LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 16, 1985 Page 5 <br />between the existing water table at 925.5 and 928.5 at which all <br />pumping must stop to protect the pine trees. It was determined <br />there is insufficient head to drive the water horizontally and <br />dispose of sufficient quantities of water. The surface storage <br />available is about 6 acre/feet, but the planned pumping will fill <br />this in a span of one and one-half to two days. Then the pump <br />would have to be shutoff for an indeterminate amount of time until <br />the water levels recede. <br />At an estimated cost of 0,500.00 the Council did not feel that <br />it was economically feasible to proceed with this method. They <br />will hold the scheduled hearing anyway to discuss the feasibility <br />of this program with the public. The City Engineer was encouraged <br />by the Council to consider any other options for removing 300 <br />acre/feet of water from Lake Jane. Some suggestions were: <br />excavating through the clay layer in the Shafer pit; breaking the <br />sea]. of Lake Jane or irrigating water onto agricultural fields to <br />the south or east of Lake Jane. <br />D. Street Light Request at Jamaca and Lake <br />Jane Trail. <br />City Engineer Bohrer stated that he has contacted all the <br />neighbors adjacent to this intersection regarding the possible <br />installation of a street light and found no objections. Councilman <br />Dunn was directed to formulate a street light policy for Council <br />consideration. <br />E. Landfill Water Supply - Discussion with County <br />Commissioners' Artie Schaefer and Sally Evert. <br />County Commissioner Art Schaefer and County Commission Chairman <br />Sally Evert were invited to the Council meeting to discuss the <br />status of the public water supply for the affected area, but were <br />unable to attend. <br />Commissioner Schaefer had telephoned the City Office and stated <br />that they had just received the recommendation from the Minnesota <br />Department of Health on the evaluation of the County and City <br />proposals. They prefer to review this first and appear at a later <br />meeting. <br />F. Other <br />1. 201 Update <br />The City Engineer stated that two people have asked to be deleted <br />from the 201 Program. They are: <br />a. Mrs. Leonard Weir, 3645 Laverne Avenue North <br />Mrs. Weir requests that she be removed from the program because of <br />the death of her husband and the uncertainty of whether she will <br />remain in the home. <br />
