LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 3 to construct a house on their property and have been issued a building permit to allow the construction work. In order for the Hendersons to build their house, they want the City to remove the street barricade. They indicated that they feel the condition of 15th Street is adequate for the time being and are not asking for any improvements to the road at this time. The City Maintenance Department installed a traffic barrier and cul-de-sac on 15th Street this summer in order to keep traffic and parties out of the end of the street, next to the County Park. The City Maintenance Foreman believes that the road will have to be improved with gravel and ditch -culvert work if it is going to be maintained properly. The estimated total cost of barricade removal and Improvements to the 700 feet of roadway to be approximately $3,400. City Administrator Overby explained that they only had one contractor that did an estimate on this which was $3,371. If they just did the barricade work and ditch filled in behind the barricade, some compacting and gravel, the Maintnenace Foeman estimated approximately $420 for this minimum work. M/S/P Christ/Morgan - to remove the barricade on l5t-h Street and approve the minimum fill and compacting ditch work. (Motion carried 5-0). City Administrator Overby will check with the contractor to see how soon this work can be done. C. High Water on 32nd St. Edna Rubbert, resident on 32nd Street, has asked what the City intends to do to solve the high water problem at the end of 32nd Street- where her house is located. City Engineer Bohrer reported that the pond at the east end of 32nd Street has been plagued by high water for some time. The pond has equalized with the Reid Park Pond for over one year. The rising water level has covered the east end of 32nd Street and covered a portion of Edna Rubbert's driveway at 11328-32nd Street. The Maintenance Department has raised the roadway a few times in the past. The present situation is that there is again about 2-3 feet of water over the low end of the Rubbert driveway. There is no other access to the garage and Mrs. Rubbert has been parking on the street for some time. It would take about $500 worth of fill to raise the driveway and roadway and one day of loader and operator time to place the fill. M/S/P Morgan/Dunn - to approve the filling and diking work in the amount of up to $500 as recommended by the City Enginner for Mrs. Edna Rubbrt at 11328 32nd St. (Motion carried 5-0). D.
