LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 2, 1986 PAGE 4 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT A. Protected Waters Permit: Channel Crossing at Eagle Point Lake Inlet Channel, Washington County The Washington County Parks Department has applied for a DNR permit to construct a culvert crossing at the inlet channel to Eagle Point Lake. The location of the proposed crossing is south of the intersection of 28th Street and Ivy Avenue on park property. The purpose of the crossing is to provide access to the northwest area of the park for maintenance vehicles. In the City Engineer's report of November 26, 1986 Bohrer stated that the crossing consists of 18 lineal feet of 42" x 24" arch culvert with aprons installed in the channel. with minimum granular fill over the top for a driving surface. This crossing will be under water during most spring runoffs, but be useable during summer and fall when park maintenance is done. Bohrer understands that the crossing was designed in coordination with. VBWD engineers so as to cause no backup of water outside of the park boundaries. On that basis, he has no objections to the stream crossing. City Engineer Bohrer recommended that the City comment to the DNR that the City has no objections to the crossing as long as no water is backed up off' the County park land and as long as the VBWD approves. M/S/P Christ/Dunn - to approve the Eagle Point Park Fork Channel Crossing, but to include the comment to the DNR that the City has no objections to the crossing as long as no water is backed up off the County park land and as long as the VBWD approves. (Motion carried 4-0). B. Resolution on CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) The City Council had decided at the November 18, 1986 meeting to have the City Attorney review the language of the revised resolution and to have the City staff meet with West Lakeland supervisors to find out their desires on a possible agreement for maintenance of the existing Manning Avenue that will eventually be turned back to the City and township from the County. Mr. Dick Herold, Design/Construction Engineer, stated in his letter, dated December 2, 1986, that the County must maintain that portion of Manning Avenue within the township for 2 years after turnback. Since turnback cannot occur until the new road is operational, the earliest that the County can relinquish maintenance of Manning Avenue is late 1989. Work on new Manning Avenue should be completed in late 1987. Since the County must maintain the portion of Manning Avenue N. to be turned back to the township, they intend to maintain that portion of Manning Avenue N. to be turned back to the City for the same two years. City Engineer Bohrer and Foreman Dan Olinger meet with West Lakeland Township and discussed some maintenance difficulties. A
