LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 17, 1987 PAGE 12 excavation operations with the VBWD contractor and do the work at the same time. The plan is to excavate their shoreline to create a steeper slope to the water and therefore, reduce the amount of horizontal fluctuation. The excavated material will either be hauled away or used to create a wildlife island in the southeast corner of the pond. Since Crombie Pond is a protected water, City Shoreland Regulations apply. A City Shoreland permit is also required. The proposed work is allowed under Shoreland Regulations. Since the excavated material will be hauled away or used to create an island, there will be no loss of stormwater storage volume. Bohrer had the following recommendations. 1.. The applicants represent 4 out of the 9 property owners around Crombie Pond. 2. Shoreland Regulations limit the maximum slope of the land to the water at 6:1. 3. All disturbed area, including the island, should be seeded and mulched as soon as possible after construction to prevent erosion. b. Approval of a Shoreland Permit should be conditioned on VBWD permit. M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to table this application until the next City Council meeting, which will be an informational meeting in order to solicit comments from the other neighbors. (Motion carried 5--0) . C. CSAH 15 Project Plan - Di.ck Herold, County Engineer City Engineer Bohrer reported that Washington County is planning to reconstruct CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) from the C&NW Railroad tracks to loth Street. The County received preliminary layout approval on December 2, 1986. They have now submitted plans for the City's review and approval. Construction is planned for 1987. The City will take over the maintenance of a portion of old Manning Avenue two years after completion of new Manning Avenue. Most of the new construction takes place in West Lakeland Township, but that portion of Manning Avenue from Downs' Lake to the C&NW Railroad tracks border Lake Elmo; therefore City approval of the plans is required. The impact to Lake Elmo is twofold: there will be a new connection to connect old Manning Avenue which will become a city street in two years and the segment will be upgraded in its present location from Does lake to the railroad tracks. Bohrer has reviewed the plans and finds them acceptable. He recommended that the plans for CSAH 15 be approved, subject to approval by the VBWD. The drainage computations are quite lengthy and the VBWD has not yet completed their review. M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to adopt Resolution 87-25 giving final plan approval to the CSAH 15 (Manning Avenue) reconstruction project; subject to approval by the Valley Branch Watershed District. (Motion carried 5-0).
