The northern route would leave the northwest side of the pond and run across Lot 0220 (Don Klassen); through Lot 0160 (Don Durand); to Lake Elmo Avenue. At Lake Elmo Avenue the pipe would be routed around the south side of Pierre's Pier and the Clyde Durand home. The preferred route of the pipe will be determined from land and easement acquisition costs. City Engineer Bohrer explained that there will be times when Lake Elmo is above its outlet. In this case, without a functioning outlet, the critical storm would cause Legion Pond to rise about 1.5 feet. Therefore, the flood protection dikes around the lowest home should remain in place. The water from Legion Pond was tested for total phosphorous and clarity on July 24, 1986 by the VBWD. The results were 67 ug/1 total phosphorous and 2.0 meters for the secchi disc. Coli£orm bacteria (an indicator for the presence of sewage) was not tested but is anticipated to exceed the 1980 level because of the deterioration of the five lowest septic systems. Based on a total average annual runoff volume of 42.4 acre feet to Lake Elmo, 3.5 kg of phosphorous will be added to Lake Elmo. This amounts to less than 2 percent of total estimated annual phosphorous load to Lake Elmo. Based on the information available, it does not appear that outletting Legion Pond will have a noticeable effect on Lake Elmo water quality. Estimated Cc Construction $ 75,420 Contingencies (10%) 7,530 Engineering, Legal, Administrative 16,600 Permanent easements 1.3 Ac 6,500 Temporary easements 1.3 Ac 650 Total Estimated Project Cost $106,700 It is anticipated that the entire project cost will be assessed to the benefitting property. The majority of the benefit is to the six low homes along the west side of Legion Avenue. There is also some benefit to the remainder of the property around Legion Pond, but to a lesser degree. Bohrer recommended that a preliminary real estate appraisal be done on the Legion Pond property to determine estimated amounts. , Permits will be required from the following agencies: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Valley Branch Watershed District Washington County Highway Department Minnesota Department of Transportation will have approval authority on the VBWD permit because of the use of MnDOT pipe in the downstream system. M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to approve the recommendations of the City Engineer and authorize an expenditure up to $1200 to have an appraiser's report on the increase of market value to adjacent properties around the
