LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL, MINUTES SEPTEMBER 5, 1989 PAGE 3 6. PLANNING/LAND USE/ZONING: l A. Preliminry Plat, Packard Park, 3rd Addition (Continued 8/15/89) M/S/P Williams/Graves - to bring back the preliminary plat, Packard Park, 3rd Addition for Council consideration. (Motion carried 5-0). The Council noted the City has encountered a unique situation with the slow perking of the pond due to the soils. City Engineer Bohrer stated the pond in place qualifies and satisfies the subdivision in place, but does not meet the intent and performance for the Third Addition. Bohrer indicated that possible reworking of the existing pond could be done. Bruce Folz stated it would be a worthwhile investigation. He would get a backhole to dig a hole to see what soils are down about 8 to 10 feet. If the soil maps are correct, then it should work. This would increase the pond approximately 25 percent. M/S/P Graves/Moe - to grant preliminary plat approval for Packard Park, 3rd Addition; contingent on the capacity and seepage capabilities of the pond be deemed acceptable by the City Engineer either in a form of a second pond or an enlarged existing pond.
