LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMEER 7. 1993 5. OLD BUSINESS: A. City Engineer -Response to Engineering Costs for 1993 M.S.A. The Council received a letter from Larry Bohrer dated September 3, 1993 explaining the engineering fees for the 1993 MSA Improvements. Councilman Johnson stated the council passed a motion to proceed with this project based on an estimate that TKDA prepared, but it was 25% low. At that point if the Council had known this, they may have made a different motion. Bohrer indicated TKDA will do as efficient job as possible. At the end of the project, he will provide a recap and the council can evaluate their services at that time. B. 10th Street & Jasmine Intersection When Don Theisen, Washington County Engineer, reviewed this street on the preliminary plat and made an on -site inspection, the street was not staked. There is a difference of approximately 50 feet from where the County thought the street was going to go and where it actually is. There is nothing that can be done at this point, but if and when the road is ever upgraded, the crown in the road can be reduced to alleviate this problem. In the meantime, they will immediately put up a sign noting "blind intersection". Bohrer reported that the site distance is not going to be improved as far as 10th Street is concerned, however the trees might be an inhibiting feature of the site and will look into this M/S/C Mottaz/Conlin - to direct the City Engineer to work with the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance that would require that all driveway, streets, etc., be staked prior to submitting for approval by any and all regulatory agencies. (Motion carried 5-0). C. City Engineer's Update on 509 Plan Revisions Larry Bohrer provided a Water Quality Data Summary on Long Lake, Olson Lake, and Olson Lakes Estates Pond. Bohrer attended the workshop held by VBWD regarding the 509 Plan's proposed revision and addressed comments on the workshop held on Lake Olson/Lake DeMontreville/Lake Jane. --There was a well installed on the south side of Lake Olson for the purpose of maintaining the lake level. Bohrer's concern is maintaining the integrity of the drinking water supply of a number of municipalities. He questioned whose jurisdiction is the well under, has the well been turned over to the DNR. The Council's position was the unused well should be closed and sealed, but would make a motion at the time the public hearing is held.
