LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 1, 1994 <br />Councilman Mottaz thought it was a good negotiating point to include straight lines and <br />we could fall back to Ideal Avenue. Conlin suggested asking Oakdale to support our <br />legislation on annexation and asked that the discussion with Oakdale be kept focused <br />on this area.. <br />8.

Ray Boche Drainage problem <br />Larry Bohrer reported Ray Boche came before the council asking for some relief from a <br />drainage problem. It is his opinion that the road culverts at 37th and 36th St. were <br />placed there in order to equalize the water on all sides. It may have eventually drained <br />to the south, but that had to be before the construction of this home. Mr. Boche's home <br />has not received damage, but because the water seeps away, his septic system does <br />not function well. An option would be to reconstruct the drainfield at a higher level or <br />find some way to accommodate the water. <br />Bohrer has reported that they would conduct the surveys necessary while they were out <br />doing other things on Jamaca Avenue reconstruction. Those surveys were conducted <br />and in order to grade some relief out of this area we would have to proceed down <br />approx. 700' before we get to terrain that would allow us to drain by gravity. This does <br />not seem feasible because this is actively farmed and there is no easements in this <br />area to do any excavation. One possibility is the VBWD Tri-lakes outlet runs along <br />there and there is a manhole in this vicinity. We could ask the watershed district from a <br />( policy standpoint if they would allow some type of small diameter connection which <br />
