LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA AUGUST 15, 1995 with Mr. Siedow on August 14th and walked the area and found evidence that dirty water was flowing through, but no sediment deposit on the grass. It appeared water had gotten around some of the fences along Inwood Avenue. Royal Oaks Realty was called and those measures were taken care of today. In a swale adjacent to Siedow's property, there appears to be an area where the turf is gone. Royal Oaks Realty is willing to replace sod in those areas. Bohrer could not agree with Mr. Siedow that more water was running off this area than before because the area had not been changed and turf conditions are going to be better with gravel as opposed to corn. C. Resurfacing Project on Jane Road Larry Bohrer reported there are some new catch basins being constructed along the edge of road, new drainage going to Lake Jane that hasn't gone there before and overheads were shown of two areas where a catch basin was built over the storm sewer pipe as a safety improvement to eliminate a deep hole. There is no water added or taken away, just a different means of getting water into a culvert. Where there was an opportunity to take water away from the road or away from the lake, he took that opportunity and showed an example. Bohrer is still working on the drainage problem at the west end where Jane Road connects to Jamaca Avenue and will be contacting the neighbors involved when he gets the information together. Sue Horning asked where they put in the three catch basins south of Kiesling's property why were they not put into the storm sewer? Bohrer responded the drainage work we are doing is simply conveying the water that went to Lake Jane anyway in a safer or more efficient manner. He didn't know if there is enough elevation drop to get water from that area to the storm sewers. PUBLIC INQUIRY:Sue Dunn stated she was upset because when she came home from work and found her street (Upper 33rd St.) staked out and she had asked the city to please advise them before the project started. Mayor John and Larry Bohrer will set up a meeting with the Dunns and Markgrafs. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A.
