LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 17, 1995 10 Oakdale participated financially in that project in proportion to the amount of water they contribute to the right-of-way. In Bohrer's opinion, he believes this project will meet its desired goal to solve the erosion problem. Will it transmit that problem to the city of Lake Elmo --its difficult to tell at this time. The terrain in Lake Elmo is quite flat and reduces the velocity of water. He will have to take a wait and see attitude. There were concerns on what appears to be the beginning of a Helmo Avenue extension. Bohrer believes the work was done on the county right-of-way. He contacted the City of Oakdale and Washington County. The city led him to believe this was initiated by the county and the county said it was initiated by the.City so he has not been able to sort this out. The county began planning for this road in 1994. If there was a good likelihood for a road to go through some time in the future, the County felt it better to construct the entrance with curbs at this time. There are provisions in the Oakdale plan to construct a trail. Bohrer does not believe that state aid funds were used on this particular project. The city was not notified until all the work was done. C. Review Hill Trail/Hill Trail Court Drainage Problem Bohrer tried to contact the Taylors on two different occasions, but has not been successful David Brown stated they are high enough and think with creative landscaping in the back yard they can solve the majority of their problems. Bohrer responded it would have to be determined if the land to be filled is wetland or not. Mr. Brown was asked to contact the Building Official and Planner as to permits necessary to fill between the house and the berm. D. Partial Payment #1 - 1995 Overlay Project, T.A. Schifsky - $237,846.04 Larry Bohrer reported T.A. Schifsky and Sons have completed all the overlay work and the city should be able to finalize the project in November. Bohrer recommended approval of Partial Payment No. 1 in the amount of $237,846.04. M/S/P DeLapp/Conlin - to approve Partial Payment No. 1 in the amount of $237,846.04 to T.A. Schifsky and Sons for work on the 1995 Overlay Project. (Motion passed 3-0). 9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Councilman DeLapp reported that Sue Dunn talked to the Washington County Public Works Dept. about the landscaping to be done on County Rd 19 from the freeway up to the Regional Park. The County has run out of money for landscaping the parkway on 10th St, and deferred any possible planning of landscaping until 1997. DeLapp added that when County Rd 10 project came in, the County acknowledged the fact they were putting in a massive project, but would ameliorate it by doing some nice landscaping and we would be very pleased with their work. Council member Conlin pointed out that in the Washington County Parks and Open Space Commission minutes the Commission wants the county staff to seek help from the City of Lake Elmo in providing winter access to the Lake Elmo Regional Park. At no time was the City in favor of parking off of County Rd. 17, but requested the county to provide parking area. M/S/P Conlin/DeLapp- to direct the staff to draft a letter to the Washington County Parks and Open Space Commission indicating the City of Lake Elmo has no intention of assisting in this project; that it was presented to us by the County, and the Council did not favor parking off of County Rd.17. (Motion passed 3-0). Council member Conlin asked that the city extend the offer to the Planning Commission to attend the Sensible Land Use Coalition for Rural Development on October 25 at the Days Inn/Airport.
