LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL�v rNUTES MAY 20, 1997 Tom Prow has reviewed the plans and the plan meets the intent of our agreement with Oakdale and Imation for a stormwater outlet. A third building is being built on the Imation campus in Oakdale, a series of holding ponds need to be built to accommodate for lost drainage area. Because the natural flow for this water goes from the Oakdale Imation property to another property the company owns across County Road 13 in Lake Ehno, representatives requested that the City approve an extension of the drainage. This is one pond planned as part of a pond network. Danielson explained it's the first step in setting up a framework for future developments. None of the Imation representatives could say exactly what this future development would be. They speculated that it could be a further expansion of the Imation campus or even a cluster -housing development. Mayor John opened up the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. Helen Fisher, 8139 38s' St. N., complained that she had not been adequately notified of the proposed change and was wary of any construction. Danielson explained that Imation currently bas no expansion plans beyond building one pond, but that plans for more ponds, or even more constriction is not certain. The pond will be filled with nor more than six inches of water on a dry day. Marlies Jackle, 8420 39" St. N., voiced her concerns about runoff from the hnation site contaminating her well. Danielson gave assurances that such contamination would not happen. Mayor John added that the City would never pass an agreement that it thought would be harmful to Lake Elmo residents Mayor John closed the public hearing at 8:10 p.m. M/S/P DeLapp/Conlin - to approve the grading permit for construction of a swale and storm water detention pond to reduce the peak discharge from the 3M site based on the recommendation of the city Engineer in his memo dated May 5, 1997 in accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement, City of Oakdale, Lake Elmo, and VBWD as stated in letter of April 23'1 from Paul Danielson, Project Manager, including the condition that working hours shall be limited to those in our code.
