Mounds View City Council January 7, 2002 <br />Special Meeting Page 9 <br />• Rocky Keehn, SEH, indicated that the individual property owners would need to apply for <br />permits each time they wished to do anything with their backyard and suggested that the City <br />may want to take over the wetlands to ensure that nothing is dumped in them. <br />Mayor Sonterre questioned whether the addition of these homes would have an impact on the <br />holding capacity of the ponds at Woodcrest Park. <br />Rocky Keehn, SEH, indicated that when the Woodcrest holding ponds were designed the <br />addition of 11 houses on that property was not considered. He then indicated that there is an <br />emergency overflow built into the holding pond but said the City would need to look into erosion <br />control and the impact on the system as a whole. <br />Council Member Thomas clarified that the issue before Council was whether hardship could be <br />established in order to grant the variance. She then commented that she has not seen or heard <br />anything to convince her that the hardship requirement has been met. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Marty.
