Mounds View City Council June 14, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 3 • Council Member Mueller thanked staff for the pictures and diagrams that were provided. She suggested the neighbor at 5141 Irondale Road be contacted to take on an infiltration basin. Mr. Bergstrom felt this would make the most sense. Public Works Director DeBar reviewed the Iocations of the catch basins along the roadway noting the basin next to Mr. Bergstrom's property would catch the water from Woodale. Council Member Mueller stated the homeowner clearly has water issues on his property and adding more water to the area is a concern. She felt the site had a hardship and suggested that staff find another location for the for the proposed infiltration basin. Public Works Director DeBar stated the basin could be narrowed to match the size of the basin proposed at 5109 Irondale Road. Mayor Flaherty stated the City would be trying to direct water away from Mr. Bergstrom's property with the catch basin and new infiltration basin. No additional water would be going onto the site. Mr. Bergstrom felt all of the water from the north wouid now be directed towards his property to flow to the infiltration basin. • Mayor Flaherty questioned the Council on how to proceed with this issue. Council Member Stigney stated the Council directed staff to review to the type of mitigation basin and provide this information back to the Council. Council Member Hull indicated he would be in favor of moving the basin further to the south as the site does have water issues. Council Member Gunn noted the catch basin would assist with guiding water to the proper location along with the new curb and gutter. Additional infiltration basins up the street would assist with the water concerns as well. Mr. Bergstrom stated he was not concerned about water from the street coming into his yard causing additional flooding. At present, the rainwater and water draining from neighboring properties was enough to flood his basement. Additional water from the infiltration basin just adds to an already tough situation. Mr. Rhein stated the watershed district has changed the calculations and the City was currently behind on the number of basins at this time and would have to make up a portion in the coming years street improvement projects. . Mr. Bergstrom indicated he wanted to voice his concerns to protect his properiy. He was not looking to stop the project but wanted to have the basin moved to the south.
