Mounds View City Council March 14, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Nine ,Mayor Linke clarified that the path can go right up to the property line, if it is decided on by the Council, and he also pointed out that the yards do not go down to the pond, as there is a City easement all the way around. He added the plantings will be between the path and homes to help mark the property line. He also explained they were not able to demand any additional access paths to be put in by the developer at the time development was going on. He also noted the path would be maintained by the City. Councilmember Hankner stated the plantings should help in keeping people on the park property rather than in the residents yards, and she added that she is con- cerned that it is actually feasible to put the path in. Bob Carpenter, 2650 Lake Court Drive, stated he has a problem with run -off and suggested putting in a plastic pipe, something along the line of drain tile, to let the water run out. Dave Radamacher, 7421 Parkview, stated the land by him is very low and there is a natural drainage area there also, and with any sizeable rain, he has water standing in his yard, so he felt something would have to be engineered to handle that. Councilmember Hankner stated she would like to have the residents come in to talk and work things out, and have the engineer look at the plan and if it is feasible, determine the design. Park and Rec Director Saarion stated Mr. Boxrud has suggested bringing in a bobcat, and lower the areas that need it, and then landscape the area. She added that he had checked the area before the snow came. Councilmember Wuori suggested a bridge or some other means of getting over the wet areas would have to be built. It was noted there is a bridge already in the area in question. Councilmember Hankner pointed out the City is planning to hire an engineer in the near future, and they could postpone action until they have someone on board, or they could go now with Short Elliott Hendrickson, but whoever they go with, they should have the same person working on the project from start to finish.
