Mounds View City Council Page Six <br /> Regular Meeting July 13, 190 <br /> done other than people can take the responsibility to use good practices. <br /> Jeff Roos, Harstad, stated that the computations on the project had to <br /> encompass the entire drain basin which is approximately 150 acres even <br /> though the lots are 5 1/2 or 6 acres in total. All flood storage and <br /> enhancement calculations based on what could be done for the entire 150 <br /> acres. The water quality enhancement study was done for the entire basin. <br /> William Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, stated according to the presentation <br /> made by Mr. Roos, the wildlife value will decrease by 1/10 of 1 percent <br /> =which=is 8, 657 vs. 8, 651. Werner asked-if this-computation can be--made--then <br /> _ <br /> why can't the question of what percent of these lots will be in the wetland <br /> itself be answered and can gardens be put in the setback area and will half <br /> of the houses be in the setback area. <br /> Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he would spare the Council the <br /> litany now that the Council is experiencing the effects of changing the <br /> wetland ordinance from preservation to enhancement. Mr. McCarty further <br /> asked why the City, if it can control acts in wetland areas and maintain its <br /> integrity, would it take park dedication property in lieu of the 10% park <br /> dedication proposal. <br /> Mayor Linke responded that the City Council would not accept the park • <br /> dedication proposal being offered by Harstad. <br /> Muriel Brainard, 7900 Greenwood Drive, asked why the houses need to be built <br /> in the wetland area. Why do we encroach on wetlands? <br /> Mayor Linke stated that Mr. Harstad had owned this property for many years. <br /> Linke further stated that he did not understand why Mr. Harstad did not <br /> build on this property before the wetland ordinance came into effect. <br /> Harstad then could have filled and put lots of houses in there. <br /> Fortunately, it did not happen. <br /> Muriel Brainard concurred with Mayor Linke and asked the City to stick to -- <br /> the ordinance. <br /> Roger Stigney, 8400 Eastwood Road, opposed alterations or variances to the <br /> ordinance although he does not live close to this particular project. <br /> Stigney asked why this development couldn't be modified so it didn't <br /> encroach on the wetland. <br /> Patricia Eggers 7944 Groveland Avenue, stated her opposition to building on <br /> any part of wetlands. Eggers stated she wonders if Harstad should be <br /> liable for the sewer system damage if the City has floods. Eggers further <br /> stated that Harstad should guarantee no floods for fifty years and pay all <br /> damages in the event floods occur. <br /> Jeff Roos, Harstad, stated that Harstad is in compliance with the storm • <br /> water drainage plan. Roos stated that he didn't know anyone alive that <br />
