Mounds View City Council June 13, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 14 storm water management plan. He stated that based on the borings presented it does not appear 1 that there would be any problems. He stated that a number of issues were addressed at the 2 meeting including the possibility of reorient some of the buildings so that all of the buildings 3 took access of County Road H2 would be a possibility. He stated that one of the issues is that 4 these are legal lots of record and all property owners would have to approve the reconfiguration 5 of the lots. He stated that it is not out of the question noting that they are exploring all options. 6 7 Council Member Flaherty asked if this is the site plan from 1972. Community Development 8 Director Ericson confirmed that is the case. 9 10 Council Member Flaherty asked if this looked exactly the same and is the way the judge wants 11 the City to abide by. Community Development Director Ericson confirmed that it is. 12 13 Council Member Flaherty suggested tabling further discussion until they hear back from the Rice 14 Creek Watershed District on their results. He stated that he does not see a reason to move 15 forward until that time. 16 17 Community Development Director Ericson stated that there is a time issue to consider noting that 18 if the Rice Creek Watershed District were to approve this at their next meeting, which could be 19 as early as next week, the building permits could be submitted the next day. He stated that time 20 is of the essence and they probably can’t wait. 21 22 Council Member Thomas stated that if they do this is there any expectation in the legal realm 23 that, especially with the City paying for these borings, should that change be approved, that Mr. 24 Harstad would expect City participation and funding for the construction should it go across the 25 wetland areas. She stated that this would be a question for the City Attorney noting that if it 26 looks feasible and they can do it, would they have to be of the concept that it would be more 27 expensive. She asked if Mr. Harstad would approach the City for additional funding. 28 29 Community Development Director Ericson stated it is accurate that if they did go forward with 30 the proposal and it was feasible to relocate the driveways off Long Lake Road and County Road 31 H2 and is more expensive than what Mr. Harstad would be able to install with the plan, as is, he 32 is sure that Mr. Harstad would probably approach the City for assistance. 33 34 Council Member Stigney stated that he agrees with some of the comments made by Council 35 Member Flaherty noting that just because it is feasible may not mean that it is a cost benefit. He 36 stated that it could be cost prohibitive and asked what fund would be paying the $17,000.00. 37 38 Mayor Marty stated that was also one of his questions due to the fact that this is a storm water 39 area and water would it be possibly TIF eligible. 40 41 Public Works Director Lee stated that the estimates show that it would cost approximately 42 $100,000 to $200,000 to make this happen. He stated that the City is prepared to spend this to 43 make it happen noting that it would require a permit from the County and the County might not 44 approve access onto Long Lake Road. 45
