Mounds View EDA July 14, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />President Linke commented that the report from Twin City Testing suggests the size of footings 214 <br />at 1500 per square foot and he usually sees 3000 pounds. 215 <br /> 216 <br />Mr. Melcher indicated that they are not looking at under sizing because the cheapest investment 217 <br />you make is in the footings. He then assured the EDA that there would not be a problem with 218 <br />that. 219 <br /> 220 <br />Vice President Stigney asked whether drain tiling would be installed in the homes. 221 <br /> 222 <br />Mr. Melcher indicated that they generally do so on the interior but on walkouts it works out well 223 <br />to do both and most of the homes to be built will be walkout basements. He then said that the 224 <br />drain tile and the sump would be automatic. 225 <br /> 226 <br />Mr. Melcher indicated that the pond does not disappear it is relocated and they will base the size 227 <br />and depth based on the estimates of water drainage. 228 <br /> 229 <br />Commissioner Quick indicated he would like to know what the elevations are in that area as well 230 <br />as the flood plain elevation. 231 <br /> 232 <br />Commissioner Marty indicated that he likes Option 1 better if the City can work it into the 233 <br />timeframe with the City installing the streets and utilities. 234 <br /> 235 <br />Mr. Lindberg commented that it sounds like this is a done deal and asked what kind of 236 <br />development they could expect next because he has looked at the sheets Staff has with them and 237 <br />it appears there is other development planned for the area. 238 <br /> 239 <br />President Linke indicated that is not part of this plan and explained the line around the property 240 <br />indicates that the City owns the property. 241 <br /> 242 <br />Mr. Lindberg asked if there would be an overall master plan rather than one piece at a time. 243 <br /> 244 <br />President Linke indicated the City started with three developers and said this has been going on 245 <br />since January and it has been in the paper several times as well as on cable. 246 <br /> 247 <br />Mr. Lindberg asked the City to get citizen involvement on these things and said he would like to 248 <br />minimize the impact to his property. 249 <br /> 250 <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated the highest part of the property is at 251 <br />902.4 feet and the lowest is at the edge of the ditch at 890. 252 <br /> 253 <br />Commissioner Quick asked for the elevation for the flood plain. 254 <br /> 255
