Item No. 1 <br />Staff Report No. <br />Meeting Date: March 5, 2001 <br />Type of Business: W.K. <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/Subject: Presentation / Discussion of Greenfield Park Ponding <br />Proposal <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />Representatives from Rice Creek Watershed District will present the preliminary ponding plans <br />for Greenfield Park. Post cards were sent to over 200 property owners surrounding and adjacent <br />to the area, informing them of this meeting. An informational meeting was held in late February <br />to present these plans, take public comments and consider revisions to the initial plan. <br /> <br />The proposed plan will alter the current nature of the park, essentially creating an open water area <br />and will result in the loss of some forested areas. In return for the utilization of public property, <br />the City of Mounds View will receive approximately 4 acres of wetland credits, which may be <br />sold to the public or utilized for City projects involving wetland mitigation. The project, if <br />approved will also provide surface water treatment of an area of the City, which currently has <br />none. In the future, if street improvements are constructed in the area, the City may be requested <br />to construct water quality ponds, which could significantly increase project costs and possible <br />assessments. <br /> <br />It is anticipated that the Watershed District will request direction from the City Council whether <br />this project will receive the City’s support to continue. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_________________________________ <br />Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />C:\Mike's documents\projects\Greenfield Park Ponds\Pond Proposal WS Decision.doc
