Mounds View City Council February 22, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 4 1 Mayor Mueller asked if there was a risk of damage to the watermain if trees were planted on the 2 berm versus shrubs or bushes. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported 3 trees would do more damage. 4 5 Mayor Mueller questioned if the watermain could be moved. Public Works/Parks and Recreation 6 Director Peterson stated this would be cost prohibitive. 7 8 Mayor Mueller inquired what made the most sense for the height of the berm on this property. 9 Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained his only concern was how much 10 fill would be placed on top of the watermain. He stated the City would still need to be able to 1 1 access the easement and watermain.
