Resident from County Road I who spoke <br />00:32 Barb Haake — 3024 County Road I, I live on Spring Lake — I am the one that probably gave the city <br />council really headaches because I am the one that went around in the latter part of 1990s, 1988, 97, 99 <br />and I went up and down spring lake road and other people too, we did not want curb and gutter, I also <br />was on their street committees back in the early parts of 2000. All I want to say is, I have been serving, <br />22 years on Rice Creek Watershed, I have been on City Council, Planning Commission, Park Board, State <br />Rep, I have been all these frickin things. But what I want to get to is that my Rice Creek Watershed <br />business told me that we have sugar sand we never really needed curb and gutter but there is one thing, <br />Nyle is not going to like this, and I am sure the council is not going to like it either, but my main question <br />is were going to have all these things were going to look at, the state aid and everything else. Has this <br />been before Rice Creek Watershed yet and I will wait in a minute for an answer? But my whole point is, <br />when this was built and we did all this streets and reconstructing in Mounds View even though there <br />were only a few people that had water that were really an issue that we probably could have taken care <br />of. I can go back to 1970 even and tell you when we hauled stuff, we could use water and have it go into <br />wetlands, etc. which is neither here nor there. But when we did all that and decided it, and it went to <br />Rice Creek, Rice Creek said you are probably going to have to purchase homes to be able to take all your <br />sewer water, this is the storm sewer water, and you take it over to an area; where it is going to have to <br />settle out before it can be released into Rice Creek. That would have cost the city a lot of money, so the <br />agreement that came about was there had to be rain gardens and there were a lot of people that on the <br />new streets and everything like that they had meetings like this and people volunteered weather they <br />put a rain garden in their yard or not. Now I have not seen on this plan any rain gardens, not sure. I will <br />be calling Rice Creek tomorrow to see if this has come before it yet. And like I said, I know this is <br />something this is something the city is not going to like to have and have me butt my head into this <br />again. But it's just something that has to be done, I don't know about if anybody else has asked for a <br />rain garden in their yards, to be able to have it, so that sanitary water that's going to come off the <br />impervious surface, were going to have more impervious surface. Is that going to be clean before it <br />goes into Rice Creek or not? That's something to do. Now my question — has this gone before Rice <br />Creek yet, and I guess this goes to Don and Nyle? <br />16 <br />
