Mounds View City Council July 22, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 23 Council Member Marty commented that he had not heard about water infiltration basins and asked if this would be coming to Council as well as discussion concerning the detention pond/infiltration pond on the south side of H2. Public Works Director Lee indicated these items were added to the project to get Rice Creek Watershed District approval. He then said there would be a total of 8 infiltration basins which are depressions in the boulevard area to allow water to infiltrate into the ground. He further stated that the plans would be revised. Council Member Marty commented that the third would be located at the southwest corner of H2 and Long Lake Road. Public Works Director Lee explained that the basin would be located within the City's right-of- way behind the curb and the plans would need to be revised to reflect that. Council Member Quick asked for clarification on the holding pond being required. Public Works Director Lee indicated that one of the infiltration sites is large enough to be a holding pond. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Tabie Approval of Resolution 5804 Until Revised Plans are Available for Council Review. i Ayes - 2 Nays - 3 (Thomas/Sonterre/Stigney) Motion failed. Public Works Director Lee indicated that a tabling motion would kill the project for this year. Council Member Quick commented he felt it was necessary to see the plan prior to approval. Mayor Sonterre indicated that the first asphalt would be put in this year and the second next year. He then asked if the road would withstand the traffic and a plowing season with one layer of asphalt. Public Works Director Lee indicated it is actually advantageous to do it this way because the road goes through a freeze thaw cycle and can be evaluated for any issues with the roadbed before the final asphalt layer is put in. Council Member Quick asked how the manholes would be dealt with. Public Works Director Lee indicated they would be flush until the final wear course is installed and would then be raised up to be flush with that wear course. Council Member Quick asked if that was reflected in the bid. Public Works Director Lee said yes.
