Mounds View City Council Apri110, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />• Mr.Rud stated that Mr. Jenkins had mud in his basement and it was a lar a mess. He stated Mr. <br />Y g <br />Jenkins does not deserve this after being a citizen of Mounds View for 40 years. He stated it is <br />not right to have a bad neighbor. <br />Mayor Many asked Community Development Director Ericson if the issue has been looked into. <br />Director Ericson stated he can follow up with the presence of the silt fence at the front and back <br />of the property and commented that he passed on the comments that the street may need to be <br />cleaned up and may not have been cleaned up previously. <br />Director Ericson stated that the City's Storm Water Management Technician visited the property <br />and they both concur that the silt fencing that has been installed has been holding and functioning <br />fine since it was put up. He stated the site will be final graded later this month and there should <br />be sod there shortly thereafter. He stated Staff recommends to wait and see if this is not enough <br />of an action plan to address any potential storm water management issues between the two <br />properties. He stated Staff is not aware of any subsequent washouts or blowouts in between the <br />two properties. He stated the Storm Water Management Technician would like to see the site <br />final graded, sodded, and downspouts directed to the east and west of the building. <br />Director Ericson stated that if something additional is needed, the City would respond, but the <br />property owner, Mr. Hanson, should not have to go to the expense of putting up a retaining wall <br />• when it may not be needed. He stated Staff recognizes this is a concern for Mr. Jenkins. He <br />indicated Staff will respond if there are issues that need a City response. <br />Mayor Marty asked if there has been any basement flooding since the silt fence. Mr. Rudy stated <br />there has not been, but could not recall receiving any rain. Mr. Rudy wondered what will happen <br />when the silt fencing washes away since there is "sugar sand" in the area. He stated it is going to <br />be a big problem. <br />Director Ericson stated the final grading has not been completed. <br />Mr. Jenkins stated there is a four or five foot slant in the span often feet. <br />Mr. Rudy stated there is a five and a half foot elevation difference from the elevation of Mr. <br />Hanson's garage to Mr. Jenkins' house on approximately twenty feet. <br />Mayor Marty asked when the grading is planned to be finished and when the sod will be put in. <br />Director Ericson stated Mr. Hanson indicated the final grading will be done this month and sod <br />will be installed once the final grading is done. <br />Mayor Marty stated since there has not been any flooding this spring, that Mr. Jenkins should <br />stay in touch with Director Ericson and if a correction is needed, then the issue should be brought <br />back to the City. <br />
