Resident's Requests and Comments from the Floor
Mr. Gordon Ziebarth, Bicentennial chairman, indicated to Council and City
that a Bicentennial Committee does exist and preserted official Bicentennial
pins to Council members. They have been meeting regularly since early
Spring. Other officers are: Carol Baumgartner, secretary; and Helen Reimer,
Treasurer. The first project is scheduled for Sunday, July 27, and is
called "Evening in the Park" including a band concert by Irondale High School.
The time is tenatively set for 6 -9 p.m. The Bicentennial Committee is also
trying to arrange a pioneer reunion of residents of the City prior to 1958
and document this event by photographs. Long range plans are for bike trails
and other plans and long -range budget are to be presented at the next
Council meeting. Mr. Ziebarth requested Council proclaim them an official
commission of the City of Mounds View. Also that they be granted a small
budget to be used for postage for publicaticns, etc. He indicated that if
the long -range plans are accepted by the State they will share expenses
on a 50/50 basis.
Mayor Johnson expounded that in order to obtain monies from State or Federal
levels, projects must be approved and submitted as soon as possible.
Mr. Ziebarth said one goal of the Bicentennial Committee is to unity a city
split by a major thoroughfare by 1. improving communications (baseball
tournament or similar event) 2. building an illuminated sign close to

Highwa3 10 with the name of City of Mounds View with a space for upcoming
events or activities to be listed.
Mayor Johnson asked how large a fund they are requesting.
Mr. Ziebarth said $25 to $50 to be used for communciations expressly postage.
Attorney Meyers suggested a Resolution be drawn for this purpose. Mayor
Johnson directed Attorney Meyers to prepare the Resolution.
Mr. Mike Gupto, 20408 Xavis Street N. W., Anoka, requested a permit to sell
beer and concession at a softball tournament they are holding July 19 and
20 at the city hall field.
Mayor Johnson explained that in the past, organizations such as Jaycees and Lions
have applied for similar permits and were granted permits usually without fees
because they are community organizations and profits go back into the community.
He asked what organization they were with.
Mr. Gupto said they were sponsored by White Tail Inn and they belonged to
a Mounds View softball league.
Councilman Baumgartner asked what the proceeds would be used for. Mr. Gupto
indicated that it would be used for team expenses.
Council refused the request for permit to sell beer and concessions.
Warren Johnson, 7710 Greenwood Drive, asked Council to. ^lose the Mounds View
Square shopping center until a solution for the water problem could be
derived and he reported rain gauge readings obtained from the weather bureau
comparing them wi th the capaci y of the holding pond system to hold 50 year
floods.
Mayor Johnson asked Administrator Achen if Rice Creek Watershed indicated that
the shopping center has not bon designed as intended. Administrator Achen
said they had not been asked that question directly. They have not indicated
that the developer has not done what they desired. Mayor Johnson inquired
if the file indicated that the project is not designed to take a 50 year
rain.
Mr. Bock, 7760 Greenwood Drive, hopes Council will help find an answer to
the water problem or residents would be forced to take legal action.
Nyle Rolfer, 7945 Long Lake Road, said he is experiencing two kinds of water
problems. In addition to water in his basement, he has very brown water
coming through his pipes. He has had this problem for 4 to 5 years. He
has called several times and City replied that it is due to chlorine.
Manor Johnson replied about three years ago State inspectors came out and
said the chlorine content of the water was not high enough. More chlorine
was added and a few weeks after we received a rash of calls. Several engiri.
were consulted enabling the City to lower it somewhat and regular flushing pro-
grams were started. Complaints have been minimal since that time.
Mr. Casey, 7750 Greenwood, did not feet it would be advisable to flush
the hydrants with the water situation the way it is.

June 23, 1975
Mr. Redig, 781:1 Long Lake Road, felt some investigation should be made
into something other than the shopping center. He wondered if something
else had been done in the area that would cause the water table to rise.
Mayor Johnson said other things had been looked into: 1. the shopping center
2. the ditch at Greenfield Park partially filled in 3. tremendous amounts
of water, snow, and n tech frost when spring thaw occurred.
Mayor Johnson explain that cleaning the ditch is not as easy as one might
think due to the fact that it is a judicial ditch and is governed by archaic
laws.
Mr. Rebeck, 2325 Oakwood, reported that the ditch needs to be cleaned from
St. Michael down to Greenfield Park. He wondered what the administrator
or Council had done as far as finding a solution to cleaning the ditch.
Mayor Johnson said the City went in with a backhoe and dug some of the
obstruction out of the ditch but the backhoe could not go any further because
it started sinking into the ground.
Mayor Johnson said the pond by the shopping center was pumped.
Mr. Skiba, building official for the City said the water table dropped the
next day. He verified by reading a log he had kept of rainfall measured
from his rain gauge and water levels taken from a test hole in his back yard.
Mr. Rebeck asked what had been done at this point by City to solve problem.
Mayor Johnson explained steps that had been taken by the City since Monday
evening to help alleviate the problem: 1. attempted to pump the pond,
2. determined to hire hydrologist and engineers to look at Greenfield Park,
ditch grades, drops, costs and how to cover the costs.
Engineer Bearden asserted that it would do no good to clean part of the ditch
it would only create a pond in that area.
Mr. Rebeck asked if a flow test could be taken to test the flow on the north
side of Hillview against the south side.
Engineer Bearden said he did studies and tests and read documented elevations
and hydraulic gradients. He said that digging out some of the blockage may
help but would not by any means be a permanent solution. Engineer Bearden
displayed a drainage map and indicated areas drained by storm sewers and where
the water flowed.
The regular meeting was recessed at 9:15 p.m.
Mayor Johnson called to order the public hearing on vacation and /or major
subdivision of Ronald Michna for property at southwest corner of County Road
112 and Edgewood Drive.
Attorney Meyers reported that Michnas had contacted their attorney and it
was determined that it would not be necessary to vacate the existing plat.
And it then would be considered a minor subdivision.
Mayor Johnson expressed concern about landlocking in case a road may be consid-
ered in the future.
-4-
June 23, 1975
Mrs. Barbara Haake, Planning Commission Chairperson, said that Michna
indicated to the Planning Commission that only one person would be willing
to consider a road going through, everyone else wanted to keep their large
lots.
Councilman Baumgartner objected to a 30 foot easement on the south of the
property because it would make a substandard corner lot.
Mr. Michna retorted that variances have been granted in the past on this
same lot size.
Councilman Shelquist explained in other similar instances the Plannirg
Commission has denied potential lot splits where future roadways would be
closed. And further that this is not cause for variance because there is
no undo hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property.
Mayor Johnson said because the lots are already platted at 75' frontage, city
code would not prohibit building on them.
Motion (Johnson) to grant the lot split subject to two corner lots being
90 feet, interior lot 78 feet,a ten foot drainage easement on west lot
line, 30 foot easement on south lot line for potential street.
Motion died for lack of second.
Motion (Baumgartner) to approve lot split as presented with ten foot
easement on west lot line, lot sizes to be as indicated on surveyor's
certificate.
Motion died for lack of second.
MSP Shelquist- Johnson) to deny lot split on basis that to grant it as requested
would close off posibility of a future road and development of back remaining
lots and to grant it in any other way would require numerous variances not
only in lot size but in setbacks because it would create only a 68 foot build-
able space. 2 Ayes
Baumgartner Naye
Mayor Johnson called the regular meeting back to order at 9:37 p.m.
Mr. Dave Kasell, representing Perkins Cake and Steak proposed site on Highway
10 north of the Mermaid Supper Club. Mr. Kasell said there are two entries
and exits on Highway 10, the dining room faces the highway with a 100 car
parking lot, family style dining, and a sit down restaurant open 24 hours.
They do not propose changing the existing lay of the land.
Mr. John McLennan, Rice Creek Watershed Engineer, explained the type of
drainage required by their organization. Water runoff will be forced through
two boards so placed to form what is called a baffled weir designed to slow
down the flow of water and catch cigarette butts and other debris and drift
of automobiles- -only water would pass through.
Mr. Warren Johnson voiced concern about getting any more water in the area.
He could not see another development started without first correcting the
situation caused by the shopping center.
Mr. Roger Johnson, 7767 Long Lake Road, said permits for additional buildings
or houses should not be granted until the water problem is taken care of.
-5-
June 23, 1975
Mr. McLennan said the water after leaving the weir would flow into the ditch
on the southwest side of Highway 10. The problem of draining water would have
to be worked out between the city, highway department and Rice Creek Watershed.
The culverts may not be sufficient.
Mr. Gordon Ziebarth, 5150 Bona Road, asked if the baffel could be blocked up
by sand draining across the parking lot and flowing into it.
Mr. McLennan said the baffel would have to be maintained by the property owner.
Mr. Kasell said they have a preventative maintenance program to keep the
trap clean.
Mr. Rebeck asked that the City make sure this is a complete plan. A city
hydrologist should be consulted to be sure it meets approval. He is not in
the way of progress but does not want another blunder made.
Councilman Baumgartner felt it would be a good idea to let the hydrologist
firm include this proposal in their investigation.
Mayor Johnson said in terms of the overall project, the concept is fine but as
far as drainage the Council wants assurance that the design is adequate.
Mr. Kasell agreed but said the bids are let and they are ready to go.
Councilman Shelquist said he likes the Perkins concept, he also likes McDonald's,
Bridgeman's type of development. He likes to see this type of development come
into the city. He questioned the two accesses to Highway 10. He asked if they
would consider only the access on Raymond Avenue.
Mr. Kasell did not feel it would be as good a flow. He was not opposed, but
not excited about giving it up.
Councilman Shelquist said he was concerned about the additional traffic
backup that could be generated at the traffic signal with the second opening
by the Mermaid.
MSP (Johnson- Baumgartner) to approve the concept development of Perkins Cake
and Steak as proposed subject to Council approval at a later date by Council
action subject to approved traffic entrance and exit, accomodations for water
and sewer, storm water draining, lighting, trash enclosures, and site approval
at a time staff and Council are able to secure approval from private consultants
on water and final approval to be given on July 14 providing everything is in
order.
Councilman Shelquist asked what if problems are not resolved by that date.
Mayor Johnson saki that Perkins indicated
City wants to do is make sure everything
Councilman Shelquist would like to see a
city engineer and Rice Creek Watershed.
they are ready to go and all the
is right, specifically drainage.
time set to meet with Mr. Herbst,
Mayor Johnson said a status report shall be made n June 30, given to Council
on July 7th and a final decision on July 14th. He d2..ected the staff to arrange
for this report.

Mr. Dimke, Mr. Goyer, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. McLennan, and Mr. Cardinal, members
of the board of managers from Rice Creek Watershed were introduced to the
audience.
Mayor Johnson reiterated the problems the City is experiencing with water and
asked if these gentlemen could shed some light into the problems: 1. abnormal
heavy rainfall and heavy snow melt, 2. shopping center with two holding ponds
not working, 3. ditch partially filled in which needs cleaning.
Mr. Lyle Nelson, 2357 Iiiterwood Road, asked that Item 4 be added to the list
as another problem: 4. fill being deposited in the park.
Mr. McLennan drew a sketch of the shopping center location and indicated
the holding ponds and what was intended for drainage in the design as such.
He said the plan was brought before them by Robert Gottsacker, designer for
Paster Enterprises. The Rice Creek Watershed board of managers reviewed the
plans. The design was not done by Rice Creek Watershed, it was approved going
through the permit process of Rice Creek Watershed. The land was high and
sandy. Water percolated through the ground rapidly. On the storm event on
April 28, baffles on the roof were set wrong. That was corrected. The pond
to the south has been functioning normally.
Warren Johnson said water ponded on the north side of the center and did not
even flow into the pond.
Mayor Johnson stated the pond should be emptied in six to eight days after
a rain and was not at present functioning as designed.
Mayor Johnson stated that when both of the ponds were dug they were supposed
to be above the water table but when they were dug they were below the water
table.
Mr. McLennan said storage capacity in the ponds has not been available.
Water was pumped last Wednesday, and result were positive. Mr. Paster
proposed pond be emptied at a slow rate to drain ponds to desired level
in a matter of a few days regardless of the weer table. On Saturday the
level of the ponds was not overflowing.
Mr. Johnson said where the driveway left the shopping center catch basin the
top of the catch basin was ten inches above the water in the ponds. On Friday
night at 10:30 p.m., the water was rushing over the top of it and also on
Saturday.
Mr. McLennan said the catch basin cover is to be replaced because the present
opening is not large enough.
Mr. Johnson said the first flood took tons of sand into the catch basin and
it is probably plugged because it sure is not taking the flow of water.
Mr. Casey said he can produce pictures of water running over the catch basin.
Mr. McLennan said Mr. Paster proposes running an underground culvert from the
north pond to the south through the culvert under Long Lake Road.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if this would be a permanent installation.
Mr. Rolfer asked about draining the ditch.
_7_
June 23, 1975
Mr. McLennan said Blaine is proposing the improvement of Judicial Ditch No. 1
looking for Federal funding ($250,000.00). The drainage laws are so old
and archaic. The cost of repairing the ditch cannot exceed in one year the
original cost of the ditch.
Mr. McLennan said the intention of the holding ponds was to reduce the rate
of flow of water into the ditch. Water runoff close to the creek the idea
is to get it there soon, water runoff far from the creek should be held back.
It must reach the creek at a slow rate to prevent erosion of the banks.
Mr. Johnson said when this originally happened in April, Mr. Paster said the
holding ponds were designed by Rice Creek Watershed.
Administrator Achen replied Rice Creek had input into the design and it was
done in conjunction with them and Paster's designer.
Mr. Johnson said Paster refused to give him the name of their insurance
company but he managed to find out who the insurance company was. Nobody
wants to take responsibility for the damage. He doesn't feel the shopping
center should be allowed to continue construction.
Mayor Johnson addressed Ray Johnson, who said he was at the meeting only as
a viewer for Paster Enterprises, and asked him if he would agree to temporarily
taking whatever it may to pump the ponds.
Mr. Ray Johnson said he was not in a capacity to commit himself but could
not imagine that Paster would not be cooperative.
Mrs. Carol Ziebarth asked who is going to be responsible for the cost.
Mayor Johnson said a court of law would have to determine who is at fault.
Mr. Jerome Casey said he did not see a solution by draining water directly
down Highway 10 to Rice Creek. He ;till can't see how that will keep the
water from crossing County Road I.
Mayor Johnson said the storm water running into the catch basin will be
channeled through a conduit back of the shopping center. He added that
additional catch basins should be installed to take care of the water
running off the roof.
Administrator Achen questioned the storage of water on the roof.
Mr. Zimnewictz, State of Minnesota Building Code Department of Administration,
reported that he was at the meeting at Mr. Skiba's request. He said there
were no buildings that he knew of in this area that used the roofs as holding
ponds. He said the most a roof could hold should he 30 pounds f___
r ..0 auJ per square foot
of water and 40 pounds per square foot of snow. He added that Burt Getsug
from Paster Engineering firm was uneasy and unhappy with water stored on the
roof. Rocfs are not designed to hold water in this climate because no one
knows for sure how much water will be frozen before snow falls on the roof making
more than 40 pounds per square inch. This condition could cause and has
caused collapse of buildings.
Mayor Johnson asked how many hours it would take to pump the pond. Mr.
McLennan said six hours to pump the northwest pond.
MSP (Johnson Shelquist) that construction on the shopping center be ceased
as of tomorrow morning and that the engineers from Rice Creek Watershed,
-8-
June 23, 1975
Paster's engineer, city engineer, State of Minnesota inspector.and Mounds View
building inspector get together to resolve the problems to solve drainage
problem for the Mounds View shopping center and no further construction is to
take place until a solution both temporary and permanent is brought to the
City Council. As a temporary solution that the two storm water holding ponds
be emptied in at least 8 hours and that each 8 hour period the ponds be emptied.
The costs to be incurred by Paster Enterprises.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if they could be pumped dry.
Mr. McLennan does not think that will be a problem but 8 hours is a very
strict requirement.
Motion was amended to 24 hours.
Councilman Shelquist asked if in the original design planned for the shopping
center if there is enough water storage to handle a 50 year rain.
Mr. McLennan said these are calculations of engineers including storage on the
roof.
Councilman Shelquist did not feel that Paster should be required to pump the
ponds continuously, but after a week of pumping, draining them once each rainfall
should be sufficient.
Add to Motion, pond shall be pumped dry in at least every 24 hours for the
first week and after that, after each rain.
Councilman Shelquist said one month ago Mr. Johnson appeared at the meeting
complaining of the water damage to his basement and construction was stopped
and Paster was given 30 days to present an adequate solution to the water
draining across County Road I and to prevent additional water from running
across County Road I.
Mr. McLennan reported on the ditch. He said he inspected portions of the
ditch. He discovered erosion from Mr. Harstad's property contributed to
blocking the ditch. Also, tires, boards from tree houses, papers and further
up in the park area substantial blockage and a new channel cut due to fill.
He said a little hand work could clean out the ditch temporarily relieving
some of the problem.
Mayor Johnson asked if the city took a drag line and scooped out the ditch
to clear that area, what affect it would have on the whole drainage.
Mr. McLennan said it would not have any affect at all.
Mayor Johnson asked if the ditch were hand dug as much as possible would it
alleviate any probiem.
Mr. McLennan said it would be of some help.
Mayor Johnson said it may be feasible to use some of the project money
which was saved by not having to pay to have the fill hauled away to clean
out some of the ditch.
Mr. McLennan said the City would need a permit from Rice Creek Watershed
and agreement with the Department of Natural Resources.

ORS figure was challenged but they would not accept the Metro Council figure. The
latter is a factor in the City's levy limitation.

Judy Rowley member of Lakeside Park Commission said the agreement is
that Mounds View does summer work and Spring Lake Park does the winter work.
Something should be done about who does what to distribute the load. And,
a lot of people from Spring Lake Park and Blaine use the park and she personally
has not seen very many Mounds View residents using the facility. Mr. Matti
didn't want Mounds View police to check the park, he said he did not trust
them and felt Spring Lake Park police should be called instead. Mrs. Rowley
feels there is a lot of leaning toward Spring Lake Park because the chairman
is from Spring Lake Park.
She said there had been a celebration at the park and the beer license had
been issued through Spring Lake Park and questioned if they should not
also have obtained a license through Mounds View.
Councilman Baumgartner said a review of funds should be made.
Mayor Johnson said the costs would have to be substantiated or Mounds View's
contribution to the park may not be there this year.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that they have not provided us with an
adequate financial statement.

Board hearing on their overall plan. The map was unreadable. Ramsey County
court records on the ditch are not in good shape and are hard to obtain.
Councilman Shelquist said Jeffrey Goetz's used car lot had been asked to
screen their lot from residential property across the streetand a green strip
was to be installed. It will be necessary to force them to complete these areas
to keep our credibility.
