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 i 3 Ayes -2- June 23, 1975 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. -3- 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. 3 Ayes -6- June 23, 1975 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. NAME Warren M.

The sump pump is getting plugged with silt. Administrator Achen reported that Well House ##2 may have to be completely rebuilt. It may cost as much to repair as to completely rebuild the building. Engineer Bearden explained what caused the incident at the well house and said Mr. Zimnewictz said the back wall could be checked and underpinned to reinforce the foundation for the walls to be set on. MSP (Baumgartner Johnson) to approve administrator's clerical salary recommendations as outlined on June 16th memorandum,effective June 16, 1975.(J.Gre' $3.10/hr. 2 Ayes D.

Mayor Johnson said increases were intended as special and special circumstances prevail in this instance. Mayor Johnson announced that Council would be exploring the possibility of hiring a full time engineer on staff. Engineer Bearden said as far as their firm in concerned, they encourage cities to hire their own engineers and they would still be glad to work as consulting engineers. 3 Ayes MSP (Baumgartner- Shelquist) to direct Administrator Achen to contact a hydrolo- gist firm to meet with city officials to discuss and explain our problem. 3 Ayes Administrator Achen requested approval for city contribution to police selection Ftandards study. He said the major factor for contribution is to develop selection standards to assure the best possible police personnel without discrimination. Councilman Shelquist said if there is a tendancy for lawsuits to be filed against the city, he is in favor of committing $200 this year.

He reported that Revenue Sharincr estimated our population at 11,212. He said the ORS figure was challenged but they would not accept the Metro Council figure. The latter is a factor in the City's levy limitation. ATTORNEY MEYER'S REPORT Attorney Meyers said George Brooks won his judgement against the City. He was awarded $169.62 in conciliation court. MSP (Johnson- Baumgartner) to authorize the administrator to write a check to pay $169.62 to Mr. Brooks. 3 Ayes Sunrise Met`lodist has applied for Rice Creek Watershed approval for filling in the south end of their property and request permission from the City. Councilman Baumgartner said two men from City of Mounds View worked one full day at the park and one man from City of Spring Lake Park came out for one nalf hour and did nothing but watch and left. 3 Ayes -13- Ju.ie 23, 1975 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. COUNCILMAN BAUMGARTNER'S REPORT Councilman Baumgartner said the Park and Recreation Commisssion would be meeting Thursday at 8:00 p.m. COUNCILMAN SHELQUIST'S REPORT Councilman Shelquist said he attended the Rice Creek Watershed Water Resourse 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. ENGINEER BEARDEN'S REPORT Engineer Bearden reported on preliminary study on Filter Plant #1 modification. MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to acknowledge receipt of the 1975 preliminary study of Plant #1 modification prepared by Comstock Davis and that a copy be submitted to MTCA for their study and recommendation. Engineer Bearden reported on seal coating 1975. MSP (Johnson Shelquist) to authorize the Engineer to prepare final plans and specifications for 1975 seal coating. Engineer Bearden reported that part of the Herbst property did not have an area for water to get away. MSP (Johnson Shelquist) to adjourn at 2:57 a.m. Respectfully submitted Mar chen Clerk-Administrator 3 Ayes 3 Ayes
