LLOYD BARDWELL DRAINAGE ISSUE MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting Page Five July 14, 1980 Although Mr. Bardwell was required by the City to install a culvert on his property, the two ditches on the opposite sides of the culvert, do not have an outlet for the water to drain off.

The cost of the engineer's investigation and recommendations will be taken from the SDM funds. Ayes -5 Nays -0 THE MOTION IS CARRIED.

Official Kampel reminded the Council of the July 30th public hearing of the Planning Commission regarding the Comprehensive Plan Update. A notice will be sent to the newspapers. (At this point, Peg Mountin (Chairperson of the Planning Commissions) noted that there was some difficulty in obtaining building space for the neighborhood meetings which would be held in August after the public hearing. She said the planning commission was going to discuss this further at the July 16th meeting.) Attorney Meyers noted he has received a document from the Scotland Green apartments indicating they are converting to condominiums. (They are serving papers to parties of interest on this conversion and that is why the City was sent this document). This is just an item of information at this point. Attorney Meyers indicated he will be reviewing the document to see if there is anything the City needs to do at this point. Attorney Meyers noted that at the last session of the legislature, Chapter 612 was adopted (re: Ramsey County League of Local Governments). Since Moundsview is involved in this, he feels it should be approved in resolution form by Council. This will be discussed at the July 28th meeting. (MOTION CARRIES) 13.
