Approval of Minutes: June 9, 1986 Motion Carried 5. Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor u1 Reinertson, 2741 Ardan Avenue, stated he has a titer problem and asked what the Council plans on doing about it. Councilmember Haake asked if Mr. Reinertson had attended the meeting at Abiding Saviour Church and heard what was discussed. Mounds View City Council June 23, 1986 Regular Meeting Page Two Mr. Reinertson replied he had, but he wants something done now. He added the problem is with the storm sewer, which plugs up and backs up, and he is tired of it and he wants his problem cleared up and given to someone else for awhile. Councilmember Haake explained that at the meeting, a presentation was made of the cost of the work that would need to be done, possible solutions, and how it might be financed. She added that it is antici- pated the cost for just the Ardan Avenue area would be about $500,000, which the City does not have. Mr. Reinertson repeated that he didn't care, someone else could have the problem now. He stated that the water gets 4 -5' deep in his back yard, and he could float a boat back there. He stated they have been clooded in their basement many times, and had just ,aplaced all the carpet before being flooded this east weekend. Mayor Linke stated the City is looking into possible solutions, and he asked when the culvert was put in. Mr. Reinertson replied it was 8 or 9 years ago, and it does not do any good. Director Thatcher explained what Mr. Reinertson has is a 5 to 6' reinforced concrete pipe that is out of the ground for a catch basin. He stated he does not know why it was installed or the purpose for it there. He added the problem in that area is the storm sewers downstream are undersized and there is not enough of a holding area. He stated there is no funding source for the $500,000 improvement, of which the figure comes from the John Johnson study. Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated he believed the sleeve was put in in 1977, as a result of a recom- mendation of a task force, comprised of citizens. Director Thatcher stated that removing the sleeve would not solve the problem, and the only way to andle the problem is to find a funding source. Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting Reinertson stated that at a meeting 3 or 4 ears ago it was decided that no more building would oe allowed in that area until the, problem was solved. Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained that was the wetlands moritorium, and how that came about. Councilmember Hankner explained that once the wetlands and flood plain ordinances were adopted, the moratorium was lifted. Attorney Meyers suggested the City could create a special tax district and tax the residents of that area. He stated 300 acres could be split out. Director Thatcher stated that a 20,000 square foot lot would be assessed less than $100 per year for 15 years. Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated he has given the information on how to petition for improvements to the residents who asked for it. Mr. Reinertson stated he was told second handedly that the City was going to install check valves. lerk /Administrator Pauley replied that that is not 'the City's plan. He added that the holding pond by Groveland will remain, and some of the lots there will not be allowed to be developed. Mr. Reinertson stated he feels it is the City's fault that he has this problem, and he wants the City to take care of it. Attorney Meyers stated that under Chapter 444, they would have to prepare an ordinance and hold public hearings in order to establish a tax improvement district. He added they could declare the whole City a tax district and assess everyone evenly. The Council directed Attorney Meyers to research the possibility of declaring the City a tax district, and the procedures to be followed. Mrs. Reinertson asked why building permits were given out for homes in areas where the water is so high, Mayor Linke replied that if they meet all the Code requirements, the City cannot arbitrarily deny a permit to build. ;M ouncilmember Haake pointed out the water table has risen since many of the homes were built.

He stated the Planning Commission has reviewed this and recommends approval contingent upon approval from the majority of the home owners association. arlin Grant, of Mary Anderson Homes, stated they had net with the condominium residents last Tuesday, and 16 out of 17 who were present signed the agreement to change the remaining condominium land to townhouses. He stated there were no negative comments what so ever, and the one person who did not sign the agreement chose not to because he did not sign things of this nature in general. Judith Maekel stated it was her husband who did not sign, and while she had not been at the meeting herself, she was concerned with what the ramifications could be. She added she has nothing against what they are planning to do, but she is confused. Councilmember Haake explained that the developer can only construct condominium units or townhouses there, and nothing else. Attorney Meyers advised Mrs. Maekel to have her attorney review the association bylaws if she had any questions, as it is not the City's responsibility or authority to do so. Mrs. Maekel stated she was concerned that there were of as many street lights in place as she felt there hould be. 6. Approval of Consent Agenda 7.
