Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor
Keith Harstad presented plans for 72 townhouse units on County Road H2 and Long
Lake Road. The City Council approved the concept of townhouses on this property
at a hearing held on June 12, 1972 subject to the presentation of detailed plans.
The Mounds View Planning Commission approved the final site plan on December 26,
1973. Mr. Harstad requested issuance of building permits for his proposal.
He informed the Council that during plan review by the fire chief the question
of adequate water supply was raised. The fire chief has recommended a minimum
fire flow of 1500 gallons per minute before any permits are issued, and the
location of one additional hydrant. The fire chief has also advocated the
extension of an eight inch water main adjacent or replacing an existing six
inch main on H2 and the extension of an eight inch main from the existing six
inch main on H2 to the 12 inch main on Long Lake Road.
Mr. Harstad stated that he agrees to the placement of an additional hydrant on
the site, but questioned whether the existing water system would not supply
1500 gallons per minute. He added that he has had the fire flow computed and
that he was informed that the system will put out 1500 gallons per minute. He
said that when the system was designed in the area the engineer at that time,
Shelley Boehm, who has since left the firm of Comstock and Davis, knew that
townhouses would be planned for the area and he designed the system accordingly.
Mr. Harstad questioned why a system that was satisfactory two years ago is no
longer satisfactory.
Engineer Bearden replied that he does not know that to be a fact, but figures
that by extending an eight inch water main from the existing six inch main to
Long Lake Road on County Road H2 the system would generate 1500 gallons per
minute. The estimated cost would be $5,000.00 to $6,000,00,
