rest of the lots which he felt might indicate a problem with water pooling
there. He questioned whether the parcel could be graded in a different way
so there would not be any low area.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if the adjoining lots to the west were resid-
ential.
Mr. Carlson said the lots are in Anoka County, and he was not familiar with
the zoning on that side.
Mayor Johnson asked if there was a way to grade Lot 2, Block 2 and drain
the water down to lot six.
Councilman Baumgartner noted the radius of the cul de sac at 65 feet and
wondered if that would leave enough room for a truck to turn around and
if this plan had been approved by the fire department.
Mr. Carlson said he had talked to the chief of the Little Canada fire de-
partment just to get an idea of what he would need and he said the only
truck that would not be able to turn around would be the hook and ladder.
Engineer Bearden stated Chief Fagerstrom had seen the plat and only requested
that a fire hydrant be installed, and Project 1973 -4 plans will be revised
to include this. Mr. Carlson said he wanted to be made aware of where the
hydrant was being installed so he could plan his driveways accordingly.
Councilman Baumgartner was concerned about drainage on the rear of Lot 1,
asked if this will be a situation of pooling water for persons living to the
west.
Mr. Carlson said water pools in an area west of his plat. This is Anoka
County, but the areas on the plat that are low don't have standing water.
Mayor Johnson said it looked like there was a low spot between Lots 7 and
8. He asked the engineer if it would be feasible to put a storm sewer
drain line between Lots 7 and 8 so that all of the lots starting at Block 1
could be run down to the storm sewer catch basin.
Engineer Bearden said he did not think this would solve any problems and
doubted that we could extend it into the area because the storm sewer pipe
would not have enough slope to drain adequately. The upper end of this
whole storm sewer system is quite shallow.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if a swale could be run between Lots 1 and 2,
Block 1.
Engineer Bearden was not in favor of this idea.
Mr. Carlson asked if Rice Creek Watershed said anything about drainage,
because to the best of his knowledge they approved everything in his plat.
Mayor Johnson said the letter they sent did not include any comments.
