Mr. Harold stated that there was water on County Rd. I in
February so the work is not done. Mayor Johnson replied that
the work that needs to be done is an issue, but one of the
primary considerations is who is going to pay for the work that
is done and still needs to be done.
Warren Johnson, 7710 Greenwood Drive, stated that every time he
has talked with Mr. Paster, the latter has said he would take
care of things -- he said a check for damages was in the mail but
Mr. Johnson has never received it. Paster is just stalling.
Mr. Johnson doesn't see why we have to listen to any more lies.
Chester Glisan, 7800 Long Lake Rd., stated that water will seek
its own level. The ditch is not deep enough and the water backs
up. The water table is high now and if we get any more rain we
will have wet basements. We have to pay, we expect the same
from you people. Co. Rd. I is not deep enough.
Councilman Shelquist stated that the Comstock & Davis report
stated that the holding ponds were not adequately installed.
He does not see what the requirements of Rice Creek Watershed
were in terms of cubic feet or what actually was finally constructed.
Eng. Bearden stated that he does not know the figures, but there
was a change during the construction from a verticle concrete wall
to sloping sides. In addition the original calculations that
were used indicated roof storage as part of the holding, that
was disallowed by the State building inspector. The ponds are
not as large as they would have been if they had been constructed
with verticle walls.
Councilman Shelquist asked if all of that was carried out by Paster and
Rice Creek Watershed without the city being involved. The
administrator stated that he was contacted today and the engineer
for Rice Creek Watershed examined the ponds Friday when they
were empty. He estimates 50,000 cubic feet actual capacity.
The District was promised 86,000 cubic feet, so the ponds are
about 5/9 of the originally proposed size. Eng. Bearden
stated that perhaps this is the total of the two ponds rather
than for each. Mr. Frisch said that was his understanding.
He was satisfied at the time that it complied with the requirements.
There are many conflicting reports, and he would like to get
this coordinated.
Warren Johnson stated that the water storage is inadequate, plus
the roof was not designed according to plan. Mayor Johnson
said that the roof was designed at first to store water, but
after it was built the engineer had second thoughts about storing
that much water on the roof. Mr. Johnson further stated that
the city made them take all of the baffles off the back. He
asked whether the District issued a revised permit.
Howard Boever, coordinator of Mounds View Square Shopping
Center, stated that he knew there was a problem with excessive
amounts of weight on the roof, but how it occurred he doesn't
know.
