1 Curtis Nordahl, 3513 Skycroft Drive, whose concerns had previously been 2 presented during the April 26th Council meeting, asked whether the 40 street Evergreen intended to construct next to the railroad tracks would be a 60 foot dedicated street or a private roadway. When told it 5 would be the latter, Mr. Nordahl said that constituted a basis for a 6 concern for him since he perceived the City had still not provided a 7 permanent remedy for his problem of having no access across the other 8 undeveloped lots between his own landlocked property and the property 9 now being developed. Mr. Nordahl indicated he thought the City should 10 not allow that development unless the street which was proposed was a 11 dedicated street. .12 He was told that only the street location and not its status as a 13 private street had been changed between the plan the Council had 14 accepted for a zoning change and the Preliminary Plat being presented 15 that evening primarily because there would, not be enough room within the 16 project for a 60 foot street. 17 Mary Jo Points, 3914 Foss Road, Apartment 101, indicated she was present 18 to discuss several points of concern which she and other Mirror Lake 19 residents had about the project. She wanted to know: 20 *whether the Amoco Oil pipeline which ran under Mirror Lake also ran 21 under this property; 22 *if the fact that the developers were leaving a triangular piece of 23 land between the proposed jog in the street and the railroad meant they 24 might be contemplating an egress onto Foss Road and through their 0 project; 26 *who had authorized the dumping of fill on this property which had 27 caused the nesting ducks to cross the road and to build their nests in 28 the Mirror Lake entryways instead; 29 *whether the City or whether the developers would be paying for 30 water, sewer, and fire protection for the townhomes and the streets 31 within the project. 32 Mrs. Points was assured that the Amoco Oil Co. , pipeline ran under the 33 Harstad property north of Silver Lane and east and north 'of the 34 project. Mr. Childs told her the Rice Creek Watershed District had 35 issued a permit to Ramsey County to dump the materials they had 36 removed from County Road "D" onto this property and said he expected 37 that once the developers remove that fill and provide ponding in that 38 area the wildlife will probably return to nest in the same area. He 39 also assured her and Hal Rogers, 4011 Fordham Drive, that the tax 40 increment financing the City was negotiating with the developers only 41 involved soil corrections and this developer, like any other developer, 42 would have to pay all the costs for any water or sewer line extensions 43 and for any interior streets on the property. 3
