SWEET GRASS MEADOWS DITCH PROJECT Earlier this year, Council agreed to a redesign of the ditch along Oneka Lake Blvd for the residents from the Sweet Grass Meadows subdivision whose property abuts the ditch. Specifically, Council authorized City staff to work with a local contractor to install storm water piping along the ditch that would be covered with earth, with residents responsible for installation of sodding and seeding. One key component of the agreement was that developer Rocky Goertz would resolve his wetlands determination of the ditch property. Staff has been informed by the RCWD that Mr. Goertz will not be able to obtain wetlands credit for the ditch property. The RCWD has given its permission to the City to proceed with the ditch improvement project. Mr. Goertz will need to give his permission to waive the deed restriction that had been placed on the properties for the purpose of securing utility easements, and he has verbally indicated he will do so. The project was delayed earlier this spring due to the slowness of the contractor to respond to his City obligations and the significant amount of storm water in the ditch. No formal Council action was required. The project will proceed once the necessary paperwork is filed by Rocky Goertz with the RCWD.
