Attorney Goodrich reiterated that Council would have to introduce this in the form of an <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Lori Farber, 171st Lane in Ramsey, stated she is present to represent the people on 171st <br />Lane. She is the representative because her property has the worst of the water mn-off <br />problem. She stated that the City had given the Smith's a variance to build their home on a <br />hill and now there is a storm water rnn-off problem. She asked who's responsibility it is to <br />take care of this problem - the City's or the Smith's. She stated that the water is backing up <br />into the sewer system and into her basement. The water that's flowing into their drain <br />fields is sewage. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated that he and Mr. Jankowski have been trying to get out <br />to view the problem since the middle of last week. The issue is "does someone need to dig <br />a 300 to 500 foot ditch or should Mr. Smith be directed to do something". He had <br />suggested to Ms. Farber that there are a number of drainage issues in the City. Staff is <br />planning to come to City Council with all these concerns and to get the list prioritized. He <br />offered to check Ms. Farber's property and report his findings back to Council. <br /> <br />Ms. Farber again asked who's responsibility it would be or is it on a case by case basis. <br /> <br />Attorney Goodrich stated that it could be the owners, or it could be the responsibility of <br />whomever is creating the problem. The City will deal with their responsibility, but this <br />may not be the City' responsibility either. <br /> <br />Ms. Farber asked if the City could make Mr. Smith do something about it. <br /> <br />Attorney Goodrich replied no, the property owners would have to take care of dealing with <br />that. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder assured Ms. Farber that Staff would be out to her property this week and <br />would come back to Council with some type of a recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated he could name a half dozen new subdivisions with <br />water problems. He felt that there should be something the City can do to hold the <br />developers somewhat responsible for problems such as this. <br /> <br />Consensus was that the Road and Bridge Committee could discuss a vehicle for the City to <br />hold the developers somewhat responsible in issues such as this one. <br /> <br />Beth Mitchell, 8500 - 176th Lane N.W., Ramsey, announced the date of the Environmental <br />Expo. She stated that from what she hears, the City Council has decided how to vote on <br />the City's zoning with regard to Case #6. <br /> <br />Ms. Mitchell was informed that she could speak to Case #6 at the time it is brought up for <br />discussion. <br /> <br />APPROVE AGENDA <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve the <br />agenda as presented but to not begin discussion of any new cases after 10:00 p.m, <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Hardin, Councilmembers Peterson, Beyer, Beahen <br />and Zirnmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />City Council/April 25, 1995 <br /> Page 3 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
