<br />Councilmember McGlone reiterated that this situation is the reason for the Stormwater Utility <br />fund and asked if Mr. Swanson had considered raising the structure. <br /> <br />Mr. Swanson stated that he has considered that option or even moving the garage to the south <br />end of the lot. He stated that he is not suggesting reconstructing the drainage for the whole <br />neighborhood. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Dehen, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to approach this as <br />. anisolated concern and work with the resident by providing staff time and information so that <br />the neighbors can correct this on their own. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: Councilmember McGlone stated that he would not want to put any limits on <br />the amount of staff time given to resolve this situation. <br /> <br />Motion carried. V oting Yes: Chair Elvig and Councilmembers Dehen and McGlone.

Prepare a notice of intent to create a new quiet zone for the segment to be determined <br />based upon Committee discussion; and <br />2. Draft a letter requesting Anoka County to acknowledge and support the notice of <br />intent; and, <br />3. Draft a letter requesting the City of Elk River to consider joining the extension of the <br />created zone. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee I June 16,2009 <br />Page 4 of6 <br />
