LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 27, 1993 Page 12 Weaver queried whether Waco Street is in and blacktopped yet. Jankowski confirmed the street is there, but no lots are built yet. Weaver further queried whether the current property owner has sold lots where easement would be required to achieve redirection of the runoff. Jankowski's response was "No". He went on to state the City of Ramsey granted final plat approval, but added the condition that any addi- tional easements required would be handled through separate documents. Weaver stated he continues to believe this is the time to take the appropriate action and have the developer comply with current standards and requirements. Perry noted that the homes are not built yet; but when they are, there will be'fertilizer, etc. used on the lawns which will also be part of the runoff. He preferred that there be sedimentation before the runoff reaches the Rum River. Weaver stated he would like to see the developer use the sump in Waco Street to redirect the flow into the wetland rather than permit it to go directly into the Rum River. This is the time to do it when there are no houses in there. Weaver queried whether the sewer lines are in. Jankowski confirmed that they were. The storm sewer would have to be extended. However, not all work is done. Although, the new street would have to be broken into. Jankowski confirmed that these are not riparian lots. He further stated there are other adjacent lots nearer the Rum River which do not drain into the river; they drain to a low point. _ Jankowski provided a map of the existing grades. Weaver queried the cost of diverting the flow from Waco to the west. .Jankowski indicated the storm sewer at the loca- tion where he would have to tap into is approximately fifteen feet deep in some locations. The main cost would be to repair and retrofit the pipes. Weaver stated. with the 127 lots in this development, these costs could be distributed. He did not feel there would be that much additional cost. Schultz queried whether the development has already .been platted. Jankowski confirmed the final plat was approved the first part of May. Schultz noted that the preliminary grading plan did not come before the LRRWMO. Weaver added that the developer was grading prior to the last meeting. It did not affect what we were considering.
