LRRWMO Meeting.Minutes • October 16, 1997 Page 4 Jankowski reported the City of Ramsey will be submitting another wetland banking application for the extension of C.R #116 between Ramsey and Armstrong Boulevards. He noted the LRRWMO will probably be receiving more applications of this type in the future. No action required. Anoka County Project Request Schultz explained that Anoka County wants to start work on a street project but has not yet made application or presented submittals. Doug Fisher, Assistant Anoka County Engineer, explained that SRF Consulting Group designed a storm water pond to alleviate a water problem they have had associated with East River Road. He advised that he has a permit application and fee which he will submit today. Fisher reviewed a plan identifying the location of roadway under consideration and explained this section of roadway does not have a positive storm water system. He noted the location of two 72" dry well catch basins which collects drainage in this general area. Fisher explained the adjoining properties which are • impacted. like to totally remove our drainage from going into that area south of the roadway by eliminating the outlet into the low azea and provide a ponding azea for water quality purposes and extend new sewer system to existing sewer system on South Street. He stated Anoka County does plan some roadway reconstruction and this project has been designed. to ultimately serve for that project as well. Will buy a ponding easement from the School District and pond will not impact the ice rink or ball diamond/play ground azea. will built fence 6:1 slope, gradual slope, designed to be a dry pond but will be fenced. because of sandy soils expect pond to dry out quickly but if problem could run perforated pipe at bottom of pond to assure it dries out quickly. Fisher stated he appreciates Schultz' help in directing him to the meeting today. He explained they would like to start the project right away through a change order of an existing project. Fisher estimated it will cost about $85,000 and stated it is a viable project since it will remove the flooding concern of Anoka County, City of Anoka, and School District. In response to Jankowski, Fisher explained they will have to remove the sidewalk during construction and will then replace it. The pond area will be fenced but continued to be mowed. He fiurtlrer explained there may be minor modifications with regard to the exact location of the fence, gates within the fence, or steepness of the slope based on School District input. He advised the School District is receptive to the project since they realize they are also involved in the flooding issue. Discussion occurred regazding the area of storage and direction of water flow from the pond towazds a positive outlet. Fisher explained the pond is designed to this size because there is no capacity downstream so the drainage will be metered into the City's system. Weaver stated his support for this project.
