Mayor Gamec Motion carried. Aye Case #5: Public Hearing on Improvement Project #99-67 (Storm Sewer for Mississippi River Stormwater Subdrainage District No. 1) Mayor Gamec closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 9:07 p.m. in order to conduct a public hearing. Public Hearing Mayor Gamec called the public hearing to order at 9:07 p.m. Presentation City Engineer Jankowski presented the Council with a modified feasibility study addressing the storm sewer needs for the Mississippi River Stormwater Subdrainage District No. 1. The discharge of the storm water will be made to the Sunfish Lake storm sewer. This alternative proved to be less costly than four other alternatives that had been analyzed. The improvements to the district consist of the following: · Construct a .:runk storm sewer system along the north property line in the district. · Connect the trunk storm sewer to the existing storm water pond located in the Business Park. · Connect the trunk storm sewer to the existing 42-inch storm sewer system located along the west side of Sunfish Lake Boulevard. City Engineer Jankowski noted that the total project cost would be $391,100, which would include a contribution from outside the district for overflow of Business Park 95 in the amount of $105,000. Citizen Input Robert Dillon, 6225 Highway #10 NW, Ramsey, stated that he does not understand that when there are only a couple of parcels that have a problem why the entire area should have to pay when they currently don't have a need for the storm water drainage. Mr. Jankowski explained that he was given direction to address a solution to fill the need for the entire area to minimize the overall cost because it is very expensive to jack under state and county highways. Mr. Dillon agreed with what Mr. Jankowski had said, but questioned why the pipe is not being run on the north side of the railroad track. City Council/February 22, 2000 Page 15 of 27
