Steve Jankowski Page 3 November 19, I997 It appears to have a bottom near ground water with some limited depth of perched water likely due to silt in the bottom. This would not seem to be the sort of pond or wetland that could handle a lot of developmental runoff and maintain its amenity value. The City of Anoka is planning on maintaining this wetland with a fairly uniform water level. The City intention is to limit and restrict the surface area tributary to this pond so as to maximize its aesthetic value. It would be Anoka's intent that no Ramsey developmental runoff and only limited Anoka runoff, primarily from pervious areas, be routed to the Lot 3 Pond. An aspect-that' needs-to' be resolwcl for the City of Ramsey flow to Anoka is cost participation; The City of Anoka has a significant investment in its stormwater system. The improvement work has been funded from the normal multiple of sources including assessment, State or State Aid Funds and General taxation including tax increments. The City of Anoka has in the past entered into agreements with the communities of Andover and Coon Rapids for mutual storm water service. An agreement between Anoka and Ramsey to address initial cost, maintenance cost, and system depreciation or ultimate replacement is necessary. These agreements are relatively routine. Ray Schultz of the City of Anoka would be the contact person. Let us know if we can be of assistance in this. Sincerely, HAKANSON ANDERSON ASSOCIATES, INC.
