Jean Schlueter - Noted that the vacant lot in Rum Acres Estates is currently designated as <br />the drainage area for Rum Acres Estates; inquired as to how installation of a storm sewer <br />system will affect the status of that lot. <br /> <br />Mr. Raati ~kka replied that the status of that drainage lot has not yet been determined; the City <br />holds a drainage easement over that entire parcel; part of the agreement for Rum Acres <br />Estates states that if a storm sewer system were installed, the developer would receive the <br />drainage lot back as a buildable lot. <br /> <br />Dorothy Stadfelt - 15111 Juniper Ridge Drive - Requested information regarding the catch <br />basin proposed. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that the installation of the catch basin takes about one da3' and involves <br />digging up a portion of the street. The catch basin is a concrete structure , 4 feet in <br />diameter which extends downward to the inverted pipe. The catch basin has an inlet on top <br />where water flows in and down and out through the pipe. The pipe is 20-24 inches in <br />diameter and empties into the fiver at approximately water level. The outlet to the fiver <br />must be grated and requires a DNR permit. <br /> <br />Sue Damyanovich - 15130 Juniper Ridge Drive - Stated that the area proposed for the catch <br />basin is by her home and asked if her yard and underground sprinkler system will be <br />disturbed during the installation process. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka stated that the installation is proposed to be on Sue Damyanovich's side of the <br />street within the street fight-of-way; the boulevard and sprinkler system would be restored <br />following installation. <br /> <br />Dick Knutson - Stated that it is not necessary to install the catch basin on Damyanov~ch's <br />side of the street; it can be installed on the opposite side of the street. <br /> <br />Gretchen Hersch - 15021 Juniper Ridge Drive - Stated that she has Black Hills Spruce trees <br />valued at $500-$600 and a wildflower garden planted along the sn-eet easement; inquired if <br />the storm sewer improvements will disturb that area and if so, could the trees be removed <br />and replanted. <br /> <br />Mr. Raatikka replied that the City owns the street easement and if the trees and flowers are <br />within that easement, the City can remove what is necessary in order to construct the <br />project; the area would be restored with sod. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann requested that the City En~neer review the Hersch property to determine <br />whether or not the trees would have to be removed. <br /> <br />Mr. Harfley noted that the design plans being reviewed this evening are not final; concerns <br />raised this evening along with other information gathered will be considered in drawing up <br />the final design plans. <br /> <br />City Council Public HearinffAugust 29, 1989 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
