CITIZEN INPUT Jon Enstrom, 8702 181st Avenue NW, Ramsey, stated that he received information that could be a potential disaster for the community. He explained that his permit from the WMO is going to be addressed in a few days and they are going to force him into building a 2 1/2-foot dike on his property and millions of gallons of water be bleached. That process will require a considerable amount of mitigation of soil as well as kill several trees. The area will be turned into a gravel pit. He requested that the Council address the issue on a future agenda. There are some alternatives that could be done by the City. One of those alternatives would be for the City to lease or sell the adjoining outlot to his property for excavating. Mayor Gamec inquired if the outlot is considered park property. Mr. Enstrom replied that he was not sure, but noted that the property is land locked. City Council/August 13, 2002 Page 3 of 25
