I cannot require the developer to further develop tbe property. Mr. Goodrich - It i. general knowledge that the water table i. a. high now a. it ba. been in 10-15 year.. Some of the.e problems were not recogni&ed when certain area. were developed. Had tbe city required more of tbe developer. witb regard. to drainage, curb., etc., the buyer. of the propertie. would .till have paid for tho.e extra.. I I I I I I I I I Lyle Bggers - 7930 157tb - Have .een the drainage problems but why does the water .top at Hwy. 10; tbere .hould be a natural drainage flow to tbe river. County Rd. 183 is being ruined because developer. are draining northward. Bwy. 110 atops tbe natural flow of tbe drainage and now tbe citizens have to pay to correct tbe problem. Mr. Raatikka - Hwy. 10 stops tbe drainage and forms a physical barrier. In tbe Fall of 1985, monitoring wells were installed and it was found tbat once you go across Hwy. 10 the water table drops 7'-8'. Lyle Eggers - I think the Federal government should pay for ruining a natural drainage pattern. Mr. Raatikka - Tbe heavy rainfalls over tbe past few years are also contributing to the drainage problems. Lyle Eggers - Tbe heavy rainfalls are just a natural cycle we are going through. Mr. Hartley - Tbe Department of Transportation will pay for some of the drainage system based on the amount of square footage they occupy. If tbe city ever does any improvements in that area, we will be sure to contact them. I I I I I Terry O'Connor - 15311 Iguana Street RW - I am planning on selling and leaving the area by this summer. If what you are proposing goes the way you want it to go, will I have to payoff my share of the improvements at the sale closing? Mr. Hartley - Don't think that we are trying to sell you a method of financing storm sewer drainage systems. We are giving you one of tbe options. More tban likely you would not be paying for the improvement before you leave. If Council would adopt the ordinance on April 22, it would not become effective until 30 days after it's official publication. After that, a public bearing on tbe improvements is required. It is not likely that any property taxes would be levied related to tbose improvements until 1987 at the earliest, and even more likely to be 1988. If we used the metbod of special assessments, wbetber or not the seller or buyer pays tbe assessment is a negotiable item. Terry O'Connor - Whenever tbe city conducts a public hearing, tbe potentially affected persons are notified by letter. I just bappened to notice tbis public hearing notification in tbe paper; a lot of tbe residents do not get the Anoka Union. I I I I Mr. Hartley - Law legal newspaper. is bour bope tbat requires us to publisb public bearing notices in tbe city's Tbe Union did us a favor and publisbed it as front page; it people would read tbat paper. We also included an article April 15, 1986 Page 6 of 12
