Council Meeting Minutes January 26, 1988 I Briggs asked who would make the determination; Benke indicated council will do so on final approval, assuming the drainage way already includes the water that will be coming off this plat site. Proper responded the city's storm water management plan shows sev- eral other ponds are needed for this area; some of the future ponds on the property are shown to overflow to this pond which ul- timately is to go to the east end to Pike Lake, Long Lake, etc. In response to Benke's question, Proper indicated of the ponds in the plan, this is the biggest in the area and the developer will have to increase sizes of the other ponds for the overall drainage plan to be met. Briggs stated the temporary ponds, which are not in the drainage plan, will run water off the site very slowly; Harstad Companies will later build new ponds to accommodate the entire site; and in- dicated Harstad Companies will also try to mitigate interim prob- lems across 12th Avenue N.W. Benke stated the addition of ponds and control on this plat site will reduce water problems through Vacca's area. I Gunderman believes staff has done their job, and asked what can be done to facilitate the process. Williams stated hopefully Hickock will come up with some ideas. Briggs assured councilmembers that Harstad Companies will conform to their own grading plan. Sinda stated there are means by which the city can resolve the problems if a waterway is blocked; however, if the blockage is on private property, the city should not get involved, just as it does not get involved in the blockage of a private street. Sinda continued that if we become involved with this problem, Vacca may not be happy with the solution; and pointed out that if a private issue goes to court, negotiations are more apt to take place be- fore going to court. Benke agreed 100%, but asked if this particular problem is a pub- lic or a private one and asked that that be resolved before the next meeting. 4 Ayes - 1 Naye (Gunderman), Motion Carried I Mattila reviewed staff report regarding Phase I of the proposed project.
