ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – MAY 14, 2018 8 <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka provided further comment on how assessments <br />could be paid in part or in full at City Hall between now and November. <br /> <br />Michael Gonzalez, 1415 Indian Oaks Court, requested further information on the work that would <br />be completed on the pond near his home. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka described the work that would be completed on this <br />pond. <br /> <br />Mr. Gonzalez asked if the chain link fence along the pond would remain in place. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka commented this fence would be removed to allow <br />for the work to be completed on the pond and would then be replaced. <br /> <br />Mr. Gonzalez expressed concern with having a chain link fence being located that close to the <br />pond and feared it would put the neighbors at risk for a backup. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka assured Mr. Gonzalez that proper outlet pipes were <br />in place to ensure a backup does not occur. <br /> <br />Chris Anderson, 1361 West Floral Drive, asked if the City had concerned using a rollover curb <br />versus a higher curb. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported a barrier curb was needed to accommodate <br />drainage within this project area. <br /> <br />Ms. Anderson stated she objected to the barrier curb. She commented on how difficult it was for <br />handicap individuals and children to get over a barrier curb. She questioned when residents would <br />be told if they needed to move plants or shrubs from their yard. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka encouraged residents to move all plant matter <br />thirteen feet back from the curb to be safe. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden reported the barrier curb was being recommended by the City Council <br />due to the numerous drainage concerns in this area of the City. <br /> <br />Paul Paradise, 1366 Indian Oaks Trail, stated he recently paid to put a culvert pipe in his yard to <br />address the water situation within his yard. He asked if this would be dug up. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Polka reported she would speak to Mr. Paradise in further <br />detail regarding this matter to ensure the drainage was done correctly. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant thanked Mr. Paradise for coming in and bringing this concern to the City’s attention. <br /> <br />
