A very small portion <br />of the ditch runs through the southwest corner of Arden Hills and drains into Lake Johanna. He is <br />requesting a resolution from the Council allowing them to proceed with the improvements for this <br />project and also for Ditch Nos. 3 and 5 which they hope to improve in three to five years. Arden <br />Hills cost for RCD 4 would be minimal at $266.52 that would be charged in 2021. The <br />improvements would include replacing the ditch with a pipe. <br />Mayor Grant asked if more water would drain into Lake Johanna. <br />Mr. Axtell replied that the run off rate and volume of water flow would mimic what is happening <br />today and would actually provide a slight decrease in 100-year flood levels. He noted that as <br />Rosedale has redeveloped and they have installed underground water treatments.
