The Army to this point has also been involved; they have been very cooperative and open to various ideas but there will be restrictions. Malone felt that someone with some authority and who can act for the City, needs to be in close contact with this community group. With the City being an active participant in the process, more staff time and support will be required. Council agreed Probst should continue City efforts with Staff support for the time being. AMBLE DRIVE STORM SEWER: Council had discussed earlier, the issue of diverting storm water drainage from Karth Lake. An estimate of $70,000 had been received from MSA stating this would be the cost to replace the storm sewer drainage from Amble Drive to Pleasant Drive. If the project was just to replace the piping that is currently at Amble Drive, the cost would be about $27,500. Staff reported also that minutes from the 5/27/86 Council Meeting that stated that this neighborhood would be responsible for controlling the storm water run-off into the Lake either through pumping or some other method of control that they felt comfortable with. Malone was not convinced that storm run-off from Amble Drive and Pleasant Drive raises the level ofKarth Lake to a noticeable level.

Rick Ruzicka, the Anima1 Control Officer for the City of Arden Hills and Brian Fritsinger, Community Planning Coordinator both have reviewed the current City ordinance. The primary issue seems to be the number of dogs a resident can have. Staffhas recommended that a 1imit be set at three dogs per household kennel but the Council of Dog Owners felt this limitation is too strict. They feel that it unfairly penalizes those residents that have hobby kennels and they want the allowance of six adult dogs. In researching this ordinance, Brian reported that originally, the Zoning Code allowed only two dogs per household kennel. Bev Aplikowski asked about puppies; whether they are addressed in the ordinance. Ruzicka said that puppies should be allowed to stay with the mother until they are three months but after that time they are able to leave the mother. If they are allowed to stay longer, typically they become a
