~ . Arden Hills Council 9 August 31, 1992 is bargaining with Mr. Reiling. Filla stated that so far there has been no negotiation with Mr, Reiling to make a trade of assessment for property or any similar agreements. Filla stated that it is the City's hope that the layout of the pond will benefi t the Reiling property to a degree that Mr. Reiling may cooperate and the City can reduce its exposure to compensate Reiling for intrusion on his property. Filla added that if the Reiling property were to be assessed, assessment hearings would need to be reconducted. Filla referred to Dick Foster's objection in the Summary and Response document that if the Reiling property had been developed at the same time as the Keithson development, the cost of this improvement would be less. Filla commented that this may be true, but Mr. Reiling did not wish to develop his property at that time. Dick Foster commented that if the City had taken action a few years ago by digging the existing pond deeper, problems could have been corrected then. Filla reiterated that Mr. . Reiling has never agreed to grant an easement to allow the City to do so; if he had, the City would have taken action earlier. Fill a added, however, that assessments would have been supportable in that scenario. Hill Obiection - 4528 Keithson: Regarding Hills objection on the premise that this project benefits the entire community, Filla stated he agreed and that is why the City at 1 arge will be absorbing such a large share of the costs. He added that certain properties, those proposed to be specially assessed, receive additional benefit. Giel Obiection - 4534 Keithson: Teresa Giel stated her comments have already been answered this evening, but she was offended by some Council comments earlier this evening. Lawyer Obiection - 4539 Keithson: Filla stated this objection has already been covered this evening. Stennes Obiection - 4540 Keithson: Filla referred to Stennes' objection that the majority of the Stennes property does not drain into the pond and therefore does not receive benefit . Filla explained that Council determined that 25% of the Stennes property drains to Keithson Pond, therefore the owner would be assessed 25% of the maximum supportable . per lot assessment. Attorney Filla recommended that the July 27, 1992 Summary . and Response document and the videotape recording of this evening's meeting be preserved for at least 90 days. The ~ public hearing was closed at 9:47 p.m. I ,II
