<br /> CITY OJ!' ARDEN HILLS <br /> MEXIU\NDllM <br /> . TO: Mayor and City eouncil <br /> FRCI!: Beverly Aplikawski, eounci ,_hl>.r <br /> DATE: October 8, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: Arden Place DrailIage ImprovEment project <br /> Since I am unable to attend the Council meeting on October 12, I wanted to let <br /> you know my thoughts at this time re: Arden Place Drainage project. <br /> 1. It appears that everyone who is a contributor to this problem of runoff <br /> would benefit from this project. If the water would not go dCMnhill, it would <br /> stay puddled in their yard. 'Iheref=e each property should pay some amount, <br /> even if it is only a minimal of a few hundred dollars. In this scenario, it <br /> would seem that the McGuire property (1553 Arden Place) should pay 50% of the <br /> total project cost, with the city and remaining property owners paying the <br /> remainder . <br /> 2. a. In the event that the Council is convinced that there is no public <br /> benefit generated to this project, I suggest the city should keep an eye on <br /> this area. 1993 was very unusual with the amount of rain that we had and <br /> several areas experienced problems, that in the past had never before had <br /> . problems. '!he City should observe this area for perhaps 3 years, or so. <br /> 2. b. In the event that it is determined this is not a project for the City, <br /> certain property owners may want to continue pursuing a drainage project at <br /> their own cost and time. <br /> . <br />
