Counci I further suggested thaj. McNamee <br />contact Rice Creek Watershed re possible solutions to his problem. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Woodburn suggested that perhaps an alternate solution would be the <br />creation of a pond on a portion of tho site; raising the level of <br />the balance of the site ilnd therel:rt cr';)atlng a lot \;hich..ould be <br />buildable. <br /> <br />Ramsey County Plans for Lexln<:!ton Avenualmprovement from County <br />Road E to Gn~~x Road <br />2hristoffarsen referred Gounci I to the plans submitted by Ramsey <br />Cou nty for the imp rovemerl t of Lex I ngton Aven ue f ,om Coun ty Road E <br />to Grey Fox Road, and noted certain inconsistencies, outlined in <br />'lis letter of 7/19/76, which he would like to have rectiri'3d before <br />recommendi ng approva I of the plans by the Counci I. <br /> <br />!~llne Avenue and County Road F U~provements <br />Chrlstoffarse,n referred Council to plans and specifications for <br />levaling coar'sa on Hamlllle Ave., construction of a 4' wide gravel <br />shoulder along the west side and the seal coato <br /> <br />-2." <br />
