<br />. , . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />drained that way. It goes into a ditch that already exists and <br />goes into the ditch that runs into Valentine Lake. We have a <br />ponding area behind. So about one-third of our water is drained <br />off and gets picked up by the Highway.Department's ditch that <br />goes into Bethel Ditch. <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: Sir, for clarification, is this your <br />location here? This drainage is as he said, and goes into the <br />highway drainage system and is conducted by a culvert to the <br />Bethel Ditch. This portion right here is contemplated - we may <br />use a portion of this system but not reinstall any drainage <br />system down in front of your property. <br /> <br />MR. PAUL MILTON: Are we going to get a nbtice then, at <br />assessment time? <br /> <br />MAYOR CRICHTON: Yes, you will be notified. <br /> <br />MR. PAUL MILTON: Because water, we've got it already. <br /> <br />MAYOR CRICHTON: The land that currently is drained in <br />total that ends up in Bethel Ditch and Lake Valentine is what <br />has been delineated here as the total picture rather than <br />taking each piece, a little bit (inaudible) the line indicates <br />where the ultimate drainage is. Are there any further questions <br />or objections or congratulations? <br /> <br />MR. WAYNE SERKLAND for Tri-State Land Company: Having <br />heard Mr. Christoffersen's presentation with regard to the <br />project and the drainage and how it's going to be accomplished, <br />I didn't really understand or hear why - what the impetus, the <br />need or the reason for the project is. Could you address that <br />question first for me? <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: The need for the project is to tie <br />in all of the loose ends we have now in the south portion, <br />south of Interstate 694 along Lexington Avenue. Ramsey County <br />is proposing to widen that portion of Lexington, which will <br />fill in the ditch. This would cause a conduit to have to be <br />constructed from south of 694 on the west side of Lexington <br />down to Grey Fox Road. The elevation of that conduit is 'lower <br />than the existing ditch line by two or three or four feet. I <br />don't recall exactly what it is. It is actually lower than the <br />existing conduit on Grey Fox Road. Therefore we have to chase <br />that pipe out into the open - we reach an opening where we can <br />hit actual ditch bottom somewhere around the westerly portion <br />of the Tri-State property. <br /> <br />MR. WAYNE SERKLAND: By that, might I understand that it's <br />actually the road change that is being made by Ramsey County <br />which is making the existing levels of the existing ditch system <br />inadequate? <br /> <br />MR. CHRISTOFFERSEN: It will eliminate them completely, <br />that's correct. <br /> <br />6 <br />
