Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 1-13-92 Page 4 KEMism (Cont'd) The Engineer outlined actions for Council • consideration: \ O 1. Authorize preparation of the Feasibility Study. �f 2. Authorize advertisement for bids. 3. Authorize the Engineer to ccuplete staking of the pond. Councilmember Malone questioned if the area benefitted from this improvement includes any properties surrounding the Keithson development. Graham stated the three areas outlined in the report that appear to derive benefit fron the improvement and may be assessed are the Keithson Addition, the Reiling property located to the southwest of this addition and the property southeast of Keithson Drive. There was discussion relating to the future development of the Reiling property and drainage issues. Graham advised the outlet proposed for installation on the Reiling property at this time is sufficient to handle the runoff for the property in its undeveloped condition. He explained that when the property develops, further grading would be necessary to increase the size of the pond and a pipe would be installed to direct runoff toward Snelling Avenue. Malone questioned if the additional runoff, as a result of future development of • the Reiling property, was considered when calculations were presented to Rice Creek Watershed District. Graham explained the calculations were prepared in accordance with the drainage report which was drafted in late 1970. Councilmember Hicks asked for clarification that the current grading plan proposed for the ponding area is only sufficient to meet the needs of the Keithson Addition. Graham stated the current grading plan will be sufficient to ac=nodate the existing drainage from the Keithson area and a long range plan is prepared to meet the water needs of the area to the southwest, when development occurs. Hicks questioned if there is a drainage ditch located along the north side of Arden View Drive. Engineer Graham stated he has no recollection of a ditch in this area and there is a large hill. He explained the drainage currently flows toward Shelling Avenue and to attest to alter the runoff may create more problems. Councilmember Hicks asked the City Attorney if any progress has been made in discussions with the developer of this property and Mr. Reiling. Attorney Filla advised he has sent correspondence to the developer and indicated to him where the process might lead, that as soon as the City obtains an estimate . on the cost of the work on Keithson Pond the information would be forwarded to him. He stated if the City orders a more detailed feasibility study, a copy will be forwarded to the property owner.
