. . ~ Minutes of Council Workshop Meeting Wednesday, June 20, 1984 - 7:00 p.m. Page Three Christoffersen noted that there are deep swamp areas along Hamline which he proposes to surcharge; suggested that the time to do this would be at the time of the Hamline/I-694 intersection improvement. Council authorized Christoffersen to present the option proposals to the State, with the understanding that Council will again consider the options for the intersection improvement before the State decision is made. (Rauenhorst left the meeting at 9:25 p.m.) Karth Lake Level Christoffersen reported that the level of Karth Lake has risen and residents are concerned about loss of trees; explained that there is no outlet from the lake. Christoffersen reported that Bob Todd has been taking lake level measurements. Keith Enrooth reported that he has already lost 4 Oak trees; other residents will also be losing trees because of the high water; suggested that pumping out about 1~'-2' of the water would help the lake residents; noted that lake is up about 2' since the ice went out - level has risen about 18" over the last two weeks. Bob Todd referred Council to water level data recorded between September 22, 1983 to June 13, 1984; noted that he canoed around the lake and observed that about 50 oak trees have died and many are right on the water's edge; suggested that if City is considering a pumping solution, it should be done now. Todd said the original plat of Karth Lake Estates shows the lake at 929.8 (1977); lake is now at 936.0, an increase in elevation of 6.2 feet. The lake area was estimated at 15 - 18 acres. It was queried whether it is reasonable to pump it, and, if so, would it be a temporary or permanent pump. Council requested that costs of pumping be obtained for Council's consideration at the June 25th meeting. Water Tower Antenna Proposal Woodburn reported on the possible request to use the water tower for mounting "whip antennas" instead of constructing a 150+ foot high tower to serve a mobile telephone service. A structure of about 22'x26' to house equipment is also needed. Ccuncil concurreo to make this an agenda item for the June 25th Council meeting.
