Motion carried unanimously. (4-0) STAWS REPORI'; KEI'IHSON POND DRA1NAGE council was referred to a letter from Attorney Filla dated 7-9-90, summarizing the status of the staff investigation into the Keithson Addition drainage problem. Filla stated the original pond would have covered approximately 41,475 square feet; the original pond was not constructed and the developer requested the City approve a redesigned pond. On April 11, 1988, the Council approved the redesigned p:>nd which was to cover approximately 31,225 square feet and was to be deeper to a=mmodate the storage capacity of the original pond. The redesigned pond was never fully developed. The Attorney explained the pond which was constructed covers approx:iJnately 19,000 square feet and the depth of the pond is not uniform. The storage capacity of the pond that has been constructed is substantially less than the storage capacity of the original or the redesigned pond. . Filla advised he has spoken to Mr. Reiling, CMner of the property to the west of the Keithson Addition, to attempt to obtain a drainage easement over his property. He stated Reiling appears unwilling to grant a drainage easement at this time due to a pending assessment appeal which Reiling is pursuing against the city. Attorney Filla reconnnended council consider the following actions: 1. Require the developer to construct the pond as redesigned; this will probably require draining the pond in order to excavate, remove trees and grade the bottom and sides of the pond. 2. Meet with adjoining property owners to explain what will occur in conjunction with the pond construction and what .il!Ipact this will have on their property. 3. Establish a rraximurn elevation for the pond and naintain the elevation by pumping, when necessary, until the outlet for the pond can be obtained. <;:ouncil1nember Mahowald questioned if the Attorney should continue to pursue negotiations with Mr. Reiling to obtain the easement for the drainage outlet. Filla commented it would be worthwhile for the City to continue discussions with Mr. Reiling. . Hansen moved, seconded by Mahowald, to schedule a meeting on Monday, July 30, 1990, at 6:30 p.m., for the purpose of discussing the proposed p:>nd construction in the Keithson Addition, and that staff be directed to invite the property owners affected by the proposed construction and Mr. George Reiling to attend the meeting. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
