<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES <br />JULY 14,2003 <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski stated they were not in a position to answer this at this time <br />and once a solution was made there would be another meeting to discuss the <br />financing ofthe project. She stated it appeared that residents wanted a permanent <br />solution at this time, as long as it did not impact other residents, as well as to look <br />at the possibility of assessing other property owners not directly on the lake. <br /> <br />Pam Enz, 1228 Karth Lake Drive, stated this was an urgent issue for the <br />residents along the lake. She stated she worried about the Johnson property, as <br />well as the other residents who were losing their property. She urged the City to <br />speed this decision up. She stated she would volunteer her time because she was <br />very seriously concerned about this issue. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if there was anyone along the lake who did not <br />want to pump. <br /> <br />Eleanor Hartmark, 1280 West Highway 96, stated she was on the extreme end <br />of Karth Lake and has lived on the lake for 46 years. She presented a historical <br />perspective on the lake levels in the 46 years she has lived there. <br /> <br />Linda Amble, 1219 West Amble Road, asked if there was a catch basin on <br />Lexington Avenue so 23 percent of the runoff did not come from Shoreview. <br /> <br />Mr. Landwer replied it drained to a wetland on the east side of Lexington, but <br />now there was a new development and water detention ponds were built to slow it <br />down. <br /> <br />Ms. Amble asked why there could not be two or three solutions instead of one and <br />asked why if Shoreview would contribute financially also. <br /> <br />Ann Layton, 1108 Amble Drive, expressed concerns about draining beyond the <br />high water mark. She noted in the four years she has lived there, there was a lot of <br />fluctuation in the lake level. She asked for a balance to the pumping. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski asked Ms. Johnson how far her home was from the high water <br />mark. <br /> <br />Ms. Johnson replied the front of her house was 50 feet from the high water mark. <br />She now had four feet from her home. <br />
