Councilmembers Crichton, Woodburn and Wingert. Rice Creek M'atershed District Representatives �oyer, Hamdlton, Dimke ancl Weidenbacker Arden Hills Engineer pon Christoffersen Shoreview Engineering Assistant Bob Johnson, City Pianner R11ke Btack. Mr. CY�ristoffiersen presented t�o proposals for storm water plans 3n the Lexington Avenue and 694 drainage area. One p{an was iabeled Base Plan. The other k•as labeled Alternative "A". Mr. Chrls-toffersen indicated that the mafn difiFerence in the plan is that i�hs Base Plan inciudes a 72 inch storm pipe along the norfih E-694 right-ofi-way from Lexington Avertue to a pond labeled B-2. Mr. Ciiristotfersen stated that -rhe �4lnnesota Department of Transportation is in favor of the Base Plan because it handies ehe 5U year flood. He stated fihat h1nDOT is sesrching for funds to do the work. Mr. Christoffersen briefly described the proposed cost of tho project and the assessment to each city. i�ayor Wedeil s�ated thafi Shoraview does recognize th� drainage and #raffic problems in the area. He suggested that i-he two storm plans be sen# -to sfaff for further study and recommendation. Shorev3ew Cc�uncilmember �IcGraw ques'tioned the necessity of pipes as opposed fio ditches. Shoreview staff �aas dir�3cted to find out whether or not Mr. Reiidng dedicafed some land nortn ofi I-694 for a holding pond. Shorevi�W questions.that atl the a!i'ernatives have 6een considered. For example, the cost of acqufring land for use as pondirtg could reduco the size and exteni' of pipes for drainage, and hence reduce the cos� of the total projact. Aiso, Shoreview needs to determine what fis ass�ssabio acreage, 4etoro the best plan is daterminable. The Shoreview s�rategy Is to clean �p Lexington/F drainage now and as far south as 9-694. The trade-offs on pipes versus ponds will at aeast be worked to identify a solution to 4he.norfih area. There v�as generai agreemenf with i-he objective of finding ponding north of a-b94 if possible, and aiso expectation of bsing abSe to find ponding soui�h of i-694 to amoliorate i-he soutf�ern area pro- Ject costs. Finding the money for thls r�ill be another set of fssuos Shoreview must work. Whether or not to proceed with the south area nora or �to defsr tfi to 6a-ter, recognizing fihe assessment �rob9oms that may bo a r�sul�t or dofarring, was fihe final issue discussed as beino part of the trado-offs. Resoi�•od was fio have the engineers {-or Arden Nills and Sfioreview mee-F �o dev�fop i-no facfivai informafilon for the trade-off5. tdr. Bcb Hamif�on suggested that as much upI-ond s#orage of water as poss161e be done in order fio reduce pipe siza downstream. RCi�D sTresses waT�r quality at leash as much as water quanfiity. ilence upland ponding is particul�rly welcome because It accomplishes boi�h objectives.
