FROM THE FLOOR Land Fi I I Complaint Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence McGough, 1666 Johanna Boulevard, "ere present and stated their disapproval of the type of land fi II being dumped on the Arden Hills Sportsman's Club property on the north side of johanna Blvd. Mr. McGough, owner of the McGough Construction Company, informed the Council that this type of fill cannot be dumped In any other Village; they are forced to use a pay dump. He stated in his opInion this con- stitutes a public nuisance as there Is no dirt content and also this ~=~er!al Is being dumped on Mrs. Meyers' property without her consent. Trustee Crepeau, member of the Arden Hills Sportsman's Club, stated that the owners of the property, namely: the Sportsman's Club, Ramsey County and Robert AShbach, had given permission for this fil I and the purpose of this filling Is to enable a road to be built over the swamp to tne Sportsman's property. Attorney Courtney Informed the residents that VI I lage Ordinance No.3 prohibits dumping without the consent of the owner, but if the dumping Is a public nuisance, this would constitute a violation of a State Statute. .. Mayor Nethercut requested Attorney Courtney to check the Ordinances of other Villages and also to review the Arden Hills Ordinance. Mr. and Mrs. Blom, 3197 Shorewood Drive, were present. Mr. Blom ex- pressed his concern about the same fill matter as mentioned above. His concern being that the filling of this swamp would effect the control of the level of Lake Johanna. Mrs. Blom informed the Council that four families on Shorewood DrIve are now haclng water probleM' due to tha hlg~ level of the alke and believes the water level should be controlled. Engineer Don Lund stated that the County does control the level, but did not know at what level Lake Johanna is set.
