AR—DEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL May 26, 2009 4 <br /> Public Comments <br /> Mayor Harpstead opened the public inquiries/informational at 7:18 p.m. <br /> Kathy Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, Arden Hills, stated her appreciation for what the <br /> City has done regarding storm water runoff. She highlighted several areas where <br /> she felt additional attention would be needed by the City. One of the areas was two <br /> rain gardens that did not function as they were designed to, one never drained <br /> properly and the other was built on an incline so water never got to it. She <br /> expressed concerns over trees being removed when storm gutters were put in. <br /> Several of the replacement trees that are in her area are either struggling or dead. In <br /> several areas the sod that was laid in an effort to stop erosion is dead and needs to <br /> be replaced. She recommended the use of plants along the gutters that had deeper <br /> root systems and did not need to be mowed. The settling ponds, particularly the one <br /> by Arden Place and Ridgewood, are green and have a foul smell. She asked if these <br /> ponds would be sprayed for mosquitoes. The runoff grate on Siems Court and Lake <br /> Johanna is full of leaves and needs to be cleared out and because this runoff goes <br /> across the street it does become dangerous, especially in the winter months. She <br /> asked how often the settling ponds are checked for efficiency. <br /> Mayor Harpstead stated that Community Development Director Lehnhoff and <br /> Public Works Director Hoag would be looking into these items. <br /> Mayor Harpstead closed the public inquiries/information at 7:24 p.m. <br /> 3.
