City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting <br />June 22, 2011 <br />3. Stormwater Drainage Problem – East of Centerville Road Between Center Street & <br />Meadow Circle <br /> <br />Residents were in attendance to discuss an ongoing drainage problem affecting their properties. <br />Mr. Cameron Letourneau, 6983 Meadow Circle spoke for his neighbors stating they were just <br />looking for some ideas and possibly some help to fix the problem. City Administrator Larson <br />stated Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director, had said the city had cleaned the ditch in this area <br />of growth affecting the drainage 3-4 times over the last 15 years. Property owners felt that the <br />main problem appears to lie within the triangle of cat tail growth between 6956 Meadow Court <br />and 6975 Meadow Circle. City Administrator Larson stated the ditch is clearly City <br />responsibility, but the wet rear yards in the area to the north is not typically a city responsibility. <br />Any work by the city would depend upon available money in the Stormwater Fund. A lengthy <br />discussion was had as to potential ways to fix the drainage. <br /> <br />The Council directed staff to look at the drainage issues north of Center Street to Meadow Circle <br />and Meadow Court and to suggest some options to solve the problems. <br /> <br /> <br />VIII.NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br /> <br />1.Minnesota DEED “Shovel Ready” Certification Application – Lots 2 & 3, Block 1, <br />Clearwater Business Park <br /> <br />Administrator Larson briefly reviewed the application with Council and requested their support. <br />This program promotes sites that have advanced in the process and are ready to being developed. <br />The net cost after a reimbursement of the application cost from Connexus would be about $3,400 <br />and these costs would typically be incurred anyway prior to a sale for the phase one <br />environmental and title work. Connexus intends to fund the application fee for two communities <br />in 2011 and two in 2012, with only one community selected at this time. <br /> <br />There was some discussion as to whether to Council wanted to answer yes or no to the LEED <br />Certified Site Requirement and the Council opted for no. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member <br />Paar, to approve the MN DEED “Shovel Ready” Certification Application for Lots 2 & 3, <br />Block 1, Clearwater Business Park as Presented with ‘no’ Selected in the LEED Certified <br />Site Requirement box. All in favor. Motion Passed Unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />IX.ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES <br /> <br />Administrator Larson informed Council that Anoka County Parks is still planning on connecting <br />to Centerville sanitary sewer, even though neither Metro Sewer nor the City would waive part of <br />the sewer connection fee. A joint powers agreement with Anoka County and Lino Lakes to <br />cover the issues will be presented to council soon. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz updated Council on the Trail Project and how it may potentially be affected <br />by a State shutdown. The contractor will be ready to asphalt the trails on LaMotte Drive, <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />
