Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, September 12, 2016 <br />Page 21 <br /> <br />area is under water with a two-inch rainfall, which happened four times this sum- <br />mer when Gluek Lane North and South were impassable and Fairview was under <br />water. She stated if that is happening now with a two-inch fall, she would ask <br />what are they going to do when there’s a three or four-inch rainfall or even more. <br />Ms. Willis stated it will go to the lowest areas from 958 to 960 so she does not see <br />how there can be any sort of grading or fill allowed on the lot of the proposed <br />subdivision as it will reduce the water storage area. <br /> <br />Ms. Willis stated some may think Gluek Lane floods because it is a low area but <br />that is not true as 954 feet is not low for Roseville, noting the high school is at <br />940 feet, the south side of City Hall is at 920 feet, and the new Wal-Mart is at 918 <br />feet. She stated it is not the elevation that’s the problem, it is there is no way to <br />get the water out of the neighborhood due to inadequate drainage. <br /> <br />Ms. Willis stated in 2005, the City of Roseville had a 110-year event, a six-inch <br />rainfall, after which the Fairview underpass was under water. However, four <br />times this summer it has happened where Fairview has to be closed and it was not <br />a 100-year event. Ms. Willis stated until something is done to clear this flooding <br />problem, she does not see how the City can have any more development at all in <br />the Gluek Lane area. She requested the City Council deny this subdivision pro- <br />posal. <br /> <br />Jim House, 1895 Gluek Lane <br />Mr. House stated he has lived at this address for 40 years. He stated the letter and <br />petition reflect a concern and does not primarily reflect a denial. It is the concern <br />that water issues need to be mitigated. Mr. House noted that Ms. Willis has <br />pointed out a lot of things including the recognized flooding that occurs all across <br />South Gluek Lane. In addition, her picture showed the water was coming out of <br />the storm sewer and had knocked off the heavy metal covers. Mr. House stated <br />the mitigation proposal, to him, may be a valid answer and provide some holding <br />capacity but he is not an engineer. He stated he is friends with the neighbors at <br />1926 and they informed him they have two sump pumps running all the time be- <br />cause there was a lot of water in the area. <br /> <br />Mr. House explained a Ramsey County ditch had run through this area and the <br />easements reflect the outline of the storm sewer. He used a map to point out the <br />locations of catch basins including the one in the photograph and stated the low <br />area needed to be appreciated. Mr. House stated in the development of 1898 <br />Gluek Lane, they had to deepen and enlarge a pond but over the last year or so, <br />that area is filling in so its holding capacity may not be the same. <br /> <br />Mr. House stated the addition of a pond on the proposed new lot raises additional <br />questions as to where it will empty once it fills, how long the water will remain, <br />and if it will become a mosquito breading pond if the water is retained. He added <br />that on the north end of Ferris Lane, there are two holding ponds that retain water <br /> <br />
