GRASS LAKE WATER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION AGENDA ITEM Date: 03/23/00 Prepared bu:,Karl Keel Item: A-2 .y, ~j;; ~ Organizational Items ~,,,~,a Item Description: Staff Reports on Pending Matters 1. New Developments/projects within Shoreview affecting the GLWMO: a. Ramsey County Lake Owasso Residence Ramsey County is currently planning for the renovation of their existing housing/programming facility for developmentally disabled adults. The property is located on Owasso Boulevard and includes approximately 400' of frontage along Lake Owasso. Generally, Ramsey County's plan is to replace the current institutional type facility with nine detached residential-style units, with outdoor common/recreational areas incorporated into the layout. Overall, the number of residents living at the site, and staff working at the facility, is expected to be nearly the same as what exists today. At this time Ramsey County is asking the City of Shoreview for Concept Stage approval. Details concerning drainage design, utility extensions, erosion control, aren't typically addressed at this early stage; however, City staff have already met with Ramsey County's project design team and expressed concern regarding the potential impacts to the Lake during construction, the quality of storm water runoff from the site, etc. The County's consultant will be working closely with city staff on the site design details over the next few months, as the County moves through the approval process. Ramsey County's schedule at this time anticipates a design and review process that could lead to construction later in the Fall,. and continuing into 2001. b. Grass Lake/Snail Lake Regional Park Ramsey County Parks Department is currently seeking Shoreview approval for the construction of an entrance road and 33-vehicle parking lot along the south side of Gramsie Road, near the intersection with Mackubin Street. The proposed improvement is consistent with the previously adopted/approved Snail Lake Regional Park Master Plan, and has been the subject of prior informational meeting with area residents. As a result of input from the area residents, City Advisory Committees and staff, the County's plan reflects a reduction in the number of parking stalls, from 80 to 33. Drainage from the paved areas is being directed to storm water treatment basins previously constructed as part of Shoreview's Gramsie Road project. City staff and advisory committees have been involved with the design/review process, and the project will likely receive formal City approval this spring,
