gravity. We looked at taking it down the freeway and sticking it in a big pond. Then we concluded this small area waan't sufficient to solve our drainage area problem. As we looked further we found the natural boundaries of an area that drains out one location - 35W over here - all this drainage goes out across the freeway and heads north, so we looked at all the area that drains directly to that outfall. In doing so we concluded that an extensive study was necessary and a rather extensive system was necessary. We established as part of this study two brand new ponds - one up on the north, shaded purple - one down in midway and then greatly extended to existing Wilson pond on the corner of C-2 and Cleveland. We then revamped the storm drainage. There's a small pipe going through here now, made larger, this was made larger and a brand new piping system to "0" and down Cleveland. In doing so we also were able to pick up out of Arden Hills some problem areas that have been reported to us in this location. I don't know if anyone is here from Arden Hills, but this is the information we received. We put this study down on paper and went back and forth as to how big the pond should be: how much it should hold; how much we should let run off, and we concluded we wanted the pond to hold all the water that would come in a five year storm and we wanted to reduce greatly the amount of water that would be heading northerly. This is to avoid flowing upstream and also to take care of several erosion problems. I'd like to quickly run through - not so much some indi- vidual design criteria - but some of the things we think will be accomplished through this project. It picks up run off which currently jeopardizes some developed property along "D", and also some problems directly opposite Brenner. It allows for the development of currently vacant land which would be impossible to develop without these facilities. That parcel that was petitioned for and an extensive piece in here as well. At least we're envisioning that will be (inaudible) and there will be homes there. It provides a drainage facility which is required for future street const.ruction both for Cleveland and liD" and city roads as well, namely Brenner and Evelyn which will take place at some other time, and for C-2 which some of you mayor may not know is a city roadway. There are some problems in this area in regard to the height of this pond (inaudible) large rains would exist. It also reduces road maintenance expenses 2
