to meet the existing conditions. I will also note that the cross-hatching indicates the areas that would be served in the proposed work under Phase 1. In other words, these lots - all of this area - would become buildable under Phase 1, as would the property frontage along Josephine and a couple lots off Fermlood. Phase 2 would be the cul-de-sac, and - you can't see the "7" but it's Lots 7 and 8 and 9 along the eastern side of Fernwood. The existing situation, as I said, is that this property is vacant. There are several utilities that exist. There is an existing storm drain which carries water from a large area that heads northerly along what would be Fernwood and then turns and goes to Lake Josephine. There is also an existing sanitary sewer which comes from the west along what would turn out to be Belaire Circle, if it's constructed, turns and heads southerly once again (inaudible) Fernwood existing right-of-way, or what would be proposed right-of-way. Also, there is a lift station at that spot for sanitary sewers which serve the areas near the lake and pumps the sewage up the hill to the point where it joins and makes the bend and comes down to the south. In addition to the street paving t>7hich I showed you on the first slide, there will be storm sewers which could be done in several different techniques. This particular slide, or overhead, shows a proposed diversion that's bein~ considered by the Rice Creek Watershed. (Inaudible) received a federal grant as part of the Clean Lakes project to try and aid the lakes in the r1innesota area, particularly in the Long Lake and the chain of lakes that serve Lonq Lake, one of those being Lake Josephine. It is proposed to intercept the water near Hamline and Josephine which currently goes into a pipe into the lake, carry that in a new pipe along what would be Belair Circle, turn on Fernwood, intercept ~~e 54 inch pipe heading north, carry it through the proposed platting and over to the low, wet area on the other side of Lexington. At that point it would have a sedimentation drop, the nutrients would he cleansed to the degree possible, and then the water would go through an existing outlet back to Josephine in as pure con- dition as we can do it today with our technology. This is being proposed with the Rice Creek Watershed. They expect to have a hearing in about six weeks on this project. They have, however, as I say, received both the state and federal grants for this work and they also have ordered that final plans be prepared for this particular section so this one is further along than any of the other projects as far as their grant. If this pro~osa1 becomes a reality, and we expect that it will, then it will not be necessary to have any ponding on the site. All that would be done is the water from the streets would be intercepted at catch basins and taken
