<br />MR. HONCHELL: We don't own any property other than the <br />street right-of-way on Clarmar. Perhaps I'm not understanding <br />your question. <br /> <br />MR. JONAS: Right there where that pencil point is. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: That's a very small area for constructing a <br />basin of this type. We are looking at things like the possibility <br />of manholes (inaudible). As I say, these are various alternatives <br />for working with the County. They do take a good amount of room <br />and I'm not sure there's enough room in that small portion of <br />right-of-way in the intersection of Hamline. <br /> <br />MR. JONAS: It looks to me as if we have the cart before <br />the horse. Before you have any commitment or plans by the County, <br />it doesn't make any sense to me to go ahead with the City project. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: From our perspective, that water is running <br />down Clarmar (inaudible) Hamline into those open facilities and <br />directly into Josephine. Whether we do anything or not, it's <br />already happening today. (Inaudible). constructing some facilities <br />to hopefully be able to cleanse that and stop it from running <br />along the road for extensive distances, picking up even more oil <br />or whatever is on the pavement, would seem to be (inaudible) <br />itself. I do appreciate your comment though. I wish we could <br />have something specific, but until we get specific easements from <br />the owners, as to what they'll allow us to do on their property, <br />and agreement from the County that they will do it, I can't tell <br />you what we're going to do because we haven't got the right to be <br />on the property today. And we can't get the right until we have <br />a project. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: Mr. Honchell, can I ask you a question? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Certainly. (Inaudible). <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: Would it be possible to build some weirs <br />in there to take the bulk of the sediments and the stuff out of <br />there, other than the nutrients that were already dissolved in <br />the water? (Inaudible) sedimentatIon, but weirs would take out <br />considerable other stuff. Do you think that that would be <br />possible? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: That's part of one of the alternatives we're <br />reviewing - to have a structure - to do that rather than an open <br />facility. But again, we assume that would happen on the east <br />side of Hamline because there's no room to do construction and <br />to have facilities of this size if it does get built. <br /> <br />MR. HERBERT JONAS: In any case, I would like you both to <br />take a look at what happened to the lake (inaudible). <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I have been there as recently as a month <br /> <br />ago. <br /> <br />7 <br />
