ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR AUGUST 23, 1999 (#4) 42518 GEORGE W. STICKNEY - MID-US PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, 250/340 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD SOUTH - Continued Luce Line Trail, eventually draining downstream through some residential properties located to the south. The stormwater management plan indicated that this culvert shall be restricted to an 18 ” drainage control structure. In order for the drainage on the property to work, it requires some grading along the Luce Line Trail. Restricting the flows from a 36 ” drainage sti licture to 18 ” would actually raise the water level located within the wetland just north of the Luce Line. The developer has agreed to do some regrading and do some filling along the horse trail to raise the horse trail above what would be the flood level in that area. Weinberger said that another issue that came up at the time of preliminary plat was responsibility regarding the maintenance and eventual construction of the new drainage structure. Mr. Stickney, as the subdivider, is responsible for the replacement of the drainage str .‘lure and the replacement of the culvert underneath the Luce Line Trail. The overall and long-term maintenance of the portion of the culvert located within the Crystal Bay Preserve and drainage structure will be handled by the homeowners association of Crystal Bay Preserve. The DNR will maintain the portion of the culvert that runs underneath the Luce Line Trail. Weinberger said that another issue was the grading on the property. The grading for the road was begun, but was stopped because the grading permit was not received from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The Watershed District discussed the application at their meeting on August 12th and it will be on their agenda for final approval on August 26th. Mr. Hafner with the Watershed District has indicated the application wilt receive a favorable recommendation from the Watershed District, but it is a condition of the plat that the City will not release the subdivision for filing until the permit has been received from the Watershed District. Kelley said he does not understand the drainage system because of the size and depth of the pond. Stickney said it is not finish graded at this point. Kellogg said the pond was designed to meet NURP standards. Jabbour asked who designed the pond. Stickney replied that Mark Gronberg, the DNR, the Watershed District and Tom Kellogg have reviewed the plans for the pond. He said it has been engineered to take care of a lot of problems downstream for years to come. Kellogg stated the purpose of the pond is to treat the drainage coming off the hardcover. Kelley said that the way the road is currently graded, the water will not drain into the pond. Page 9
