PROJECT 14319 STORM SFWFR TRn:K, BURR OAK POND A'D EAGANDALF CENTER INDUS-RIAL PARK At 7:10 p.m. the Mayor convened the public hearing concerning proposed storm sewer trunk improvements in Section 12 for the area of Burr Oak Pond and Eagandale Center Industrial Park No. 3 Pond under Improvement Project #319. It was noted that on September 16, 1980, the City Council, during its consideration of a public hearing for Improvement Project #182R, Trunk Highway #55 storm sewer, ordered a feasibility report for the improvements for Project #319. A large number of affected property owners were present at the hearing. The City Engineer reviewed the report in detail and there were concerns primarily amongst property owners around Burr Oak Pond concerning infiltration with damage to swimming, etc. There were concerns about erosion control due to the storms around Burr Oak Pond. Mr. Rosene stated that the erosion will be corrected and also explained that most of the water in Burr Oak Pond is surface water and water will flow through the pond, therefore reducing its potential stagnation impact. There is no commitment from Inver Grove Heights to contribute towards the storm sewer improvements and Eagan cannot require their participation. There would be no increase in the assessments even if the Inver Grove Heights owners contributed. There were questions about whether the parcel located in the Northwest quarter of Section 12 will be assessed and there were concerns in the audience as to justification of including property 00284 Council Minutes November 18, 1980 Page Four owners north of a geographic ridge north of Trunk Highway !53 and south of Lone Oak Road. Mr. Rosene stated that this area does drain into the Highway 1155 storm sewer area district. The level of Burr Oak Pond was discussed and the City Engineer stated the level must be reduced to accomodate park land use and prevent flooding. There was concern about contaminates from Trunk Highway 1155 infiltrating the pond and damaging wildlife, etc. It was noted that the hold:noo ponds would act as settle- ment ponds, therefore only excess water will be pumped into Burr Oak Pond. Mr. Hedges stated that the shoreline of the pond will be cleaned by the Park Department after completion of construction. There was discussion concerning assessment and the Council reviewed the feasibility report in detail. Mr. Rosene recommended a 16-inch force main rather than a 42-inch gravity pipe west of 1.49 because of the uncer_ainty of location or need. Smith --ved, Wachter seconded the motion to close the hearing at 7:35 p.m. After further discussion, Smith moved and Wachter seconded-the motion to order in Project 1f319 as presented and to direct the City Engineer to prepare the plans and specifications for the project. He stated that area had many problems in the past, the Council has attempted to do it in the least costly fashion, there is benefit to the property owners in the area because greater development has caused the lakes to increase in height, some residents and buildings have been endangered by high water and there is anticipated future increases in water level; that the Assessment Committee can review any potential issues regarding assessments. All members voted in favor.
