B. PROJECT NO. 718 - TIMBER CREEK
Manager Willis explained this public hearing and the
following public hearing on removal of diseased trees
were being held because of improper notification given
to the propert; owners when the original public hearings
were held on October 2, 1978.
Mayor Hunt opened the public hearing at 8:00 p.m.
Jamas E. _SRe_c_k_mann, a e:torney for Tnomas Harty, claimed
Mr. Hart did not receive notice of this public hearing.
He opposed the assessment because he claimed Pilgrim Lane
was of no benefit to his client's property since the parcel
had access from East Medicine Lake Boulevard. He claimed
the sole benefit of the project was for the homeowners in
the Timber Creek Addit.in. He further stated the improve-
ment was on the bacK portion of the parcel and did not add
to the market value of the property. He stated Mr. Harty
purchased the grope ty in March, 19?8.
rouncilmember Seibold asked if W. Har;y was aware that
the original owner of the property was one of the peti-
tioners for the improvement project.
Mr. Specs%mann replied Mr. Harty was aware of the pending
assessment on the property at the time of purchase, but
not that t4 original owner had petitioned for the im-
provement..

given for the trail dedication, by converting the acres to dwelling
units at the approved density, and multiplying by $275 per dwelling
unit,

35 percent maximum site coverage and setback regtjirements. He
then reviewed the Engineer's memorandum regarding fire lanes and
water requirements for firefighting. He stated the site is very
densely developed, proposed parking layout requires a deferment

Motion carried on a Roll Call %,ote, four ayes.
Louis Florek, 1215 Peony Lane, recommended dredging the Middle
Pond of the Pinetree Pond System to insure that it would be a
permanent pond and maintain a minimum depth of normal water
level of four foot.
C. W. Kleinsteuber, 1225 Peony Lane, claimed the Middle Pond
has 6een destroyed by the Pinetree Pond storm sewer and his
property has been devalued. He suggested putting in a larger
culvert back two feet rather than dredging the pond.
Engineer Olson replied the water level of the Dond has been
dropped so that water• can move through the pond system. The
level is kept at one and one-half foot to provide water storage.
Council discussed the possibility of constructing a control
structure to regulate the water level of the Middle Pond.
Engineer Olson replied the structure could be guilt, but
its maintenance would be difficult acid would depend on someone
being available 24 hours a day in case of rain. Mayor Hunt
inquired if the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has approved
the prnposal fo: dredging. Engineer Moore replied they have not
approved the dredging, but only asked the Council to consider
the proposal. Council discussed means of disposing of the much
from a dredging operation. Engineer Olson stated we would have
to show some environmental benefits to obtain a permit to dredge
from D'4R.

gegular Council Meeting

Page 81
John Morr'.s, 18135 - 13th Avenue North, stated since the pond
has been Trained, the marsh has dried up and there is much less
wildlife in the area. He stated he bought his property for the
Fond and since the storm sewer project drained the pond, he felt
the pond should be dredged and restored by the City without cost
to the residents.
Mayor Hunt questioned the Engineer about possible percolation
problems resulting from the dredging, and asked how long it would
take to reestablish the vegetation after dredging. Engineer
Olson replied they did not run into percolation problems when
the improvement project was undertaken. He further stated the
vegetation would come back in approximately three to four years,
but if the pond is dredged over four feet, the vegetation will
not come back and it will result in a pool rather than a marsh.
He stated the muck would have to be placed on higher ground above
flood level or trucked away.
Dale Sheets, 11930 - 12th Avenue, suggested if a 20 foot channel
Wa'sTre g -ea at the other end of the culvert and a dike installed,
he felt it would restore the pond anti marsh. He stated the
residue from the channel was put onto his, property when it was
originally dredged and has remained without any slippage back
into tha pond. If the pond was dredged, he would be willing
to take more residue onto his property.
Engineer Olson stated if the Middle Pond was to be dredged,
some sort of collar or check dam wojld be placed in between
the ponds to prevent seepage. Councilmember Seibold asked
if a valve on the culvert should be ruled out. Engineer Olson
replied he would not suggest any kind of manually -controlled
valve that must be maintained since it would require attention
every time it rained.
Ralph Goodwin, 1430 Ranier, stated he found the water level in
t e Middle Pond and the northern pond to be essentially the same.
When the Middle Pond is dry, it is because the upper pond is
lower. If the Middle Pond is dredged four feet, it will solve
the problem without any valve at the culvert.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Spaeth, seconded by Council -
member Hoyt, to direct staff to work with DNR and Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District towards resolving this problem by dredginq the
Middle Pond, and to attempt to obtain assistance in financing from
