Diamond Path / 145th Street Project
On March 5, 1991, City Council held a Public Hearing to consider this
project. Following that City Council ordered the plans and specifications
for the project to be completed. We expected that this project could be
commenced early June.
Upon review of certain aspects of the project staff is prepared to
recommend.
1. That the plans and specifications for the project continue to be
completed, and
2. That this project be delayed for construction until late 1991 or
early 1992 and that bids for the project not be let until;
a. the Street Assessment Policy for the city is complete
b. the Stormwater Utility for the City be formally established
C. items 1-7 in the memo from OSM Engineering of 4-22-91 be
concluded.
The referenced memo from Bud Osmundson of OSM and the attached agenda for
the Birger Pond investigation relate the many issues that yet need to be
resolved along with the assessment policy and the Stormwater Utility.
It is unfortunate that extensiveness of the issues relating to this project
were not understood when we asked your approval in March. But we must
conclude these issues before we can proceed. To do otherwise at this time
would be foolish.
I would ask your approval to formally approve the delay of this project
until these issues are concluded and to support the project and its
construction in late 1991.

Re: City Project No. 212
Diamond Path (Dakota County Road No. 33)
OSM Comm. No. 4749.00
Dear Steve:
As per your request for a summary of issues which may inhibit the construction of this
project in the 1991 construction season, Ron Wasmund and I have put together the
following list of issues which require clarification:
1. Birger Pond Ponding Easement - At the present time, Rosemount does not have
a ponding easement over the Kelly property portion of Birger Pond. A ponding
easement will be dedicated on the U.S. Homes property portions of Birger Pond
as part of the Country Hills 4th Addition. The easement issue should be resolved
or have Kelly Ownership consent, prior to the construction of an outlet of
stormwater from 145th Street to Birger Pond.
2. Birger Pond Relationship with Apple Valley - The Apple Valley/ Rosemount
border runs through Birger Pond and coincides with the NSP power line easement.
This relationship with Apple Valley has been discussed in the past; i.e. annexation
of this area by Rosemount and/or a land swap with the City of Apple Valley for the
portion of land within the Apple Valley Municipal Golf Course, (Valleywood) which
is within the City of Rosemount. A joint powers agreement must be undertaken
to address the stormwater issues as they relate to Birger Pond. The joint powers
agreement should address any acquisition costs for the ponding easement
required at Birger Pond, and inlet and outlet concerns.
3. Birger Pond/Farquar Lake Relationship - This relationship should be addressed
within the joint powers agreement discussed above.
Presently, Farquar Lake in Apple Valley has a lift station/forcemain outlet and has
a controlled normal water elevation which is approximately 10 feet higher than
Equal Opportunity Employer

Birger Pond. Birger Pond presently is a landlocked waterbody without an outlet.
The stormwater management plan for western Rosemount states that Birger Pond
should eventually have an outlet of some type to Farquar Lake. One advantage
for Rosemount which could be discussed in the joint powers agreement, is that
Farquar Lake could be controlled with a gravity outlet to Birger Pond to keep the
normal water level of Farquar Lake at its present level. In return, there could be
a lift station installed at Birger Pond which would pump to Farquar Lake in
emergency situations and utilize the Apple Valley lift station as an outlet for
Farquar.
4. A Permanent Easement for the Diamond Path Outlet Pipe to Birger Pond - At
the present time, Mr. Kelly O'Neil has verbally agreed to a right -of -entry for the
outlet. However, a permanent easement is required. This portion of the
stormwater outlet pipe is actually in Apple Valley, and maintenance issues should
also be addressed in the joint powers agreement previously discussed.
5. Birchview Terrace Area - There is presently only 33 feet of right-of-way on the
Rosemount side of Diamond Path within the Birchview Terrace area. There is also
only 33 feet through the northern part of the Birchview Terrace along Diamond
Path which is in Apple Valley, where the proposed storm drain piping is located.
Therefore, issues concerning any additional right-of-way and/or easements
required for the storm drain pipe need to be discussed with Dakota County and
the City of Apple Valley.
6. LeForet Area - The LeForet Addition in Rosemount along Diamond Path, has an
existing 50 foot right-of-way from centerline of Diamond Path. However, there is
also a NSP easement in this area and any relationship between the installation of
pipe and this easement needs to be investigated and addressed.
7. Utility Relocation - Centel Phone Company has jurisdiction over a FAA -cable
buried along the shoulder of 145th Street and Diamond Path to Pilot Knob. Centel
(through Forest Krogh) would like more time to investigate options for the
relocation of this FAA cable. The FAA cable cannot be touched during the
construction which does present some problems without relocation. Because of
the present construction of Pilot Knob and the same FAA cable relocation in that
area, Centel would appreciate that the Diamond Path construction take place in
1992. (As an aside, Centel is intending to bury all of their lines along 145th Street
and Diamond Path.)
8. Funding - Presently, the stormwater utility has not been adopted by the City
Council. Therefore, the proposed funding is not in place for the Diamond Path
storm drain improvements. Therefore, the stormwater utility must be in place for
an undetermined amount of time to pay for the storm drain improvements on
Diamond Path.
The state aid monies available for 1991 and 1992 are approximately $300,000 for
Mr. Steve Jilk
April 22, 1991
Page 3
each year for a total of $600,000. The information that we gave you on April 5,
1991 shows that the total storm drain costs will total approximately $510,000 for
both the Diamond Path and 145th Street storm drain improvements. On 145th
Street, it is estimated that only approximately $30,000 to $50,000 of the storm drain
costs will be eligible for state aid. However, the street construction cost which at
this time is estimated at approximately $350,000 should all be eligible for state aid.
In addition, the proposed trail along 145th Street would also be eligible, which is
estimated at $19,000. Therefore, the total estimated cost which is eligible for state
aid on 145th Street will be approximately $420,000.
One aspect of the Diamond Path project which would be an impetus to construct
the project this year, is the issues revolving around the stormwater pond partially
on the Sample property. At this time, Mr. Sample has been very cooperative and
wants the proposed construction. In fact, he would appreciate the construction of
an outlet for the pond. From observation of the current pond level, temporary
pumping could be required to maintain a lower pond water elevation depending
on the weather throughout the spring and early summer of this year. At this time,
the water level in the pond is such that trees are inundated by water and could
cause permanent damage to this vegetation.
Please call me at 378-6377 with your questions and comments regarding the above
information.

BIRGER POND INVESTIGATION
DRAFT AGENDA
May 1, 1991
The following is planned to be an agenda to be undertaken to resolve the issues
regarding Birger Pond in Northwest Rosemount. Many of the items are general in nature,
while others are definite and specific. The items are implied to be in chronological order,
but some could overlap or occur simultaneously.
1. Meet with the City of Apple Valley and determine the drainage patterns surrounding
Birger Pond including the Apple Valley areas. A composite drainage map should
be formulated and used as a basis for discussion and calculations. Vermillion
River Watershed District information should be utilized if applicable.
2. Determine the relationship, if any, between Farquar Lake and Birger Pond, then
formulate a stormwater management plan for Birger Pond investigating the
following items:
2.1 Farquar Lake has a normal water level (NWL) which is approximately 10 feet
higher than the NWL of Birger Pond. Can this elevation difference between
Farquar Lake and Birger Pond be utilized in forming the relationship of the
two waterbodies?
2.2 Utilize the information obtained in the above steps to set the normal and
high water levels for Birger Pond, also taking into consideration:
♦ The elevation of the existing Birger Pond sanitary sewer lift station
(No. 5)
♦ The short term and long term impacts of the water levels on the
existing home and structures in the Birch View Terrace Addition.
The short term and long term impacts of the water levels on the
existing home and structures on the Kelly property immediately
adjacent to Birger Pond.
3. Collect the information from the Parks Department and Parks Commission
regarding their ideas for the size, recreational uses, and plans for the proposed
park in the Birger Pond area.

4. Determine the best means of acquisition of the total area needed for ponding
easements, inlet and outlet easements, and park area utilizing the following
information:
♦ Determine the available funding for the Birger Pond Park and ponding
areas.
♦ Kelly Trust Park and Ponding Dedication required, already dedicated, etc.,
within Rosemount.
♦ Kelly Trust Park and Ponding Dedication required, already dedicated, etc.,
within Apple Valley.
♦ Similar issues in regards to the U.S. Homes property in the Birger Pond
area.
5. Approach the impacted property owners with the proposed plan, negotiate and
resolve the situation with the property owners.
6. Resolve all cost sharing, land ownership, maintenance issues, etc., with Apple
Valley and formulate an agreement.
7. Enter into the agreement with Apple Valley.
8. Acquire the ponding and/or park property.
