SPECIAL NEE
AUGUST 11, 1981
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, August 11, 1987,
at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with all members present.
Mayor Knutson opened the public hearing scheduled for 8:00 p.m. explaining
the purpose of the hearing is to consider and receive comments on City
Project No. 176, Hawkins Pond Drainage Improvements.
The Administrator/Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Publication and
Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1987-18.
City Engineer Rich Hefti informed those present that because of recent and
future development in Section 30 and the construction of Shannon Parkway, it
is necessary and time to consider drainage improvements.
Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell advised the project is essentially the
same as initially considered five and one-half years ago. Campbell reviewed
the proposed improvements which would include enlargement of the Hawkins
Pond area, significant amount of grading around the pond, excavation of the
area and storm sewer construction from the pond to transport runoff from
the Shannon Parkway storm sewer system.
Steve Campbell outlined the assessment area advising that all properties
within the assessment area could potentially drain into Hawkins Pond.
City Engineer Rich Hefti provided the total estimated cost for the project,
the total estimated amount to be assessed, the estimated assessment unit
rate and the estimated number of units in the assessment district.
Mayor Knutson asked for questions and comments from those in the audience.
Several residents voiced opposition to the project stating they felt the
existing storm sewer drainage districts are adequate and felt developers and
future property owners should be responsible for the proposed drainage
project. It was also the general concensus of the residents present at the
hearing that the proposed assessment district, based on their opinion that
the current holding ponds are adequate for runoff, is incorrect. Residents
also commented that benefit is minimal or nonexistent. A representative for
the First Baptist Church requested that the city allow the church time to
evaluate the proposed drainage project and have the opportunity to opt out.
The representative for the church also noted the elevation of a portion of
the church property is lower than the elevation of Hawkins Pond.
MOTION by Willard to close the public hearing. Second by Napper. Ayes: 5.
Nays: 0.
Several Councilmembers expressed concern regarding the proposed assessment
boundary.
City Engineer Rich Hefti stated that his recommendation is based upon the
fact that ultimately there is potential for drainage problems, and it is
most reasonable that eventually drainage of the entire area would have to go
to Hawkins Pond. Mayor Knutson supported the city engineer's recommendation
stated that it is important to establish a storm water drainage district now
to accommodate future and present growth.
