MURRAY Attorney 222-5549 MEMORANDUM r TO: Wade Savage, Manager Rice Creek Watershed District FROM: William D. Weidenbacher E. A. Hickok and Associates DATE: October 31, 1988 SUBJECT: RCWD Permit No. 84-120: Thomas Brickner - "Creekridge" John F. and Renee M. Benedict At your request, I have researched the file on Permit No. 84-120. The following is a recap of the pertinent facts concerning the issuance of this permit and subsequent approval of revised drawings of certain features within the Creekridge plat. - September 14, 1984 - Thomas Brickner filed a permit application with the Rice Creek Watershed District for approval of a Land Development Plan for the plat of Creekridge in the City of Fridley. December 14, 1984 - The Rice Creek Watershed District issued Permit No. 84-120 for approval of an "after -the -fact" Land Development Plan for a single family residential development referred to as Creekridge, 29 lots, 9.3± acres. Exhibit "A" attached is a copy of a portion of the approved Grading Plan for Permit No. 84-120. The Grading Plan shows a general location for a ponding area and drainage easement on Lot 7, Block 1, and the legend of the Grading Plan has a note as follows: "Minimum building elevation for area contributing to pond on Lot 7, Block 1, Creekridge will be 895.2." - June 3, 1985 - Exhibit "B", a Grading Plan for the pond shown on Exhibit "A", was approved. The Grading Plan shows a top of bank around the pond at elevation 892 with 5:1 slopes sloping down to the pond bottom. In addition on this date, the outlet detail, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", was also approved. With a minimum building opening elevation of 895.2 stipulated on the approved Grading Plan, the Grading Plan for the pond as shown on Exhibit "B" would function satisfactorily. The items listed above constitute the terms agreed to by Thomas Brickner which resulted in the District approving Permit No. 84-120 and subsequent revisions thereto. The exhibits submitted by Thomas Brickner contain the basic design details that we normally require for permit approval. It is assumed that the contractor will use proper construction procedures in implementing the design. The District's position is one of approving the function of stormwater, management features and not specific design or construction details thereof. October 31, 1988 Page Two On June 1, 1988, Mr. John F. Benedict wrote a letter to the District concerning the subject detention pond which was located on the lot he purchased from Thomas Brickner, namely, Lot 7, Block 1, Creekridge. Attached to Mr. Benedict's letter was a sketch of the proposed detention pond that had been submitted to us on October 23, 1984. The revised pond sketch which we have attached as Exhibit "B" was submitted to us on April 3, 1985 and subsequently approved as the Revised Grading Plan for the ponding area on June 3, 1985. Whoever had provided Mr. Benedict with a drawing of the ponding area did not provide him with the drawing that was current at the time he purchased his lot from Mr. Brickner on June 6, 1985. The purpose of the pond is to provide retention and treatment for storwater runoff for 2 acres of land adjacent to 66th Avenue N.E. and a smaller parcel of land adjacent to Arthur Street N.E. The stormwater entering the pond will enter through a catchbasin installed in the curb of Arthur Street. Thomas Brickner has not complied with the terms and conditions of Permit No. 84-120 in that the retention and treatment pond has not been completed to date. It is recommended that the Board of Managers take any actions they feel prudent and reasonable in requiring Mr. Brickner to comply with the terms of the Permit No. 84-120 which will require completion of the pond in accordance with the attached Exhibits "A", "B", and "C". Mr. Brickner was not required to post a cash surety with the District guaranteeing compliance with the conditions of the permit. In 1984, the District did not have a standard policy of requiring cash sureties. PAUL McCARRON Anoka County Commissioner District B6 - Fridley Spring Lake Park Ms. Renee M. Benedict 1499 - 66th Avenue N.E. Fridley, MN 55432 Dear Ms. Benedict: COUNTY OF ANOKA Office of the County Board of Commissioners COURTHOUSE ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 612-421-4760 September 19, 1991 Thanks very much for informing me regarding the problems surrounding the detention pond on your property. While Anoka County is not involved in this situation, on your behalf I have contacted the City of Fridley to acquire some up-to-date information for you. City of Fridley officials say that the City Is sensitive to your problems. The matter had been referred to the entire City Council, which then had a lengthy discussion on it. I am told that there are issues currently being faced by the City which are broader than your problem alone. In other words, the way that your situation is addressed would effect the way the City handles other storm drainage issues and the amount of financial responsibility accepted for these separate issues regarding storm drainage. The City is also attempting to assess exactly where the responsibility lies in relation to your property -- among the Rice Creek Watershed District, the Developer, and the City itself. Meanwhile, City staff has been instructed to respond to a number of questions from City Council and to come back for a second discussion on your problems, more than likely at its next meeting. The City apparently wants to work toward a just solution of your property's problems, but is said to be concerned about the protection of the City taxpayers as a whole from any unjustified expense, particularly as related to other storm drainage issues.

September 19, 1991 Page 2 I hope that all this information is helpful to you. You requested to see the plans and I have made arrangements for you to do so through the City. You may contact City Public Works Director, John Flora at 571-3450; he has the playa, which is a sketch, filed by the Builder in 1985 and which may have been approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. He also has a sketch composed earlier this year of the existing detention pond on your property. Good luck in reaching a satisfactory solution to the problems on your property.

Flora, YPublic Works Director DATE: September 12, 1991 SUBJECT: Benedict Pond Issue We have reviewed same of the files and accumulated the following information regarding the sequence of events that have led to the Benedict Pond issue on Arthur Avenue. Enclosure No. 1 is a copy of the minutes dealing with the final approval of the plat. Incorporated in the plat were the requirements for storm water detention facilities to be included for the old Rice Creek School property. Enclosure No. 2 is a Rice Creek Watershed District letter which addresses the storm water detention facilities for the Creek Ridge plat. Item No. 1 in that letter specifically addresses the area that the Benedict Pond deals with. It should be noted that the design of this pond is to treat for a one-year storm runoff and control the flow to a 100 year event. Enclosure No. 3 is the final approval of the Creek Ridge Plat Storm Water Plan. Enclosure No. 4 provides information frcm JM that they had previously submitted regarding the Benedict Pond based upon a request from the Benedicts. The original design was approved by the Rice Creek Managers on December 14, 1984, and called for a break in the curb for the water to enter the detention pond and the extension of the pond berm to the home. in reviewing the plans, it was Proposed to construct a concrete spillway from the curb into the pond. This spillway was then modified to incorporate a pipe into the pond with an elbow and a concrete valley gutter to the exit pipe. This is what was ultimately constructed. Enclosure No. 5 are photographs illustrating the spillway that was originally Proposed then the catch basin which was installed with the pipe and it illustrates that a weir was present at the outlet end of the pond. The last enclosure illustrates the proposed improvement that Mark discussed with the Benedicts. This incorporates a berm along their property edge with a pipe outlet through the berm over the bank to serve any overflow of the pond into the back of the house property. If you desire any additional information regarding this issue, please let me know. '= JGF/ts ERIMDCa 2. 3. for the land for the park. Mr. eshi stated the City wishes to acquire the land in the Gena e Addit n for park purposes, however, both Mr. Brickner and Mr. Bl rg could velop without a road through the park. He stated the City s the park and oad in order to provide recreational facilities for resi nts in the area. Mr. Ren Moxne� 1604 66th Avenue, questioned if any soil f r ethe back of Bacon Electric the garage on Old Central would be used i 'the park. He stated, if this ii,,done, he felt it should be tested for tamination. Mayor Nee stated no No other persons in the from these businesses would be moved to the park.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee dec ed the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:10 rp.m. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this rezoning is associated with the Hidden Woods plat and the request is to rezone anypparts of lots 6 and 7 from C-2 and R-2 to R-1. Mr. Flora stated this rezoning was before the Planning Commission and they have recommended approval of the request. t` m peLsgns in the audience spoke regarding this rezoning request MOTIU by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Sec\A ed by ;'ettion lman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee dec red carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:12 p.m. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated the plat, Creekridge, proposed by Mr. Brickner calls for an outlot to be designated for property on the north side of Rice Creek. He stated the plat would extend 66th Avenue from the existing deadend through the Rice Creek School property to Arthur and 3 - construction of another street, Creek Park Lane from Arthur to Old Central. Mr. Flora stated a 15 foot access easement is requested on the west boundary of the plat to allow neighborhood access to the park area. Mr. Brickner, the developer, stated he felt the access easement should be moved to the west between two lots that his son owns. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the easement proposed by Mr. Brickner would be more centrdlly located to the park. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Brickner if he felt it was feasible to proceed with the development after reviewing the figures on the cost of the improvements. Mr. Brickner stated he felt the bids received do make it more feasible than the original estimates given for these improvements. Mr. Joe Menth, 1388 66th Avenue, questioned where the power lines would be located for this plat. Mr. Flora stated Northern States Power would be providing underground service for the development, but overhead service would continue for the existing homes. Mr. Menth asked if existing power lines would be placed underground. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the residents would have the option to leave the lines as is or else to have them placed underground if they wish to pay tt'ie Cost. Mr. Menth questioned where the power lines would be moved. Mr. Flora stated he felt they would probably stay, basically, where they are now located. Mr. Menth stated at the public hearing there was discussion about postponing the assessment until such time as each lot was split. . Qureshi stated if it is the Council's desire to postpone the assessment til such time as a lot is split, they could so direct staff so the sessment roll is prepared accordingly. tKen moxness, 1604 66th Avenue, asked if it would be possible to obtain easement to the creek. Mr. Qureshi stated 66th Avenue goes to Arthur Street and Arthur Street has access to the creek. �} MMON by Councilman Schneider to approve the preliminary final plat, PS i84-01 with the following stipulations: (1) Outlot A be dedicated for. public use; (2) a $1,500 park fee per lot for 29 lots be paid; and (3) an access easement from 66th Avenue be provided to the future park in the Gena Rae Addition and the location of this easement is to be worked out with the City staff. Seconded by Councilman Bamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gottwaldt, 6429 Baker Avenue, asked when the issue of the park in the -4- L Gena Rae Addition would be on the agenda. Councilman Schneider stated the point the City is at now regarding acquisition of the property in the Gena Rae Addition came about during discussions at the Planning Commission meeting. He stated he believed representatives of the owners of the property were present at the Planning Commission meeting and indicated they would be willing to sell the property if it was used for public purposes and not for residential developnent. Mr. Qureshi stated the City has had a number of negotiations regarding acquisition of this property. He stated the City felt as the owners are willing to sell, the best method to establish the value of the property is through a non -bias third party and the owner's attorney was so advised. Mayor Nee told Mr. Gottwaldt he understood his mother didn't want to sell the property for housing, but wanted it developed for park purposes. Mr. Martin Johnson, 1381 Mississippi Street, stated the City never did negotiate or come back with a counter offer yet they are surveying and driving stakes into the property. He felt there has been no negotiation in good faith on the part of the City. He felt a lot was being taken for granted to proceed in this manner when the property is not owned by the City, and several asked why a park was needed on that property. Councilman Schneider stated Rice Creek School was the only recreational facility in this neighborhood and when the school disappears, he felt something has to replace these facilities to satisfy the recreational needs of the neighborhood residents. Councilman Schneider stated he felt it would be irresponsible to have housing on every lot and not be able to meet the recreational needs for the neighborhood now and in the future. He stated, as far as the developers, they would just as soon not see a park, but felt it is part of his responsiblity to provide such an area for the residents. Mr. Martin Johnson stated he only hopes his father and the Gottwaldt's get a decent price for this land as they have contributed to the community for many years.

Benedict I At your request, I have researched the file on Permit No. 84-120. The following is a recap of the pertinent facts concerning the issuance of this permit and subsequent approval of revised drawings of certain features within the Creekridge plat. September 14, 1984 - Thomas Brickner filed a permit application with the Rice Creek Watershed District for approval of a Land Development Plan for the plat of Creekridge in the City of Fridley. December 14, 1984 - The Rice Creek Watershed District issued Permit No. 84-120 for approval of an "after -the -fact" Land Cevelop�ment Plan for a single family residential development referred to as Creekridge, 29 lots, 9.3+ acres.

June 3, 1985 - Exhibit "B", a Grading Plan for the pond shown on Exhibit "A", was approved. The Grading Plan shows a top of bank arouna the pond at elevation 892 with 5:1 slopes sloping down to the pond bottom. In addition on this date, the outlet detail, attached hereto as Exhibit "C", was also approved. With a minimum building opening elevation of 895.2 stipulated on the approved Grading Plan, the Grading Plan for the pond as shown on Exhibit "B" would function satisfactorily.

Attached to Mr. Benedict's letter was a sketch of the proposed detention pond that had been submitted to us on October 23, 1984. The revised.pond sketch which we have attached as Exhibit "B" was submitted to us on April 3, 1985 and subsequently approved as the Revised Grading Plan for the ponding area on June 3, 1985. Whoever had provided Mr. Benedict with a drawing of the ponding area did not provide him with the drawing that was current at the time he purchased his lot from Mr. Brickner on June 6, 1985. The purpose of the pond is to provide retention and treatment for storwater runoff for 2 acres of land adjacent to 66th Avenue N.E. and a smaller parcel of land adjacent to Arthur Street N.E.

Flora,�Public Works Director PW91-321 FROM: Mark A. Winson, Asst. Public Works Director DATE: October 25, 1991 SUBJECT: Detention Pond at 1499 66th Avenue (Benedict) The Rice Creek Watershed District approved an overall grading plan for Creekridge Subdivision in December, 1984. The grading plan stipulated that the minimum building opening elevation at 1499 66th Avenue be 895.2. On June 3, 1985, the Rice Creek Watershed District approved the attached grading plan for the detention pond, labeled Exhibit "B", and the outlet details, labeled Exhibit "C". A building permit was issued for the construction of the present home on November 19, 1986 and a final inspection was conducted on December 10, 1987. Our survey of the property indicates the residence was constructed with a minimum building opening at 889.02 or 6.18 feet lower than originally stipulated on the grading plan. I would surmise that this necessitated a change in the construction of the detention pond. The pond was constructed with a spillway, as shown on the approved plan, but in 1988, a catch basin and pipe were installed to replace the spillway. Additionally, a concrete swale was installed to prevent erosion and standing water. The pond was resodded by Mr. Brickner in 1989. A complete set of calculations has not been found in the records of the City or Rice Creek Watershed District for the design of this pond, so I have run my own rough analysis. The original pond was designed to detain the 11100 year" storm and have a release rate equivalent to the 112 year" storm. This release rate was to be regulated by a restriction device to be placed on the 12 inch outlet pipe. The original pond design appears to have been adequately sized and if the pond should overtop, the water would go over the banks to Rice Creek before flooding a home with a minimum building opening elevation of 895.2. AffWW CTFYOF FNDLIY r � + John G. Flora October 25, 1991 Page 2 When the home was constructed with a walkout and a building opening lower than that stipulated on the grading plan, it became impossible to provide a detention that would meet the original criteria. In order to provide some detention of larger storms and treatment of smaller, more frequent storm flows, a weir was constructed, but the restriction device was not installed. This allowed water to be released at a faster rate which reduces the volume needed in the pond. Based on my analysis, the current pond functions for a 100 year, 24 hour storm in that the pond should not overtop its banks. Should the volume of water become greater than the capacity of the pond, the water will overtop the pond and flow over the bank of Rice Creek before flooding the home. To complete the design, a weir should be installed at the pond outlet to allow for treatment of storm events. During the storm of May 28, 1991 apparently storm water in Arthur Street overtopped the curb, ran across the drainage easement, and eroded a portion of the Rice Creek bank. The storm water overtopped the curb for apparently one or two reasons. During a ten minute period on the morning of May 28, approximately 1 inch of rain fell, this is equivalent to the intensity of a 1120 year" storm. (Catch basins and storm sewer pipe systems are generally designed to handle flows from 5 or 10 year storms). Also, apparently there was a piece of concrete in the catch basin pipe that may have restricted the flow through the pipe. It should be noted that the water that overtopped the curb eroded the bank of Rice Creek which prevented the water from flooding the home. The grading appears to be correctly designed to provide a safety valve. As I have previously recommended, the eroded part of the bank should be rebuilt with the installation of a 4 inch PVC pipe to provide a drainage outlet for the small portion of the yard that drains to this location. The berm should be built to an elevation not above 889 to provide a safety valve. MAW: ch A 01 'U 4 V O I o V V ,4 '\ V "u ill h 14h �q HNx am. I �� N N os1 4 a ► �.

Winson, Ass't Public Works Director &*-- DATE: May 22, 1992 SUBJECT: Benedict Detention Pond On the morning of May 22, Mrs. Benedict of 1499 66th Avenue called regarding a hole that had started to erode off the concrete swill in the pond adjacent to her home. I told Mrs. Benedict that I would make an effort to take a look at it, especially since she was concerned about potentially heavy rains over the Memorial Day weekend. Approximately 2:00 pm on the afternoon of May 22 1 did visit the site and found a hole approximately 1 foot in diameter directly adjacent to the concrete swill. It was evident that there was some undermining in the area. I took a couple of photos of the eroded area. I then met with Paul Lawrence and Jim Brindley at the site, at which time it was raining heavily and a large amount of water was running down the hole. It was decided to obtain some clay material and immediately fill the hole in order to prevent greater erosion which could eventually pipe out into the bank of Rice Creek. The sewer crews got on the job immediately to plug the hole. MAW: cz ri C'N" FWD Engineering Sewer Water Parks Streets Mainit n ;e TO: John G.

As .we approach the 1992 construction season, I would like to suggest that we try to resolve the wash-out problem you experienced on your property last year. I Mark Winson, Assistant Public Works Director, has prepared a drawing and brief description of the work that he feels will help alleviate the potential for future wash- out problems in your yard. Essentially, Mr. Winson would like to fill the washed o.ut .area ;with clay and topsoil..,He.would.also:install a.4; inch PVC. drain, pipe. and rip rap in the eroded area of the down-slope. He feels that this can be done for an amount not to exceed $1,000. I would like to suggest that you hire a contractor to do the work as proposed by Mr. Winson. The City would offer to reimburse up to the amount of $1,000 for any expenses associated with the described work. Additionally, we would use City resources to place a weir in the discharge pipe from the existing detention pond located on your property. A copy of the design of the weir is enclosed. . In proposing the above -solutions. I art: not -assuming that they represent the ultimate"_ sblution. I also feel that awhile the proposed project may be less than the ultimate solution, it will help to stabilize the area that has been washed out during past storms.

As a result, the City proposes to accomplish the following action adjacent to your property as a corrective measure. If you have any concerns or questions regarding this proposal, please contact me at 572-3550 so that we may answer any of your concerns and schedule the appropriate work. We propose to repair the washout and create a berm within the existing drainage utility easement. This berm will raise the containment wall around the detention pond, creating a larger ponding volume than was originally built. Any water which will overflow the curb should be retained within this enlarged impondment. We also propose to provide fill material to cover the existing washout over your yard drainage outlet.

Burns, City Manager PW97-202 FROM: Jon H. HaukAssistant Director Public Works John G. Flora, Director Public Works DATE: July 23, 1997 SUBJECT: Storm Water Drainage Corrections This is a follow up memo to our July 8,1997 memo regarding storm water drainage problems. We have investigated each incident further and come up with workable solutions and associated costs. Unless noted, all labor costs will be absorbed and materials including sod are in inventory or bought through the maintenance and repair budget. Attached are drainage area maps for each site. 7130 Riverview Terrace The solid lid on a storm sewer manhole at the low point of the street will be replaced with a grate lid to allow water to be taken in to the system at a greater rate and reduce ponding in the street. We have the grate lid in inventory so no additional costs will be incurred. 6390 7h Street We will create an overflow swale from the street to the pond along the north property line within our 20 ft wide Drainage and Utility Easement. This will control the path of water when the storm sewers are full and minimize any property damage. Cost involved is approximately $100.00 for sod. 6290 Van Buren Street The existing curb and gutter flow past the driveway to the south. A significant rain will fill the gutter and overflow onto the driveway. We will ramp the entrance to the driveway up to a height equal with a normal curb (6") and taper it back down to the garage, holding runoff in the street. Cost for the bituminous will be absorbed in our pothole patching budget. 6090 Woody Lane Mr. Utter of 6084 has agreed to give the City a 10 ft wide Drainage and Utility Easement along his northerly property line. We propose to install an additional storm sewer line to increase the capacity serving the Woody Lane and Hillcrest Drive area. This would be necessary in the future should that area receive concrete curb and gutter. This is a significant project and would require hiring an outside contractor. Estimate this project to cost less than $12,000 not including retaining wall costs. 5928 Woody Lane The storm water piping system at the end of the cul-de-sac is adequate to handle the runoff for the area. However, the inlet capacity of existing catch basin grates cannot take in water fast enough to prevent ponding. We proposed to add an additional catch basin on the east side of the cul- de-sac and connect it to the storm sewer system reducing the amount of ponding and allowing water to enter to system at a much faster rate. Labor will be done and absorbed in-house and materials are in inventory or can be purchased with storm water funds. 1499 Arthur Street The washout on this property was the result of water overflowing the curb and not being retained to drain off site through existing storm sewers. Currently.one of the street catch basins outlets onto the surface into a pond that was created. From there it runs down a concrete spillway and back into the storm sewer system. This arrangement allows water on the property to drain into pipes rather than directly over the bank causing erosion. We propose to repair the washout and create a berm within the existing Drainage and Utility Easement. This berm will close off the area around the daylighted storm pipes and create a larger detention pond than was originally built. Ponding in the street which overflows the curb will flow into this pond rather than threatening the house. Labor will be absorbed, fill material is available from our stockpiles and sod will only cost approximately $100.00. 1280-1298 52'd Avenue A 100' long slotted drain was installed behind these houses as part of the Clover Pond/52"d Avenue Floodway Project. During extreme storms such as we had at in early July, this drain cannot take water in fast enough to prevent ponding. The land on the Columbia Heights side is higher and therefore all ponding is in these two yards. We propose to "jack" a pipe from this area 200' to the west to create an overflow to release ponded water before it threatens these homes. Jacking pipe involves pushing the pipe through the ground from one end so that the surface is not disturbed as by trenching. This project would require hiring a contractor. We estimate the cost for such a project to be approximately $80 per lineal foot, totaling $16,000. The cost for yard restoration where this equipment was moved on to the site and set up would be additional. 569 Rice Creek Terrace Back pressure in the pipe at its outlet into the creek behind 569 Rice Creek Terrace causes this system to surcharge in the street and so threatening other properties and travel along the street. We propose to install a special lid on the downstream manhole to act as a pressure release valve. Riprap and landscaping around the manhole would act as an energy dissipater to prevent erosion as the water flows back into the creek. This can be accomplished with in house forces and storm water funds. rsio W ; O ir �> 1p -p _ o I 68TH... — AVE r W C Y a U i c v t i Q Y 2 LL V F � L I.T�EET t DAN.'C"UR4 � ,S 124~ c: - i O'• l - N r r July 8, 1997 Page 2 6090 Woody Lane This property experienced a considerable amount of erosion at the wall as a result of the water overflowing the rear retaining Here there is a possibility of working with the abutting property the yard and through owner and installing an overflow pipe across the water to the lower property.

JGF:cz City of Fridley TO: William W. Burns, City Manager FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director DATE: July 8, 1997 SUBJECT: Storm Water Drainage Problems PW97-190 As a result of the July 1 & 2 storm, we identified nine properties within the City that experienced considerable erosion or property damage as a result of storm water runoff. The following is a list of those properties and a thought on some actions we propose to follow up on at the various locations. 7130 Riverview Terrace This property received an extreme amount of water flooding the yard and eroding the fill along the driveway. It is proposed to have the property owner replace his retaining wall along the driveway with a 4-1 slope fill and then the City could run a drain pipe from the low area adjacent to the driveway into the rear of the catch basin on Riverview Terrace. 6390 7th Street This property is experiencing a considerable amount of erosion on either side of the home at the rear of the lot as a result of flooding on 7th Street. We are looking at berming the boulevard along 7th Street in an attempt to retain the water in the right-of-way. There will probably be a problem with water entering the driveway and flowing into the structure. A survey will determine what impact this could have on the property. 6290 Van Buren Street This property experienced flooding along the rear of the building and the lot. There are no catch basins in this area and all the water drains down the driveway onto the property. A possible solution is repaving of the driveway to cause a rise from the street in an attempt to retain the water on the street. As this is the lowest point, there will still be a continual overflow across the property as there is no outlet. 12/,28/1998 08:49 651-766-4196 RICE CREEK W DIST PAGE 01 Rice Creek Watershed 3585 LEXINGTON AVENUE NORTH, SUITE 330 NEW ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA 55126.6056 ��'1 PHONE (612) 483-0634 - FAX (612) 483.9186 J December 28, 1998 Property Owner 1499 66m Ave Fridley, MN 55421 Property Owner: drowrllfl l &I - Board of Mogera Regular Mvvings: 2nd and 41h Wednesdays at Shorevh-W 011Y HMI KATE DREWRY.

This activity, because it is within 300 ft of the creek, does require a RCWD permit. I have enclosed a permit application. My main concern is the steep bank where the vegetation appears to have been removed.
