PUBLIC HEARING
A. EXTENSION OF STORM SEWER IN PEABODY ROAD
The City Manager explained that this is an .additional small piece of
storm sewer that was left out of the original County Road 110 Project.
The owners of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, .Sherwood Shores have petitionCd to
have the existing storm sewer extended because a great deal of erosion
has taken place at the rear of their lots and the resulting sediment
flowing into the channel is causing it to silt up.
The Mayor asked the Engineer why Lots 3 and 4, Block 1, Sherwood Shores
were not included in the assessment? The Engineer explained that they are
not included in the drainage area becasue they don't contribute any water
into the existing storm sewer. Their lots drain directly into the channel.
The Mayor then opened the public hearing.
Wayne Skibicki was present (owner of Lot 2) and asked several questions.
He stated he was glad to see that something might be done to keep his
lot from eroding away.
Kenneth Swanson was present and asked why everyone in the County Road 110
Project was paying for this? The Engineer explained that this should have
been done by the County when the 110 Project was done, but it was over-
looked. He went on further to explain that so far the 110 Project is
below estimate so adding this small extension of the storm sewer will
have little affect on the total cost.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.

RESOLUTION #82-219 RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF
PLANS AND SOLICITATION OF QUOTATIONS ON THE
EXTENSION OF STORM SEWER - PEA BODY ROAD
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
B. STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS IN EAGLE LANE BETWEEN WOODLAND ROAD AND JENNINGS
ROAD
The City Manager explained that the owner of Lots 4, 5 and z of 3, Black.
10, Wood}and Point has petitioned th.e City to get the water off these
lots so he can mke it a buildable site.
The City Engineer stated that Eagle Lane was improved i.n 1975 and only
the minimum storm sewers were constructed to save costs, since only a
few scattered streets were included in the project and it was not possible
to provide areawide storm sewers.. He went on to say that they,
the engineers, do not feel that the City of Mound should hear the full
cost of improving the drainage through. this area. since this has always
been a natural drainage way and the property owners will receive
substantial financial benefits by obtaining some buildable lots.
Traditionally, this type of work. is done by the property owners them-
selves.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Six property owners that would be affected by this assessment voiced
strong opposition to the storm sewer improvement because it would only
benefit the owner of Lots 4, 5, and z of 3.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Polston moved and Swenson seconded a motion not to proceed with this
project unless the petitioner wants to pay for the entire project.
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried,'

Lynn and Shelly explained what they perceive as the parks shortcomings in
relation to the community needs. They are:
1. There will only be 7 trees left in the park after the diseased
trees are removed.
2. Depot should be more of a focal point.
3. Beach is very small for ;the amount it is used.
4. Boat access is too close to the beach area.
5. Tot lot is too close to County Road 110.
They then explained their design plan for the park.
1. .Plantings in the parking area (islands) do soften the look of
the asphalt.
2. Picnic areas defined by trees.
3. Renovation of the Depot - another deck on the lakeside and the other
end of the building.
4. Moving the beach area closer to the Depot and away from the
boat access-and enlarging the beach area.
5• Having one or two areas to moor boats:
A. one near the boat access
B. one on the other side of the beach area near the Depot
6. New play equipment on the tot lot and moving the tot lot closer
to the beach area and away from County Road 110.
7. One area left open and defined with trees around it.

concept and to begin implementation and solicit quotations for the various
items that can be done immediately. The vote was 4 in favor With Mayor

did not allow for immediate use of the park and because it did not include
sun shelters. Motion carried.
