Preoaration of Reoort. Knollwood Pond Imorovements. Proiect 00-14.
Overview.
Since early last year, staff and our consultant, Barr Engineering, have been working
with Knollwood neighborhood representatives to work out details on scope and funding
of improvements to the Knollwood storm sewer detention pond. Final agreement was
reached and approved by residents who attended a November 29, 2000 neighborhood
meeting. The proposed improvements include pond bank erosion control, new sodding
and native plantings around the entire pond perimeter and new rip-rap installation at the
storm sewer inlets. Knollwood neighborhood Association has prepared a petition
requesting improvements be assessed equally to all Knollwood neighborhood property
owners pursuant MN Statutes, Chapter 429. The petition is signed by 38 property
owners, or 73% of the 52 residents. Staff requests City Council accept the petition and
order preparation of a feasibility report.

Analvsis of Issues
Public purpose of proposed improvements
The proposed improvements will have a dual purpose, i.e., they will improve the
aesthetics and the function of the pond. The pond receives runoff from approximately
22 acres of the neighborhood area, including street runoff. The improvements will
improve bank stability which will help improve water quality, protect the adjacent public
streets and deter geese from using the area. All of these benefits have a public
purpose in reducing future maintenance and repair of the pond and adjacent roads.
. Project funding and schedule
Proiect fundina: The proposed project cost is $75,000. This includes estimated
engineering fees of $15,000 and a $60,000 estimated construction cost. To-date the
city has paid $8, 124 in engineering fees. Staff proposed to the neighborhood a 70/30
cost sharing with the city paying 30% of the project costs. City costs have been
included in the 2001 storm sewer budget.
