issues presented during the Public Forum.
OAR FOSSE (3465 Bay Knolls Drive): Discussed the holding and drainage pond, noting that with the development of the
Glynwater Addition, is not functioning properly at this time. Concerned with the addition of the regional trail through the
wetland area. Would like to see the area maintained as an undisturbed wetland.
OSMUNDSON: Confirmed that Dar Fosse had been meeting with the staff working on this item, and the intent is that the
wetland be improved since it was not designed well initially. The plan is to achieve both the improvement of the wetland,
and the construction of the trail.
BOYLES: Asked if the stormwater ponds required periodic maintenance.
OSMUNDSON: Confirmed, and advised that this type of maintenance is necessary for all stormwater ponds, particularly in
developing areas. The pond is targeted for this maintenance during this construction season.
HAUGEN: Asked if the design of the trail will be detrimental to the wetland area.
OSMUNDSON: Advised that the intent is to install the trail over the sewer pipe because some maintenance will be required for
both. Did note that the trails will go fairly close to the rear of the homes and the staff will work with the homeowners to
address their concerns.
FOSSE: Also concerned that the notice of the Council's consideration of the trail went to the homeowner's association rather
than the individual homeowners.
BOYLES: Summarized that the area is a high priority and that the maintenance and improvement of the holding pond is
required. Noted that the regional trail has been planned for several years. Also advised that town home owners are
considered full-fledged citizens.

owners asking for relocation of the regional trail.

for trail and 50% for maintenance access to the sewer and stormwater.

RAYMOND RAMIREZ (3545 Bay Knolls Drive): Repeated that the proximity of the trail would adversely impact the
homeowners both by pedestrian traffic and snowmobiles, and that the trail cannot be constructed and used without

Also reviewed the projects underway, including the cooperative meeting of County-wide legislators, the cooperative transit
board which is chaired by Susan Walsh, roadway improvement projects, infrastructure and water management, the
Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community issues, annexation, and HUBS program which opened in Prior Manor.
Noted several areas of focus for Scott County, noting that (1) perspectives will always be different between Counties and
cities, and the challenge is to continue to work cooperatively; (2) seamless services between County and cities is the goal;
(3) continue to identify areas where there can be a cooperation of efforts; (4) continue to address impacts of state-wide
budget cuts; and (5) become a regional player by being vocal and organized. Lastly, Scott County has a competitive
advantage for continued growth because of low interest rates, its access to the metro area, its solid public safety service,
the availability of a wide-range of property types, its parks, natural resources, and schools which have great quality in
comparison to other communities.
LEMAIR: Asked if the issue of growth brings any particularly critical issue for the forefront.
UNMACHT: Commented that growth has impacted Scott County for many, many years. The issues are the same. The people
who profit from growth want more, and the people already here, probably want less. To this point, growth has been
responsible and level. The biggest struggle is when there are spikes and valleys. Those are the items that are difficult to
plan for.
LEMAIR: Thanked Commissioner Marschall for her participation in the Prior Lake community and in working cooperatively to
move some of the road improvement projects in Prior Lake forward.
ZIESKA: Thanked the Board of Commissioners for the foresight in proceeding with the jail project, especially in light of the
economic times.
COMMISSIONER MARSCHALL: Thanked the Council for the comments and their cooperation.
COMMISSIONER VOGEL: Complimented the County Administration and fellow Board members for making his transition very
