Gloria Dei Church Drainage Easement Tim Houle informed the Council about discharging a new storm sewer pipe into a natural low area of the northeast area of the Gloria Dei parcel in relation to the West Lake Street Project. He explained that the area is currently a natural drainage area. Tim explained that MnDOT suggested that the City talk to the Church because there may be a possibility that the City would add water to the low area. Tim explained that he did communicate with the Church Council and worked out some conditions with the Church. Tim explained that Attorney Paul Sandelin suggested that the City add language stating that the prescriptive easement rights would not be waived. The Church did not want to sign the easement with the prescriptive easement language in it. Tim noted that the Attorney then recommended leaving things as they are. Tim suggested two other possibilities. Talk to MnDOT and explain the situation and then find out if MnDOT is going to include the easement requirement in the permit. 2. Follow the City Attorney's suggestion approach and not get �. an easement if MnDOT would accept it.
