Consideration, discussion and possible action to recommend to Council to expend funds to survey an area near the intersection of Elm and Washington to assist in inhouse design of a drainage system (Case No. 26-011)
End
Background:
A citizen contacted the City requesting assistance with drainage that has been impacting their property from a neighboring commercial development. The commercial development is in an un-platted lot constructed around 1980. The subdivision and commercial development are close to the intersection of Washington and Elm. There are no curbs along the west side of the commercial parking lot. The parking lot drainage area is about 2 Acres. There is a small inlet to collect stormwater runoff on the west side. This conveys and outlets along Washington St. The flow overwhelms the existing inlet and overtops into the neighboring yards.
Possible concept considered is to add a curb to the West side of the commercial parking lot to keep the flows on the commercial site while upsizing the existing inlet to allow it to better handle the flows. Then once captured the flows will be conveyed to the existing ditch along Washington. This design could be performed in-house with the only expenditures being for survey of the area, and eventually materials for the City's Streets and Stormwater department to later install.
The adjacent subdivision is Village Square Third, platted 1971.
This is in the Haikey Creek Basin.
Staff is requesting $12,000.00 of the 2018 General Obligation Bond Proposition 6 funds to perform survey that will allow for inhouse design of drainage improvements
