Elementary School. Roll call was taken. Present: Nelson, Harvey .and Sindt. Absent: Zaun and Enright. Also present: Keith Nelson, Consulting City Engineer; Tim Hanson from the engineering firm; James Robinette, Community Development Director; Patrick McGarvey, City Administrator/Clerk. Councilman Nelson indicated that the purpose of the meeting was to present the current information and history of storm water problems and street condition problems in the Clay's Acres area to the citizens present in an attempt to learn their concerns and feelings toward solving the problems. Mr. Keith Nelson then presented slides of the Jacquard Avenue drain t he project located on the west side of Jacquard Avenue. Mr. Nelson showed how the project was constructed and reported on how it had performed over the past winter and spring. He also showed slides during February of 1985 indicating the ice conditions on some of the streets in Clay's Acres due to the storm water and ground water problems. Mr. Nelson then showed slides of the conditions in late November. of 1984 as to the effect of the ground water on the public streets. Slides were then presented of the project as they were presented in the spring of 1984 based on the September, 1983 feasibility report. Mr. Nelson next gave a cost estimated based on a March 22, 1984 updated feasibility report which showed the grand total of the cost for correcting the ground water conditions affecting private and .public property at $652,700. Mr. Nelson stated he felt that price may be five to ten percent higher by now. He indicated that the estimated assessment costs last year were $835 for the storm drainage system needed on 208th Street, plus $1775 for the drain the system and $1320 for the trunk sewer area assessment for each lot. The total estimated assessment would be $3,930 per lot. Mr. Nelson next showed slides indicating how the project may be altered in an effort to reduce the scope of it and the costs by only installing the drain the pipe along a portion of the north south streets in the Clay's Acres area to serve the areas where the known problems exist at this time. He indicated that a feasibility report on this alternate reduced system would be necessary to provide up to date cost estimates. ~ ~ ~ CITY OF LAKEVILLE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1985 At this time the Acting Mayor, Councilman Nelson, opened the meeting for questions and comments from citizens present. Larry Olmsted indicated that he had not received a notice for the special council meeting, and he lives on 208th Street. LeRoy Pavek asked about the need for an actual storm sewer pipe on the north south streets in Clay's Acres, and Mr. Nelson indicated that the only street that an actual storm sewer pipe is needed on is Italy Avenue. Sharon Baldwin asked why the drain file is proposed to go all the way to the south end of the streets when there is no known problem that far south. Mr. Nelson indicated that the drain the pipes may be put in on a lesser stretch of these streets but with the risk that the problem further south would necessitate an extension in the future. Mark Miller commented that he didn't feel it would be necessary to the both sides of all streets if the drain the is not needed along the entire side of each street. Mr. Keith Nelson then presented a slide showing the areas based on an April, 1984, inspection where known problems existed in the neighbor- hood from ground water. Mr. Stan Whittingham then addressed the council and stated that his property had been served well by the installation of a drain the system on the west side of Jacquard Avenue. Mr. Whittingham indicated that once the drain file was installed, he connected an underground pipe to convey the water from the ground that had been adversely affecting his basement into the drain file system, and that his wet basement problems had been cleared up. Mr. Doug Tipka stated that he had a concern over the resale value of the houses in the Clay's Acres area if this problem was not solved and some improvements made. Mr. Mark Logan, Warren Heidemann and Ron Cameron all made comments concerning the project. At this time, Keith Nelson presented a slide showing the suggested project schedule for moving this project ahead later this year if the consensus of the citizens and council was that the proposed improve- ments, or some part of the proposed improvements, should be con- structed. The city administrator suggested that the council could authorize the city engineering consultant to prepare an updated feasibility report with the alternate improvements being included if authorized by the council either on June 27th or at a future meeting. Once the updated feasibility report is finished and received by the City Council, a 2 t • • CITY OF LAKEVILLE SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 27, 1985 public hearing could then be called on the new feasibility report. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the council could order the project and possibly get the drain the and storm water systems constructed yet this fall. 85.286 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Sindt to authorize Consulting Engineers Diversified to prepare an updated feasibility report on the drainage improvements necessary for the Clay's Acres area, including the alternative systems discussed at the special council meeting on June 10th.
