MINUTES J REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 26, 1978 Page 7 1 0 It can go to an extreme in measuring, the lot, the ENGR. LEMBERG roof, grass area, etc. to determine just how much run- off would result from an apartment complex. Normally what is done, is an average of the whole lot is taken, Normally you set residential, commercial 8 agricultural rates. Apartments are considered commercial, at a 900 runoff rate. These estimates are based on a straight 3~ per square foot. A more detailed study would have to be made at a later date on how much area is surfaced and how much is not, if the project is approved. Mr Boyd noted that the residents of his apartments would end up paying the assessment in increased rent they would have to pay and some of his. people are retired on a fixed income and could cause some difficulties for them. He also questioned why the project did not go through 8 to 10 years ago. Engr Lemberg replied that the reason being, we were un- able to get funding as we possibly get now, as without the funding we could not assess the properties for the amount required, the cost would have been prohibitive for the City. Is the amount of the grant negotiable or not and in DICK WINKS what terms? 1825 Fairview No it is not. MR. McELROY Mr. Winke wanted to kow about the standing water in his back yard, it is only there a short time and then goes away. Part of it goes down into the ditches, part into the ENGR. LEMBERG pond and soaks into the ground. On this runoff factor, is that measured in early spring DICK WINKS when the ground is still frozen, is there more runoff then than later after the ground thaws out and can sink into the ground. It is determined on an unthawed condition and not full ENGR. LEMBERG saturation point. This is just surface runoff. It is the same runoff factor the soil conservation dept. uses.
