COUNCIL MINUTES May 8, 2017 <br />APPROVED <br />181 Council Member Maher asked if adoption of a feasbility study is adoption of an outline. Ms. Hankee <br />182 said the study is meant to provide enough information to proceed toward a more detailed plan. <br />183 Mayor Reinert likened the feasibility element to requesting a house to be built and for a cost but not <br />184 providing the details of the house. <br />185 <br />186 Mike Trehus, 675 Shadow Court, noted that he is glad that the whole neighborhood is happy and <br />187 looking forward to a fixed road and perhaps sewer included. He suggested that the city's approach <br />188 this year is much better (not a required bike path, no option to not have water). He understands that <br />189 at this level of the project, everything can't be nailed down but when he looks at the report he sees <br />190 that a storm pond and lift station is included at his property. Mayor Reinert said he understands the <br />191 question and the possibilty of a storm pond on Mr. Trehus' property, but he pointed out that it isn't a <br />192 recommendation at this point and there will be decision points in the future, after a recommendation <br />193 comes in. Mr. Trehus noted Page 7 and quoted a portion. Ms. Hankee responded that the language <br />194 indicates where there is a low point but not where a basin would be placed since it could be placed <br />195 several lots away and still work. Ms. Hankee also noted that the east side of the street would actually <br />196 be more desirable. Mayor Reinert asked if language could be added about the possibility of utilizing <br />197 other suitable locations. <br />198 <br />199 Mr. Trehus showed a map of the roadway area indicating the length of the ditch. He noted the lack <br />200 of elevation change over that entire area. He asked if there couldn't be a pond added to the end of the <br />201 project and therefore not impact anyone's property. Engineer Hankee explained that the grade would <br />202 only be .2% and that would not be enough to move the water. Mr. Trehus asked if curb and gutter <br />203 would allow the runoff and Ms. Hankee said that Option 3 includes curb and gutter that would bring <br />204 the water to the low point. Mayor Reinert remarked that he'd like to keep the discussion relative to <br />205 this point in the process; there are some points that would be discussed down the line. <br />206 <br />207 Mayor Reinert said he fully expects that the city will be in touch with Mr. Trehus and vice versa. Mr. <br />208 Trehus asked the council to postpone approval and the Mayor suggested that there's no reason not to <br />209 get the project going at this point. <br />210 <br />211 Mr. Trehus said he is also concerned about the drainage reporting on water flow. Water doesn't flow <br />212 over the road to get from the west side to the east site — that is in the report but it is not accurate. <br />213 Engineer Hankee explained that is a design element, and added that there is a culvert question and <br />214 that will be discovered. The report refers to a high flood year that Mr. Trehus hasn't seen. Mr. <br />215 Trehus added that there is an outlet. <br />216 <br />217 Mr. Trehus asked who will decide between options one, two and three? Ms. Hankee said ultimately <br />218 the decision is the council's but they will have a staff recommendation for consideration and there <br />219 will be much neighborhood input through the process. <br />220 <br />221 Mr. Trehus noted that staff has indicated that the ditchs have been maintained but he hasn't seen that <br />222 ever. <br />223 <br />5 <br />
