WS—I <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. I <br />Date: April 4, 2022 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Diane Hankee PE, City Engineer <br />Re: Lakeview Area Storm Drainage Plan <br />Background <br />The Lakeview Drainage Area, located on the City's western border with Blaine, is an urban area <br />that drains poorly and does not have a storm sewer system. It is bound by Elm Street, Sunset <br />Avenue, North Road, and Sunrise Drive. This area, which encompasses the Lexington Park and <br />Lakeview neighborhood, was platted in 1946. In 1987, the City completed a Comprehensive <br />Storm Drainage Plan for the area that is yet to be implemented. There are areas in the <br />neighborhood that do not drain well especially in the springtime. City public works staff <br />annually pumps surface water in certain locations during spring thaw conditions. <br />The roadways in this neighborhood are planned to be reconstructed in 2027. This area is <br />currently served by private wells and individual onsite septic systems. Due to the limited lot <br />sizes, the City would coordinate the extension of municipal sanitary sewer and water with the <br />roadway and drainage improvements. <br />As a first step, staff is looking to update the Lakeview Area Storm Drainage Plan to reflect <br />current design requirements, evaluate potential ponding areas, and identify/confirm the preferred <br />storm water routing. The City currently owns two parcels available for stormwater ponding in <br />the area. The City also has open space in Sunrise Park that could be used if necessary. <br />This information would be used to determine the extent of the 2027 Street Reconstruction <br />project. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is requesting City Council direction to request a proposal from W S B to update the <br />Lakeview Area Storm Drainage Plan. <br />Attachments <br />1.
