1 1 1 COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 27, 1995 serve the area. These public improvements would include sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewers, and streets. The information contained within the report will be presented at this time and the City Council should take public input. Mr. Powell explained that utilities would be extended west from an existing manhole along White Pine Road to Baldwin Lake Road and south on Baldwin Lake Road to the south end of Woods of Baldwin Lake Road, Second Addition. In addition utilities would be extended west from an existing manhole on Woodridge Lane to Baldwin Lake Road. The watermain would be extended to complete a "looping" of the water service in this area. A water storage pond will be located at the northeast corner of Baldwin Lake Road and Woodridge Lane. Other utilities include construction of streets, curbs and gutters. A property owner, Mr. Thompson, west of Baldwin Lake Drive, expressed a concern during the preliminary plat process regarding where water runoff from the subdivision would be eventually go and a culvert across Baldwin Lake Drive. Mr. Powell pointed to a dark line on the map north of Woodridge Lane and explained that this represents a storm sewer collecting drainage from the roadway and depositing it across the street to the east in a ponding area. He noted that a detailed grading plan has not been presented by the developer, and said he envisioned this to be an overflow over the roadway to the west and no direct culvert would be installed. Mr. Powell explained that staff is pursuing from RCWD flexibility on whether a street section not including curb and gutter would be acceptable from a drainage standpoint. He said that curb and gutter allows water on a roadway to be collected and routed to a pond before it is discharged to the ultimate downstream conveyance area. This plan would allow the roadway to be constructed to the standard City section which includes five (5) inches of Class #5, two (2) inches of bituminous base and one and one-half (1 1/2) inches of bituminous wearcourse. If curb and gutter is not constructed, the amount of grading adjacent to the roadway would be lessened and also the impact on the adjacent properties. In response to a property owners concern on the north side of White Pine Road, there is a proposed six (6) foot jog to the south, in the roadway (not the easement) beginning at the existing curb and continue to the west to Baldwin Lake Road. The right-of-way remains unchanged. This alignment is acceptable to the City Utility Foreman. It still allows room for installation of private utilities on the boulevard. The preliminary cost estimates have been prepared and were outlined by Mr. Powell. The cost estimates includes providing utility stubs for property owners outside of the proposed subdivision. This action would eliminate the need to disturb the PAGE 22 1 Fs 6
