COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 28, 2002 <br />• generally have sewer service on the corner lots from the side streets. He explained how sewer would <br />be extended into that area to provide service. <br />Mr. Brink stated that the west end has sanitary sewer in front of the Willow Ponds development so <br />very little sanitary sewermain would be added. He suggested that extensions be provided to those <br />properties that are not currently served by sanitary sewer. <br />Mr. Brink stated that watermain will require the least amount of work as most of the roadway is <br />already served by an existing 12 -inch diameter watermain on the south side of the road from Gray <br />Heron Drive almost to Mourning Dove Road. The project would extend service to the properties on <br />the north side to provide water service. <br />Mr. Brink stated part of the reason the utility work is being proposed is that this is an ideal time to do <br />so since the road is being torn out and reconstructed. <br />Mr. Brink then presented the storm drainage project which he explained`` is the most challenging from <br />an engineering standpoint because the land is so flat with few' importunities to connect the storm <br />sewer. He stated that the drainage in this area is poor, as ias beenseen during the recent rainfalls. <br />Mr. Brink noted the connection point on Second Avenue t;:location it must be extended. He <br />pointed out the area of a proposed storm water detention pond and advised that the property owner <br />has indicated a willingness to talk about that option. <br />Mr. Brink noted a similar situation on the other end of the project and location of existing ponds <br />behind the development. He stated that th ca acily of those ponds will need to be determined. <br />Mr. Brink stated the estimated cost oftl a proj et is $2.5 million and offered to answer questions. <br />Councilmember Carlson stated about a year ago there were meetings about traffic calming and this <br />report gives no information on traffic calming. <br />City Engineer Studenski stated the Council did authorize the traffic study and staff has received that <br />data which has just been compiled. He advised that data indicated there is fairly minimal speeding <br />and characterized it as being at the start of and end of the school day. He explained that a width of 32 <br />feet would provide for no parking on Elm Street and the landscaping will also be addressed further <br />with the plans and specifications as well as highlighting the pedestrian crossing areas with colors, <br />change in pavement, and possibly be slightly raised. City Engineer Studenski stated that policing is <br />an issue that can also be discussed and there will be additional meetings on these issues. He <br />explained that the level of detail will be worked on as neighborhood meetings are held and the plans <br />are worked on. <br />Councilmember Carlson asked staff to keep the Council aware of neighborhood meeting dates.
