INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council acceptance of the feasibility study for the NE Area Drainage Study.
BACKGROUND
The City Council authorized preparation of a feasibility study for the NE Area Drainage Study
on September 14, 2015 to provide surface water management to land lying north of Main Street
between the City of Hugo and Peltier Lake.
The surface water in the northeast area of Lino Lakes is landlocked inhibiting site improvements
within this area. The area has been historically landlocked until the installation of agricultural
field drains in the early 20th century. These agricultural drains are now at capacity and are
incompatible with future development within the watershed. In addition the agricultural drains
do not provide water quality benefits to the receiving waterbody, Peltier Lake. A majority of this
watershed currently drains to the south via field drains to Clearwater Creek. Clearwater Creek is
impaired for aquatic life and has had a history of significant bank erosion problems.
Multiple alternatives were considered and refined with input from land owners, potential
developers, neighboring communities, the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), the
Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
As a condition of the project, a Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSMP) is in
development. The CSMP and the associated surface water modeling includes regional water
quality best management practices (BMPs), stormwater volume and rate control improvements,
and a new outlet to Peltier Lake. The CSMP also includes design standards for future
developments in the Northeast area. Peltier Lake is impaired for nutrients and it is imperative
that the new system does not adversely impact the lake and other downstream interests.
The proposed project will benefit nearly 1,300 acres and includes:
• A new stormwater conveyance system;
• Multi-purpose regional stormwater management facilities;
• Pedestrian trail extensions; and
• Improvements to Peltier Lake Drive
The project will be implemented using a phased approach based on preliminary development
patterns. The phases and cost per phase are as follows:
vr" " Development Phase
Cost
Phase 1— Peltier Lake Outlet Improvements
$2,248,023
Phase 2 — I -35E Crossing
$750,914
Phase 3 — East Side Improvements
$639,925
Phase 4 — West Side Improvements
$557,491
TOTAL COST
$4,196,353
Funding for the project will be through surface water management fees, and potential grants
from Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), Minnesota Board Water and Soil Resources
(BWSR), and the Public Facilities Authority (PFA).
The Environmental Board recommended approval of the feasibility study with the addition that
water quality be improved beyond what is required by permitting and as possible.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 16-62 Accepting Feasibility Study, NE Area
Drainage Study.
