CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 6C
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala
MEETING DATE: November 13, 2012
TOPIC: Consider Resolution No. 12 -113, Authorizing Professional
Services Agreement with WSB, NE Area Drainage Study
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
Staff is requesting council consideration to retain WSB & Associates to prepare a drainage study
for the 35E area.
BACKGROUND
Over the past three years staff has been working with property owners in the northeast quadrant
of the 35E interchange to evaluate planning alternatives and economic development
opportunities. One of the original core issues was the establishment of a right -of -way corridor
for Otter Lake Road. This step has been completed and the first 400 feet of roadway is being
considered for construction in 2013.
The second major issue, which may have the largest impact on development in this area is
drainage. The majority of land north of Main Street lying east of 35E drains to County Ditch 55,
under 35E and ultimately to Clearwater Creek. Land within this area is poorly drained with clay
soils that have minimal infiltration capacity. Additionally, the tile line that conveys water from
this area was constructed in the early 1900's for agricultural purposes. It does not have the
capacity to carry runoff from developing properties. The Rice Creek Watershed District is in the
process of completing a ditch repair report for Ditch 55. This report includes additional
background on the capacity of the system and its limitations.
Given the constraints of the system and need to balance agricultural, development and public
infrastructure needs, a comprehensive management plan is needed for this area. Addressing both
water quality and volume requirements within this area will have an impact on the developability
of property within the corridor. Since this is an area of high importance from an economic
development perspective, it appears to be in the best interest of the city and land owners to
develop a plan that identifies the best options for stormwater treatment and storage, preservation
of natural areas and establishment of a preferred conveyance system and routing for stormwater.
To assist the City at staff's request, WSB has proposed the preparation of a "Guide Plan" that
would evaluate the drainage characteristics of the area, infrastructure needs, and land use and
•
•
provide recommendations for improvements. The plan would serve as a tool for review of future
development. WSB has proposed to complete this work through preparation of a draft plan for
$16,500. Funding would be provided out of the engineering budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 12 -113
