MOUN-DS ViEw City of Mounds View Staff Report Item No: 8D Meeting Date: February 26, 2024 Type of Business: CB Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9882 Approving a Maintenance Agreement for Installation of a storm sewer pipe in the Public Rights of Way with Marco and Abigail Montermini at 7655 Pleasant View Drive Introduction: The City is being asked to approve Resolution 9882 approving a maintenance agreement with the property owners at 7655 Pleasant View for a private storm sewer pipe to be installed in the Right of Way (ROW). Background/Discussion: After purchasing the property and building a new home at 7655 Pleasant View, the property owner's, Marco and Abigail Montermini, contacted Jon Sevald, former Director of Community Development because they were concerned about the grading of the yard stating "We have no yard because of the way it was graded - we have a huge swale" Staff began working with the property owner and Anderson Engineering, their Landscape Engineer. A number of options where proposed for the re -grading of the property that included adding a retaining wall to installing infiltration basins in other portions of the property. Anderson Engineering provided a proposed plan that would create a deeper infiltration basin on the West and South portion of the property, this will allow other portions of the property to be re- graded and adding more flat or usable areas next to the home. In order to achieve the desired outcome, a storm sewer pipe will need to be installed connecting the two infiltration basins and it will be required to be installed under the driveway of the property. Staff reviewed the plans and found that the storm sewer pipe was not entirely being placed on private property and that a portion of the pipe was in the City Right of Way (ROW). City Staff, and Engineer along with Anderson Engineering, explored additional drainage scenarios but this option achieved the desired effect. Staff sent the plans to the City Attorney to draft the agreement for the installation and maintenance of the storm sewer pipe located in the City ROW. The property owner will be responsible for maintaining the pipe with the stipulation should the City need to make repairs or maintain the pipe, the current property owner would be invoiced for the costs.
