MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUWL FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATC k DATE: DECEMBER 15, 1987 SUBJECT: JACKSON DRIVE AND GROBERG STREET INTERSECTION STORM WATER DRAINAGE It was pointed out to me by Gary Kardell that the City might wish to consider the extension of a stoad ImandwJacksoner tDriveut in on the southeast corner of County as part of the County Road I reconstruction to the irtersect;nn of Jackson Drive and Groberg Street. As some of you prcbably know, this intersection frequently becomes flooded during storm events as a result of the poor drainage that currently exists there. This poor, drainage occurs because of the condition of the ditch on the WeSt side of and Jackson Drive between County Road I and Groberg Streetthe overland drainage to the west to the Landmark Estates ponds. As a result of Gary's suggestions, I requested that City Engineer Dan Boxrud look at this mattes and dprovidewith this recommendations regarding possible way dealing issue. Mr. Boxrud suggests that the storm sewer line be extended along the ditch on Jackson Drive with catch basins being placed en the northeast and southeast corners of the Cintersection and a possible catch basin on the southwest corner of the intersection. This would allow the filling of the ditch on Jackson Drive, which has become a significant maintenance problem for the City dueit the the Mweedsgrowth and View the fact that the children residing round area. Also, by Estates apartments use this as a playg eliminating the pending of water in the intersection of Jackson Drive and Groberg Street it would eliminate traffic hazards experienced during winter months with the development of ice in the intersection and hopefully, reduce the deterioration of the pavement that is occurring at this intersection. Mr. oxrd the cost of constrtion be underu$10,�000aand has tsuggested to meeverbally would that this work could be performed by the contractor for County Road I next spring when they return to the site to finish the catch basin work and paving that remains to be done. I have attached a rough drawi.ne to Mr. Boxrud's memorandum to show the approximate drainage area for this intersectiun as well as the locations of cal-ch basins and storm sewer line. Should Co,incil agree with the recommendation that this work could to done; Staff could negotiate a contract with PCI for the work to be completed next spring with the monies coming from the City's Storm Water Management Fund. Your direction in this matter would be appreciated. DFP/mjs Attachments:
