PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR BONA ROAD EXTENSION Engineer Hubbard presented that plans and specifications for the Bona Road extension, Project 1977 -2, which were prepared by Banister -Short and reported that a problem with the storm sewer had been discovered just that afternoon which would require more study. The problem was that the storm sewers presently in existence are believed to be already over capacity and that a new development would burden them even more. The potential problem would be that during heavy rains, the water could back up and go over the tops of the curbs. However, Engineer Hubbard and Banister -Short felt the problem could be solved by putting drainage through between the property lines and running it through the back, where it would eventually meet up with the storm sewer on County Road H2. Administrator Achen asked what was meant by "over capacity ". Engineer Hubbard replied that Banister -Short had done an analysis of the existing pipes. The existing piping is 27" wide and would not be adequate to meet future needs of a new development. Councilmember Baumgartner asked if the developer of the property was aware of the problem, and Engineer Hubbard replied that he was not, as the problem had just been discovered that afternoon. Councilmember Ziebarth expressed concern with holding the development up for another three weeks, until the next Council meeting, at which time the problem could hopefully be solved. Administrator Achen clarified the situation by explaining the pro's and con's, that the Banister -Short study indicated the pipe was inadequate; however, they did not know the capacity of the pipe at the present time, and that it was an odds game. Banister -Short would not agree to come to the Council Meeting and state definitely that the problem could be solved by going through the property lines, John Riggs, developer of the property, expressed his displeasure at the nei,r delay and reminded the Council that he had turned in the grading plans for the area over a month ago and felt that t he problems should h a�.. ve been iL cA-=-. out in the Planning _: .w... v> _ , and asked the Council what they wanted him to do next. Engineer Hubbard stated that the grading plan should be reworked and easements would be required. Mr. Riggs replied that the easements had already been planned for in the plat. Administrator Achen suggested that the Council could make a motion, with conditional approval, and that they wold have a second chance to work out the problem, when the bids were submitted for approval, and that if the builder did not meet the specifi- cations, it could be turned down at that time. Councilmember Ziebarth asked what the next step would be for the City Engineer. Engineer. Hubbard replied that he would determine if an overflow ditch would solve the problem and that if the grades would have to be changed, he would go the builder with that information.
