City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • May 28, 1996 - Page 4 1 building but not as pleased with the parking available. Some parking arrangements have 2 been made with Mr. Bona for parking along the side of the building in exchange for 3 maintenance of the grass. 4 Mayor Ranallo reported he had received a letter from Tom Baldin,Northwest Youth and 5 Family Services in regard to a bike ride on September 21, 1996 which would wind . 6 through their service area and culminate in a central area for a picnic. They are asking if 7 the cities involved would be interested in planning city events in conjunction with the 8 ride. A meeting is scheduled for June 5, 1996 at 7:00 A.M. 9 Wagner noted there has been discussion of improving the bike route which the Kiwanis 10 installed in 1972. If this was completed by September 21, it was a possible route for the 11 bike ride. 12 Mayor Ranallo expressed his appreciation for all the cards and calls he received during 13 his illness. 14 B. Report on Drainage District 6 15 Mayor Ranallo reported a comprehensive study had been completed in 1992 on how to eliminate the water problem in this area. The conclusion was that it would require elimination of'a park to allow for installation of a pond. Barr Engineering has been asked 18 to re-examine the issue as there may be an opportunity for improvement due to the 19 possibility of redevelopment of the trailer park in the area. 20 Dennis Palmer, Barr Engineering explained the three alternatives which were presented in 21 1992 had been re-examined. The three alternatives include increased downstream storm 22 sewer capacity at a cost of$6 million, construction of a combination of stormwater ponds 23 and diversion at a cost of$3 million, or flood protection of existing property. The third 24 alternative was chosen in 1992. 25 Mr. Palmer reported current analysis illustrates that the first alternative would have a cost 26 to benefit ratio of 4. The second alternative would require much of the trailer park parcel 27 to build a very large pond. It would also require a very large relief system to provide 28 capacity to carry overflow from areas North of 29th Avenue and local flows. This 29 alternative would also have a cost to benefit ratio of 4. Based on economics neither 30 alternative is feasible. 31 Mr. Palmer recommended that any developer of the trailer park parcel be required to 32 provide storage for runoff which originates in that area which will require approximately 33 one to two acres of area. Mayor Ranallo noted there are less than twenty homes affected in the area.
