• Preliminary Draft-Implementation Plan for Responding to Flooding <br /> Problems in the City of St.Anthony <br /> WSB Project No. 1065.10 <br /> December 12, 1997 <br /> Page 3 <br /> • Grant funding would only be available for physical improvement projects <br /> constructed outside or adjacent to the house to prevent flood water inundation of the <br /> structure. These activities could include lot regrading, sealing walkout and lookout <br /> openings. No sump pump/drain tilelbasement water proofing work would be <br /> eligible. <br /> • Grant applications that are submitted and not funded in a given year would be <br /> allowed to resubmit their application the following year. The general concept is that <br /> if the project has merit, it would likely be funded in the next five f years. <br /> • Without the flood proofing grant program, the cost to construct storm drainage <br /> improvements will increase significantly. <br /> Task 3 - Purchase Homes Selected for Renewal <br /> • Homes identified for removal would be purchased and facilities would be constructed in locations <br /> specified no later than 1999. It is anticipated that up to five homes would be purchased. <br /> Task 4 - Attempt to Secure Grants <br /> Continuous efforts will be taken over the next four + years to receive outside funding for storm <br /> drainage improvement projects. Potential units of government for which funding could be secured <br /> includes the State of Minnesota, Rice Creek Watershed District, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, <br /> Federal Government, Mn/DOT, County Highway Departments, adjoining cities, Soil and Water <br /> Conservation Districts, FEMA, and the Metropolitan Council. This effort will attempt to secure <br /> outside funding in the amount of$5 to $6 million. <br /> Task 5 - Construct Storm Drainage Improvements <br /> Storm drainage improvements will be constructed to the extent funding will allow during the period <br /> 1998 through the year 2002. It is anticipated the City would refrain from bonding for large scale <br /> improvements until after 2001 so as to provide time to undertake efforts to receive outside funding. <br /> Task 6 - Revise Storm Water Utility Fees -As Necessary <br /> This task proposes to change the storm water utility fees beginning in the year 2001 to allow the <br /> • remaining public improvements to be constructed by the year 2005. The amount of the fee increase <br /> (if any)would be based on the success of receiving outside funding. It is anticipated that the City <br /> F.IW OW 1065.10111119"memo <br />
