APPROVAL OF AGENDA <br /> MOTION: Approved as a part of the Council's Regular Meeting agenda. <br /> 2. AGENDA ITEMS <br /> A. Townhome Association Drainage Analysis <br /> Public Works Director Maurer explained that this issue is under discussion because of the <br /> flooding problems that occurred during the July 16th storm. Council determined in August 2011 <br /> that it would be appropriate to ask Bolton and Menk to take a look at the hydrology of the Arden <br /> View Townhome drainage system and determine if there were any opportunities to improve that <br /> system. He explained that he toured the site with Bolton and Menk. Bolton and Menk sent a <br /> survey crew to the site, gathered some critical topographic information, then constructed an <br /> existing model of the drainage system, and calibrated that model based on data gathered from the <br /> on-site inspection. Their analysis shows that the drainage system on that property is designed for <br /> a 10 year storm event which is what the City would require a developer to construct today. But <br /> the rolling terrain and grading of the development would likely be required to be done differently <br /> today so as not to trap storm water in areas with no emergency overland outlet. Research showed <br /> that in the mid 1970's the City had accepted the storm sewer piping/ponding on this site. <br />
