Barry Peters reviewed the history of the drainage problems and previous attempts to alleviate the problem. Peters summarized his recommendations for correcting the drainage problem: 1. Replacing the 18" CMP outlet with a larger capacity concrete pipe and . installing high capacity catch basins at the low point on Glenview Ave. and the two catch basins southwest of Glenview Court. 2. Constructing a bermed drainage swale, behind the curb, and extend from the swa1e from the low point to the property line then east along the north property line to Valentine Park. 3. Construct a small berm in front of 3946 Glenview to reduce the potential for water jumping curb and draining across the Caniff's property. The estimated cost of the recommended system, including engineering, legal and administrative costs is $23,000.00. Council discussed various methods of funding for the project or if the project could be included as part of the Edgewater Estates development. The Engineer stated he would contact the developer for the Edgewater project to determine if Glenview Avenue could be done in conjunction with Edgewater and to receive a cost estimate. The Public Works Supervisor advised he would review the 1987 budget to determine if funds are available for the project. There was discussion regarding catch basin and pipe design, and potential water damage to park property. Barry Peters gave rationale for size of pipe and catch basin design; also explained that the catch basin apron at Valentine Park would include rock for water distribution. .
