DRAINAGE <br /> <br />Mayor sather arrived at 7:55 p.m, <br /> <br />Engineer Graham provided background on this lssue. rie <br />reported that a public hearing was held in october. 1991 where <br />plans were presented to extend a 1211 plpe [rOE) ;.ne l"ear c:t <br />1553 Arden Plac~ to the south toward Lake Johanna to correct <br />drainage problems in the Arden Place area. Graham stated that <br />further review of the situation was then delayed due to the <br />extreme snowfall which began the end of October, 1991. <br /> <br />Referring to his May 18, 1992 report. Graham explained the <br />proposed layout of two drainage options and compared them as <br />follows: <br /> <br />Option 1 would be the most direct route, however it would <br />require extensive removal of existing trees, would <br />present construction difficulties. and would require <br />easement acquisition. The cost of Option 1 would be <br />about $17,000 plus easement acquisition. <br /> <br />. Option 2 would be more favorable in that construction <br />would take place In City owned right-of-way and would <br />minimally affect existing trees. The cost of Option 2 <br />would be about $24,000. <br /> <br />Graham recommended Option 2 and advised that Option 1 has <br />received some opposition from affected residents. He added <br />that either option would provide an adequate solution to the <br />drainage problem. <br /> <br />_ Councilmember Growe asked to compar'e Option 1 and option 2 <br />relative to impact on existing trees. Graham said Option 1 <br />would require the removal of possible 15 - 18 trees, while he <br />would hope that Option 2 could avoid any tree removal. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks inquired as to why the drainage and <br />easement problem was not addressed when the house at 1553 was <br />built. Graham stated there was a drainage pipe in place at <br />that time and the placement of that pipe has not changed, but <br />the pipe has been plugged for some time, therefore ineffective <br />as a drainage system. <br /> <br />Wally Bauer, 1553 Arden Place, stated that when he bought his <br />lot, he assumed the existing drainage pipe was adequate, then <br />the City issued a building permit. the house was built, the <br />. drainage problem was identified, and the City has tried to no <br />avail to unplug the existing pipe. <br />
