I I. Arden Hills Public Work Supervisor, Dan Winkel, has received numerous complaints regarding the drainage issue in the area and held several meetings with property owners from the area of I concern. City forces have attempted to clear the existing sewer pipe to improve flow; however, the small diameter pipe has proven to be inadequate for the amount of water which accumulates within the three lots addressed above. I A feasibility study was completed in September, 1991 and plans and specifications were initiated then as well; however, the project was cancelled due to financial and easement acquisition I issues. Recently Mr. Johnson of 1540 Arden Place has indicated a willingness to provide the necessary easement which was instrumental in re-activating this project. I PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS I The proposed improvements to serve this drainage area would consist of the placement of a catch basin in the rear lot of 1553 Arden Place to collect the storm water runoff. From this catch I basin, l5-inch diameter storm sewer pipe would extend south across Arden Place and continue between 1548 Arden Place and 1540 Arden Place, where it would then discharge directly into Lake Johanna. Two manhole structures would be placed, one at the catch basin location and one I on the lot line between 1540 and 1548 Arden Place for clean out purposes. Additional work necessary to complete this project would include sodding and pavement restoration following the pipe installation. It may also be necessary to relocate an existing utility pole north of Arden . Place and remove two trees along the proposed easement. I EASEMENTS AND PERMITS An eight-inch sanitary sewer is in place along the common lot line between 1553 Arden Place I and 3487 Ridgewood Road, yet no records have been located which would indicate an easement over this sanitary sewer. It may be necessary to obtain an easement north of Arden Place to construct these improvements. The plat from 1944 containing properties south of Arden Place, I called Arden Hills, does not indicate any utility or drainage easements between 1540 and 1548 Arden Place. The extent of the easement necessary to complete the construction of these storm sewer improvements is anticipated to be twelve to twenty feet of permanent easement and five I to ten additional feet of temporary construction easement. I An engineer for the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) has indicated that a permit may not be necessary to complete the project as it is simply the replacement of an existing pipe. A letter will be sent to the RCWD to verify that this indication is correct prior to any construction taking I place. I {' 3 I
