No. P 83-1 Christoffersen explained that his est~mate of $52,500 is based on his earlier estimate of costs, less the drainage facilities. It includes bituminous walkways, curb and gutter and right-of-way. Motion was made by Christiansen, seconded by McAllister, that Council adopt Resolution 83-24, REQUESTING APPROPRIATION OF MUNICIPAL STATE AID FUNDS FOR LEXINGTON AVENUE IMPROVEMENT. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Status Report - Hazelnut Park Addition, Phase I, Plans and Speci- fications Christoffersen reported that he has done further study on the drainage of this area; discovered that it would cost between $8,000 and $10,000 more to drain the cul-de-sac with the 12" drainage pipe, as previously discusaed; is also concerned about drainage into back yards with this method. He is recommending tipping the cul-de-sac, and installing a concrete gutter across it (there would be only 2 acres at the most to drain). While he normally does not recommend this type of drainage, feels it is best solution in thia case. Woodburn queried possibility of "bird baths" developing with sub- sidence of street. Christoffersen felt it unlikely this would occur with l~or more grade on street. . Council concurred with Christoffersen's recommendation. Resolution No. 83-25, Authorizing Sanitary Sewer Connections to the New Brighton Sanitary Sewer System and Amending the Sewer Policy Plan of the City's Comprehensive Development Plan Christoffersen noted that Resolution No. 81-71, approved in October 1981, was withdrswn (Resolution No. 82-9). Since the Metropolitan Council has now modified its Water Quality Policy Plan to accom- modate the New Brighton Interceptor, a Resolution must be re sub- mitted. Christoffersen noted that page 2 2.(b) of the Resolution, which is before Council, calls for extension of the interceptor to the City's westerly corporate limits by 1984. While he does not think it will be possible for MWCC to accomplish this, he recommends that the date not be changed; City needs the additional facility as soon as possible.
