Minutes of Regular Council Meeting March 28, 1983 Page Two . . . than street, lots 10 and 11 do drop off in the rear, probably would build them up somewhat. All three lots appear to be higher than proposed street. Woodburn noted that O'Meara will be doing the building; all builders are expected to check sewer elevations before beginning construction. Mulcahy queried if there would be a problem with back yards flood- ing if water is drained along NSP easement, asked how deep a ditch is proposed, expressed concern about flooding of easement pathway to Hszelnut Park. Christoffersen stated that ditch could be up to 2 feet deep, grading plans are not completed; may run a small pipe for water to cross to low area if this is a problem. Council discussed wisdom of having two pathway entrances to Hazelnut Park ~ since there are presently two easements, at Jamie Circle and be- tween lots 21 and 22. O'Meara would prefer not having two path- ways, final plat has been prepared. Council further discussed possibility of drainage of James Circle across the intersection as opposed to the 12" drain to the NSP easement. Woodburn noted this is done in Some industrial areas in Arden Hills, does not personally favor this method but sees advantages in this particular case, major disadvantsge is possi- bility of standing water freezing in the street. Christoffersen and O'Meara discounted this concern - would be rare that there would be this much drainage from such small area. Hicks asked if decision must be made on method recommended tonight; Christof- fersen suggested drawing plans for both, and checking with Johansen for his input; final decision does not need to be made by Council now. Hicks queried if there would be enough time between Phase 1 and Phase 2 to see if drainage across intersection is satisfactory and, if not, to run storm sewer to Ja~ie Circle during Phase 2. Christoffersen said that if the cul-de-sac is tipped to the road, we are committed to draining on the road. Storm sewer could be run up Katie Lane and a catch basin installed, but this would be expensive. O'Meara stated he would be happy with either method of draining cul-de-sac, would probably prefer draining across the intersec- tion. Cost difference in two plans is negligible. McAllister noted an error on page 4 of the Feasibility Report - cost of the materials for storm sewer should be $15,510, sub- total $19,385. (Total estimated cost of project should be $185,545 instead of $184,600). Motion was made by Hicks, seconded by McAllister, that Council approve Resolution No. 83-23 ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND OXDERING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT NO. SS-W-P-ST 83-3, HAZELNUT PARK ADDITION, PHASE 1. Motion carried unanimous- ly (5-0). This motion accepts the 12" drainage off Jamie Circle. Improvement No. S~-83-2 - Sewer Extension to 1315 Red Fox Road Resolution No. 83-22, Ordering Preparation of Plans and Specifi- cstions Christoffersen reviewed with Council Options 1 and 2, February II, .- 1983 Feasibility Report, for extension of this sewer line. Option ~ 1 extends an 8" sanitary sewer westerly 650 I and extends a 2" force main from the gravity line to the Nielsen property line. Option 2 extends a 2" force main approximately 950' from Nielsen property to in-place sanitary sewer trunk line. It is ChristOf- fersen's assumption that the force main would be a private force main, because it would be used by one party; responsibility of long term maintenance would be property owner's; this has been standard policy of Village. When not connected to public lift station, Village could not control what goes into line, making maintenance difficult. From an engineering standpoint, Christoffersen feels Option 1 gives the most flexibility, understands there are cost considera- tions, but would clearly consider Option 1 preferable. -2-
