~ , Minutes of Regular Council Meeting Monday, July 9, 1984 - 7:30 p.m. Page Two explained that originally the drainage was over the surface and was changed to a drainage pipe to Lake Johanna. Christoffersen noted that the Carlson house is at the edge of the easement; the catch basin is not taking all the water, consequently, the excess water is following the original surface drainage route. Christoffersen explained that the existing storm sewer is designed for a "5-year storm"; explained that the problem would be alleviated if a valley was kept along the easement - Carlson yard is currently about 6" higher than the Rauenhorst yard; noted that the Rauenhorst driveway is low, water runs from the higher area to the driveway and eventually into the garage and then to the lake. In discussion, it was asked if the existing pipe is carrying all the water it can. Christoffersen said it is not, the catch basin is not adequate; explained that the situation can be rectified by lowering the catch basin (or replacing the existing round catch basin with a square or rectangular catch basin, which holds more water) and raising the curb; estimated the cost at $1500-$2500, depending on the catch basin (existing or square); noted that the extimated cost includes removal and replacement of about 20' of curb and Village employee time. Hicks asked if the pipe is large enough to handle storms larger than "5-year". Christoffersen said it is not, can build the storm sewer to withstand a 10-year storm, or greater, if this is what Council wants; noted that the problem is the shallow manhole - can correct it to take about 6 cfs (about $1500) or can build a square or rectangular catch basin to take about 10 cfs ($2500). Hicks moved, seconded by Mulcahy, that Council authorize the improvement to lower the intake catch basin, change it to a rectangular catch basin, replace curb and gutter and bolt manhole at a cost not to exceed $2500. Motion carried unanimous1y.(4-0) Carlson asked the cost to replace 15" pipe with 18", pipe. Christoffersen estimated the cost at $30/foot (about 200' of pipe). Letter Complaint re Water Impr. 83-4 Construction Council was referred to letter of 6-28-84 signed by several residents on Highway 10, registering a complaint about the Water Improvement 83-4 construction work. Christoffersen reported that the inspector has experienced difficulty in getting the contractor to get the job done on time and done correctly; explained that the wet weather has been part of the problem - early snow - couldn't get him back this spring because it was too wet; was advised not to pave - contractor paved anyway; feels contractor is not reliable - refused to do anything until it really got dry and refused to put gravel down. etc. . Christoffersen reported that the contractor has submitted an application for payment; recommends no payment until the bituminous is corrected (have about $8000 retainage). (Rauenhorst returned to Council room) Park Dedication, Office/Warehouse. Round Lake Road West - Nielsen and Associates Realty Mulcahy reported that he met wich Nielsen and Associates relative to park dedication on two parcels of land; noted that they have their proposal before Council tonight.
