. . . ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: May 3, 2006 TO: Michelle Olson, Rccrcation Program Supervisor FROM: Kristine Giga, Civil Engincer SUBJECT: Valentine Park Per your request, I have reviewed the existing conditions at Valentinc Park. The park currently expcricnces drainage problems due to the minimal difference in elevation between the park and the ordinary water level of Lake Valentine. The Local Stormwater Management Plan preparcd by SEH in 200] identifies Valentine Park as the location of a regional pond. The proposed rcgional pond would serve a drainage area of 58 acres. Thc proposed size of the pond, as rcported in the management plan, is 2A6 acres in surface arca, or approximately 85% of thc area of the park, The Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan prepared by the PTRC in 2002 proposed improvemcnts to Valentine Park. The proposal includes two ponding arcas, storm sewer and overall drainage improvements, replacement of park and play structures, the parking lot and the construction of a new trail. Estimated costs wcre listed at $]40,000 lor these improvements, Due to an increase in construction costs over the last 5 years, a revised estimate should be used for planning and budgeting purposcs. An estimated cost for pond construction, drainage improvements (regrading the park), basic landscaping, and parking lot, trail and half-court basketball construction is about $220,000, including estimated engineermg fees. This cost is preliminary and does not include park structurc improvements. A study of the entire drainagc arca is recommend cd prior to improvements at thc park, This would assist in preventing adjaccnt prope11ies and thc neighborhood overall from cxperiencing drainage problems as a result of changes made to the park.
