, MEMORANDUM To: Kim Moore-Sykes, Centerville Administrator Cc: PaulPalzer, Director of Public Works From: Tom Peterson, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik Subject: Eagle Pass Addition- outstanding issues Date: July 19,2004 At the July 14,2004 City Council meeting, Eagle Pass Addition was discussed, specifically the outstanding issues regarding drainage and sidewalks. 1. The stormwater drainage from the wetland area south of Dupre Road and east of Portage Way flows through a swale between Unit 1 and Unit 8. This is per the original grading plan from 1996, when Eagle Pass was first developed. Dupre Road, along with the storm sewer, sidewalk, etc. was constructed in 1997. When Portage Way was constructed in 2002, the same grading plan was used. It appeared that some of the wetland water was supposed to go to the southwest. But several pine trees from the original tree farm were left in-place as a buffer, in the southwest part of the wetland area. The trees are on higher ground which prevents water from running towards the southwest. So when it rains enough, the water rises in the wetland and flows north in the swale towards Dupre Road. I propose we install a small catch basin in the swale, just south of the Dupre sidewalk. This storm structure will catch some of the water in the swale and direct it underground to storm pipe in Dupre, thereby reducing some of the water that flows on and over the sidewalk at this location. I estimate this will cost $1,000 - $1,500 to install. The City could pay for this out of their storm sewer fund or may elect to deduct it from the developers private improvements escrow account. 2. The Twin Townhome area (Ojibway Drive) has some issues with the lot line abutting with Meadow Lane. The developer has done some clean-up work in the pine tree buffer area, removing fence posts, fence material, and debris. After inspecting the area on 7/14/04, there are about 7 old wood fence posts remaining. I did not see any fence material attached to the posts. The weeds were quite high, and I did not see any other debris. I will try to get Swift to come back to remove the posts.
