It is a city policy when additional development of parking takes place that the run-off from that facility be collected at the site rather than be (inaudible) drained on the roadway. It was required that the Knights of columbus - that they construct a collection facility which would lead to an ap- proved City outlet. One of the ways this could happen - speaking temporarily about Knights of Columbus - would be to go to their low point in their parking area and build a sewer out to the storm sewer that was connected in 1970. At the same time whis was taking place, the King's Court was planning an expansion which led to additional run-off by larger buildings, and also revamped and enlarged parking lots. Once again the same policy prevailed and they would also have to collect this water and then take it to an ap- proved facility. Their low point is in this corner. They would have to intercept here and bring a line to connect to this same storm sewer. We have listed this as Alternative 1 because, obviously (inaudible) that these two would construct their own and the city would not be involved, and they would maintain them forever after. There was thought by the ownership that this may not be the cheapest or most appropriate way to go. Therefore, we were contacted to see if the city would agree to do this as a public improvement, and rather than build the two lines as they had in the past which we would not do - rather to build a public facility that would be collecting the water from the Knights of Columbus at their low point and King's Court, and also from the Polar Food Locker which drains in this same area, and Rosebrook Park which doesn't have any internal drainage facilities either. We have put together a feasibility study that would provide for collecting water from all of these sources. In doing so, rather than going out to Fry Street where the storm sewers are, we propose to go northerly to the drainage facility along Snelling Avenue. I might add, these facili- ties we talked of on Fry go to the end of the (inaudible) loop and go back to the same Snelling Avenue Facilities.
