<br />CASE #1 <br /> <br />REVIEW DRAFT CULVERT POLICY <br />By: Steven Jankowski, Assistant City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the June 16,2009 Public Works Committee meeting the Committee discussed the need for <br />this issue of maintenance responsibilities from driveway culverts in those areas of the City where <br />roadside ditches are used to carry storm water drainage. The current City Code does not address <br />the requirements for driveway culverts, however, as late as 1999 the code required that a <br />minimum 15 inch culvert be placed beneath every driveway unless it was determined by the <br />street superintendant that a culvert would not be required. The Committee directed staff to <br />prepare a policy which would identify the requirements and responsibilities for the installation <br />and maintenance of driveway culverts. Attached to this case is a draft policy for the Committee's <br />reVIew. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the Committee recommend the attached culvert policy to City Council for <br />adoption following review by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend adoption of the draft driveway culvert to the City Council for adoption <br />following review by the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br />City Engineer <br />Public Works Street Supervisor <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />PW: 07/21/09 <br />
