CASE # a CONSIDER 2008 STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS. By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer Background: . Recall that at the June 19, 2008 Public Works Committee meeting staff presented several storm water issues that are brought to its attention through citizen complaints. Below is a brief description of drainage issues being evaluated for possible correction in 2008, .. 16350 Kangaroo Street - A majority of the right~of-way drains to one location within the cul-de-sac and flows through an easement along the property line to a larger drainage and utility easeznent encambering a wetland system behind the residences. This concentrated flow is creating an erosion problem along the property line and within the naturally occurring ditch system in the wooded area behind. Stabilization is required along the eroded areas _ 6941 152ntfAven~e - Drainage from Jaspar Street is transmitted from the street via a bituminous spillway and is supposed to flow through an easement along the property line to a wetland, The grade is relatively steep ~d the flow is not staying within the easement and is causing erosion.

Kamacite Street and 148'h Lane/Avenue - There is substantial ponding on thecorrimon lot line between 7062 148th Lane and 7061148lh Avenue. Thi& storm water is generated from several contiguous private properties. Both property owners have expressed interest in resolving this issue. -6043 Highway J 0 ~ This building is the .former Parabody building on Highway 10 which is located immediately west of the Anoka~Hennepin Technical College parking lot. This . property has three catch basins located on its east side which have been designed to percolate stonn water into the sandy soil, These catch basins work' poorly and water stands for days after heavy rain or snow melt events. Several years ago astonn sewer was constructed through the north side of the property which transmits storm water from the 47
