-76- <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated there is a need for an outlet for all four developments. <br /> <br />Councilmember I-Iendriksen asked if storm sewer has to go down 155th Lane. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated it is being proposed due to the alignment shown in the Comprehensive <br />Plan and updated by Hakanson Anderson. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if it has to go down 155th Lane. He stated he understands the <br />thought that it would be good to do it all at the same time but asked if there are other alignment <br />options. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated he believes this is the best alignment and other options would cost <br />more. He stated he does not know if it is feasible for the storm sewer to go down356th Lane <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked about areas to the south, <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated to the east it outlets into Highlands at River Park. The difficulty is <br />that the distance between the outlet being proposed and the current outlet in place for Highlands <br />at River Park is so far that the grade was next to nothing, so physical constraints were a <br />consideration. He stated the routing down Alpine Drive or connection to this wetland system <br />would be extremely more expensive. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if there are other options paralleling 155th Street south of <br />those property lines and utilizing any drainage and utility easements that might exist on those <br />properties, if there are any. This would avoid digging up the street and inconveniencing these <br />residents. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated there are no drainage and utility easements so they would have to be <br />purchased. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen asked if there is a way to avoid tearing up 155th Lane by coming out <br />of the west side. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated he does not believe there are drainage and .utility easements and having <br />to use the eminent domain process would put the project into next year. He stated there are <br />additional benefits to having the storm sewer in place, He noted drainage now goes directly into a <br />wetland and providing the outlet to this sedimentation area would eliminate the direct discharge <br />and increase the water quality. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated he has not studied this for months but wants to consider all the <br />options. He stated a comment from staff that they do not "believe" there are easements in place <br />makes him question whether staffis 100% positive or there may be easements, jr <br /> <br />City Council/July 23, 2002 <br />Page 11 of 30 <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> i <br /> <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I' <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
