I I I I I I I I I I I I I I '1 I I CASE #,5 PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #99-67 (STORM SEWER FOR MISSISSIPPI RIVER STORMWATER SUBDRAINAGE DISTRICT NO. I) By: Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: Attached to this case is a copy of the feasibility study addressing the storm sewer needs for the Mississippi River Stormwater Subdrainage District No. 1. The feasibility study is a modification of a draft feasibility study that was reviewed with several of the property owners at a meeting held on December 20, 1999. The discharge of the storm sewer will be made to the Sunfish Lake storm sewer. This alternative proved to be less costly than four other alternatives that had been analyzed. Council will recall the establishment of this district and this project was precipitated by the need to install a storm sewer to facilitate the development of one of the benefited properties. This property owner has plans to initiate construction in Spring 2000. A key element of implementing this project will be to acquire the necessary easements to facilitate construction. If obtaining these easements by negotiation is not possible, they can be obtained through eminent domain. This process would be the critical element in implementing this project and would make late May 2000 the earliest possible construction start. Council Action: Following the public hearing, the Council may either accept the feasibility study as presented or may direct modifications. The Council should also consider whether to order plans and specifications and authorize negotiations for necessary easements for the project at this time.
