Case #3: Update on 149th Avenue Storm Sewer Project The 2000 C~ has anticipated the construction of storm sewer in the vicinity of 149th Avenue and T.H. #47 at a budgeted cost of $192,000. This storm sewer system will address two current problems in addition to providing an outlet for the wetland system on west side of the T.H. #47. One existing problem addressed by this project will be to provide relief for the residence at 5260 149th Avenue from flooding during large rainfall events. A second issue is to resolve the relatively slow rate at which the wetland system drains after a large rainfall. In the past residents south of t 50th Lane have had soggy lawns for an extended period of time following heavy rainfalls. Two solutions were presented to the Public Works Committee. Option A would solve the residence flooding problem by placing an outlet pipe for the small storm water pond at the corner of T.H.#47 and 149'~ Avenue at an estimated cost of $36,250. Option B would cure the flooding problem addressed in Option A, and would also empty the wetland system to the 150th Lane lawn elevation within 17 hours following a 100 year storm event. This second option is estimated at a cost of $125,000 (the cost and drain times are sligl~tly different than presented in the prepared Pubtic Works case). The Committee recommended that plans and specifications be directed for Option B. Council Action: Motion to ratify the Committee recommendatio.n..
