HRA Regular Session 5. 2. Meeting Date: 06/14/2011 By: Heidi Nelson, Administrative Services Title: Consider Grading and Turf Establishment in RTC 12th Addition Background: The plat of RTC 12th Addition includes the u-shaped parcel that is guided for townhome style residential development. The grading that was previously completed by the former master developer of RTC, graded the lots for walk -out style townhomes. Turf was not formally established on the site to prevent erosion at the time of grading. Erosion continues to be an issue in this area often depositing soil on the paved trail that runs along Bunker Lake Boulevard. Staff did place a silt fence along the slope of the site, however, the erosion has become a greater problem than the silt fence can prevent. Staff is proposing to re -grade the sloped area, maintaining the walk -out grading of the lots, with in-house staff and equipment and soil that is available within The COR. The flat graded area is proposed to be seeded with in-house staff and equipment. Seed for the flat grade seeding would need to be purchased. Staff is proposing that private contractor be utilized to hydroseed the sloped area to ensure stability of the grade. Staff anticipates the cost of the seeding work (contracted and purchased seed) to be $10,000. Recommendation: Staff recommends the HRA authorize grading work in 12th Addition and expenditure of HRA funds for seed and hydroseeding not to exceed $10,000. Funding Source: HRA fund balance, to be reimbursed with land proceeds. Council Action: HRA Action: Authorize grading work in 12th Addition and expenditure of HRA funds for seed and hydroseeding not to exceed $10,000. 12th Addition Site Map photo 1 photo 2 photo 3 12th Addition Re -grade plan Attachments Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Heidi Nelson (Originator) Heidi Nelson 06/09/2011 04:03 PM Form Started By: Heidi Nelson Started On: 06/09/2011 03:04 PM Final Approval Date: 06/09/2011
