I ! NORTI Background: CASE # tFORK GRADING PERMIT/ANDRIE STREET DRAINAGE By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer At the July 11, 1995 meeting, the Council approved a conditional use permit for the grading of four lots in the N0rthfork Links Addition. This permit was contingent upon fulfilling a term which required that a drainage deficiency along Andrie Street be solved prior to commencement of the grading. The pertnit was also granted with an expiration date of September 30, 1995. You may recall rat Andrie Street becomes flooded during intense rainfall periods due to the lengthy distance 9~hich drainage must travel overland from Andrie Street and 153rd Avenue until it reaches the fa'st qatch basin on Andrie Street. Currently, this is a distance of nearly 1800 feet, which is over 2-1/2 times the desired maximum distance of 700 feet. The North Fork, i Inc. Engineer, Gerald Floden, has proposed resolving this problem with the installation of tW, o sets of catch basins and the extension of storm sewer for a distance of approximately 900 feet south of the existing catch basin on Andrie Street. It is my opinion that this storm sewer will ~eliminate the intermittent flooding problem along Andrie Street. The plan also provides for the dl'ainage of the back yards of the lots located on the west side of Andrie Street. Observations: There are several issues which need to be addressed in this case. The Council should acknowledge and concur that the drainage deficiency associated on Andrie Street will be remedied through this proposal. A second issue concerns the issue of the conditional use permit expiration date. The permit granted a 2;-1/2 month period for completing the grading. The work was delayed to resolve the drainage issue. With the drainage resolved, construction could be completed by mid-June 1996. The CounCil should consider whether the ensuing 11-month period is a reasonable period for allowing completion of the terms of the original conditional use permit or whether another public hearing is nleeded. Finally, the issue has been raised regarding the cost of the work to remediate drainage. The City's position on this is that the developer should have been made to install these additional catch basins at the time of the original road construction. The Developer's position is that in,stalling them now represents an increased cost over installing them with the construction of tho. street. A compromise position to resolve this would be for the City to pick up the costs of bituminous removal and pavement and turf restoration. This cost is estimated to be $5,000. Council Action: ot o /a=y to.J~q~ 1, 1996 an~l authorizing a City contribution of $5,000 toward restoration costs associated with the improved i:lrainage on Andrie Street.
