Councilmember Elvig recalled that the triangle piece was important to get drainage going but he does not remember why it stopped progression. He stated he thought they were contemplating use of the triangle piece as the holding pond and not running it through because there was a building restriction on that piece. Councilmember Elvig noted if the triangle piece is not developed and used as a holding pond, it would lower the cost. Civil Engineer II Linton stated the intention was to continue it and develop the west half of the project; however, the developer ran out of money and ceased to do business. He noted the pipe was underground and a relief valve was needed so the road is not flooded. Councilmember McGlone stated he is puzzled why a pipe was put under a County road but not installed all the way. He asked how the City and /or County allowed that to happen, noting the City held a letter of credit. Civil Engineer II Linton stated they got permission to open cut the County road for sewer and water installation and it was hinted strongly to do the storm sewer while the road was open. Chairperson Backous noted it is a moot point and suggested moving on. Councilmember McGlone asked if we need to continue the pipe or if the triangle piece can be a drainage ditch. He asked if there is reason to get water south of Bunker Lake Boulevard and continue it. Development Manager Lazan suggested staff look at those issues, investigate, and come back with a recommendation. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to recommend that the City Council approve Supplemental Agreement #1 for a trail width of ten feet and to extend the curb to the south 126 feet to prevent runoff from Armstrong Boulevard from sheet flowing onto the proposed parking area in the COR TWO, estimated at $5,001. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Backous, Councilmembers Elvig, and McGlone. Voting No: None. Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to recommend that the City Council direct staff to perform further analysis to evaluate the contemplated development patterns in the overall drainage area, associated runoff rates and volumes, and required storm sewer pipe sizes. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Backous, Councilmembers McGlone, and Elvig. Voting No: None. Interim Engineer Nelson presented the issue relating to Connexus installing an electric cabinet that obstructs the proposed development signage for COR TWO and request for $10,000 to cover the cost to relocate the cabinet.
