Civil Engineer II Linton stated the City negotiated a series of drainage and utility easements to <br />convey the water from the commercial node across the golf course. He explained that up- sizing <br />this 18 -inch pipe is the City's obligation because it handles storm water. <br />Councilmember Elvig asked about the size of the pipe. <br />Civil Engineer II Linton stated the City reimbursed the golf course for installation of the pipe <br />that was completed to the City's specifications; however, he has not found the plan for the pipe <br />installation. <br />Councilmember McGlone stated he had previously asked if this involved a private drainage <br />system. <br />Motion by Chairperson Backous, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to recommend that the <br />City Council move forward with storm water improvements at the Rum River Hills Golf Course, <br />direct staff to bring plans and specifications to the September 25, 2012, meeting for approval and <br />authorization to advertise for bids, and notification to property owners within 350 feet. <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig asked about clean up issues and if this involves areas <br />of debris that need to be addressed. He asked if those costs would be shared. Civil Engineer II <br />Linton used a map to describe the alignment of the pipe and area mentioned by Councilmember <br />Elvig. Bob Gore, Rum River Hills Golf Course, stated it is very expensive to replace the green <br />and takes several years to restore but going through a temporary T -box would be an option. <br />Interim Engineer Wagner stated he had met with Jeff and Dick Tolette on this matter and they <br />liked this design. He stated he has seen the area with the shrubs that was mentioned by <br />Councilmember Elvig, noting it is irrigated and mowed. He stated the trees to be removed are <br />large but Poplar and towards the end of their lives. The golf course could move the smaller Ash <br />trees, if desired. Interim Engineer Wagner described the drainage flow and stated the proposed <br />design keeps the course in play and is supported by the golf course. He reported that some <br />neighbors may want the dike removed but the golf course may want the dike to remain as a <br />property divider. The Committee discussed and supported providing written notification to <br />property owners within 350 feet, even if not a Statutory requirement. Interim Engineer Wagner <br />stated this project would take a 100 -year event from four plus days down to two days. <br />Chairperson Backous stated notification can be made to property owners but the City Council <br />will be considering this item at its September 25, 2012, meeting. Civil Engineer II Linton used a <br />map to point out areas that could be the responsibility of the golf course since they are not within <br />the City's easement. Interim Engineer Wagner advised that he estimated a cost of $3- $4,000 for <br />golf course work. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Backous, Councilmembers McGlone, and Elvig. <br />Voting No: None. <br />5.08: Sunwood Drive Project — Supplemental Agreement #1, Change Order #2 and <br />Connexus Relocation Charges <br />Interim Engineer Nelson presented Supplemental Agreement #1. <br />Public Works Committee / September 18, 2012 <br />Page 8 of 16 <br />
