LpLAj 716 <br />MEMO <br />TO: Lloyd Schnelle, City Administrator <br />FROM: Peter Raatikka, City Engineer <br />DATE: February 21, 1984 <br />RE: Drainage Problem at 162nd Avenue and Zirconium Street <br />As discussed this morning, I have been contacted by Del Skeim in <br />regard to the drainage problem on parcel 1895 as shown on the <br />attached map. <br />At the time this area was platted and the streets constructed, <br />drainage from parcel 1895 flowed south through a culvert under 162nd <br />Avenue and along a ditch on parcel 2130 to County Ditch No. 3. <br />Later Mr. Menkveld filled the ditch on parcel 2130 and constructed <br />a house. This blocked the drainage from parcel 1895. <br />Mr. Skeim has recently constructed a house on parcel 1895 and has <br />proposed to deed to the City the drainage easement as shown on the <br />attached map. However, he is also requesting that the City install <br />a dry well on his property to minimize ponding of water. <br />A dry well would be a relatively inexpensive solution which could <br />operate for a number of years provided it is maintained. However, a <br />permanent solution to the problem would be to construct storm sewer <br />between parcels 2110 and 2130 or 2130 and 2140 and drain the area to <br />County Ditch No. 3. <br />Please place this item on the agenda for council action. <br />City Attorney Goodrich has informed me that even though Mr. Skeim's <br />house is not subject to the City could be held liable for <br />on his land. <br />
