Meeting Date: 02/23/2016 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title: Adopt Resolution #16-02-040 Accepting Feasibility Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #16-36, Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to consider adopting Resolution #16-02-040 accepting the Feasibility Report and ordering Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project #16-36, Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements. Background: The City of Ramsey developed Business Park 95. As part of the original development an existing low area was set aside for minimal stormwater ponding with no outlet controls. Available City records indicate that this ponding area was intended to be increased in capacity and that an outlet was to be constructed in the future when warranted by development. To date, the ponding capacity has not been increased and no outlet has been constructed even though the business park is now almost fully developed. The recent business expansion of Dedicated Networks disturbed more than one (1) acre, necessitating a Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) Permit. The site was not large enough to accommodate the building expansion and increased stormwater ponding. The developer therefore approached the City about enlarging the existing ponding area to accept the runoff from the new building expansion. The stormwater management plan for Dedicated Networks provided for infiltration of runoff from the new impervious surfaces, with ponding provided in the adjacent regional pond. The permit was approved by the LRRWMO Board with the condition that an outlet be provided for the pond in 2016. The proposed pond capacity and outlet improvements will be designated as Improvement Project #16-36; Business Park 95 Regional Stormwater Pond Improvements. Notification: No notifications are required for this case. Observations/Alternatives:
