The property owner inquired what the City could do to help prevent <br />stormwater runoff from ponding in their back yard. <br />City Staff collected topographic survey data in late 2018 and early 2019, and prepared plans, specifications and cost <br />estimates for a drainage improvement project that includes re -grading the existing drainage swale along the south <br />property line of 15639 Hedgehog Street, directly across from 150 Lane NW. The ditch and proposed grading <br />improvements are located within an existing drainage easement that front several properties in the area. The City <br />will not need to acquire permanent easements to complete this work, but will obtain temporary easements for <br />purposes of construction. A copy of the plans prepared by Staff are attached for reference. <br />On September 24th, the City Council approved the plans prepared by Staff and authorized advertising for bids to <br />construct the project. <br />Notification: <br />Bids were advertised in the Anoka Union Herald on October 4, 2019. Bids were also advertised using QuestCDN <br />via the City's website. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />Observations: <br />Bids: <br />Bids were advertised in the Anoka Union Herald on October 4, 2019.
