Case # <br /> <br />CONSIDER REQUEST TO REMOVE DRAINAGE POND AT 5907 151sT LANE <br /> By Seven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />l~ackground: <br /> <br />Attached to this case is an October 7, 2005 from Karla Weiss requesting the'removal of a <br />storm water drainage pond from her property located at 5907 151st Lane. Mrs. Weiss is <br />concerned about the presence of the p.ond as a potential safety hazard. A location map has <br />also been attached which illustrates her property, the pond, and nearby wetland to which <br />Mrs, Weiss would like the drainage redirected. <br /> <br />This pond has been a part of the drainage plan for the area since being-developed in 1989 <br />as a part of the Haubrich subdivision. The ponding area is covered with a drainage and <br />utility easement. The City currently has approximately 90 such ponds in place to receive <br />atqd treat storm water prior to discharge to natural wetlands and streams. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends denial of this request. This pond represents no greater safety hazard <br />than any of the other storm water detention ponds located throughout the city. The <br />removal of the pond would be a considerable expense. The drainage and utility easement <br />would still likely be required in the event the water level in the wetland would rise in. the <br />ew:nt of flooding. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend to the city council denial of the request to remove the existing <br />drainage pond. <br /> <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Brian <br />Grant <br /> <br /> <br />
