5. 6. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 05/28/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title Adopt Resolution#24-123 Approving Plans and Authorizing Advertisements for Bids for Improvement Project #24-04, Ford Brook Estates Drainage Improvements Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-123 approving plans and specifications and authorizing advertisements for bids for Improvement Project#24-04, Ford Brook Estates Drainage Improvements. Background: For several years the residents at 5725 180th Lane NW have voiced concerns with stormwater runoff that backs up into their property from the drainage ditch in City right-of-way north of 180th Lane NW. They first shared these concerns with Staff during the design and construction of the 2019 City Improvement Project#19-01, Ford Brook Estates Street Reconstructions,which addressed only minor drainage improvements as part of the street reconstruction project. After the project was complete, Staff informed the property owners that if they wanted the City to address their larger drainage concerns Staff could explore drainage improvement options and present them to the Public Works Committee for consideration of further action. On September 19, 2023, Staff presented attached case#14569 to the Public Works Committee including preliminary design plans that proposed construction of an underground storm sewer system North of 180th Lane and West of Highway 47 to convey stormwater runoff collected within drainage ditches along both sides of 180th Lane and Krypton Street, and also from the low-lying area partially within MnDOT right-of-way on the West side of Highway 47 and partially on the East side of the property at 18013 Krypton Street,to an outlet to the Ford Brook in the City of Nowthen. The proposed drainage improvements provide positive drainage to prevent stormwater runoff from temporarily ponding near the Southeast corner of the property at 5725 180th Lane NW and backing up into the yard through a swale in the front yard. And as directed by the Public Works Committee, improvements are proposed to provide an outlet for stormwater runoff that temporarily ponds West of Highway 47 on the East side of the property at 18013 Krypton Street NW. It should be noted that no right-of-entry or easements will be required for this work as MnDOT right-of-way along Highway 47 is 120 feet wide so all storm sewer along Highway 47 can be constructed within MnDOT right-of-way, and the low-lying area East of 18013 Krypton Street extends into MnDOT right-of-way.
