Staff proposed adding Andre Street / 164 Lane, a 1.87 mile street segment to the city's MSA system illustrated on the attached figure 1. This segment meets the requirement of beginning and terminating on the existing system and this roadway functions as a local neighborhood collector. The street was constructed in 1985 and is over 20 years old and is eligible to collect full needs. It would still be necessary to revoke the mileage on portions of 142 Avenue and Traprock Street to be able to accommodate this mileage addition which is illustrated in figure 2. The City will be within 0.28 miles of the maximum allowed with these modifications. It was the recommendation of the Committee that Andrie Street from Alpine Drive to 164 Lane and 164 Lane from Andrie Street to Jarvis Street should be added to the City's MSA system. Action: Motion to ratify the recommendation of the Committee and adopt Resolution 07- 04 -XXX requesting that the City's MSA system be modified by adding Andrie Street from Alpine Case #7 Receive Request from Green Valley Greenhouse for Drainage Improvements Background: A letter dated March 16, 2007 was received from Mr. John Rowe of Green Valley Greenhouse requesting the city to address a drainage issue which exists along the portion of the property fronting along CR 63, Green Valley Road.. During the March snow melt event the Public Works Department provided equipment to pump the water several hundred feet to the south to a point where the water could flow by gravity to the Trott Brook. The Public Works Department has responded twice to this problem in the last five years. Although a drainage plan had been prepared by MFRA Associates, an engineering consulting firm hired by the greenhouse, the cost has prevented the greenhouse from implementing it due to its high cost. Staff has prepared a cursory review of the area surrounding the greenhouse property a concluded that drainage from the County Highway is not a significant source of the ponding problem which is primarily from 24 acres of the greenhouse property having impervious surfaces. Motion to direct staff to assist the greenhouse in identifying lower cost alternatives to eliminate the emergency pumping. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. Case #8 Ramsey Elementary School Safety and Transportation Issues Background: The principal of Ramsey Elementary school reported a safety concern associated with parents and students crossing Nowthen Blvd directly across the trail stub coming west from the end of
