CASE # I <br />CONSIDER POLICY REGARDING <br />LINED POND MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITIES <br />By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br />Background: <br />The utilization of storm water ponds has evolved into a basic element of subdivision <br />design. Many of the storm water ponds constructed within the City are constructed below <br />the water table making them normally wet ponds which provides an aesthetic benefit to <br />the subdivision. For those ponds which cannot be constructed into the water.table there is <br />an increasing desire to achieve the aesthetic function of open surface water by installing <br />an impermeable lining for ponds which would otherwise be dry as a result of percolation <br />through the sandy soils. <br />This topic was discussed by the Public Works Committee on May 15, 2007 and it was <br />recommended by the City Council that a policy be prepared and adopted. The purpose of <br />this case is to translate the direction offered by City Council on this issue into the <br />attached policy. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the attached Policy on the Construction and Maintenance of Lined <br />Ponds be adopted. <br />Action: <br />Motion to recommend to City Council that the Policy on the Construction and !. <br />Maintenance of Lined Ponds be adopted. <br />Reviewed By: <br />Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br />Engineering Technician IV <br />PW: 06/19/07 <br />-1.46- <br />
