Case #2 Review Pondvale Feasibility Study Background: Upon recommendation from the Committee the City Council directed staff to revise the Pondvale feasibility study and provide additional information as follows: 1) Consider segmenting the project into two areas with the division point being roughly the intersection of Helium Street and 150 Lane; 2) Research the drainage and utility easement on the Asmussen property to determine whether it is temporary until sewer and water become available; 3) Provide a breakdown of costs to allow the Committee to consider the impacts of the City picking up a share of the project costs. The purpose of this case is to report back on these issues and seek direction prior to further contact with the project property owners. Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to present the three options outlined in the Pondvale feasibility study to the property owners, and to offer the option to Mr. Murphy that the City take on the costs associated with increasing the road width from 32 feet to 38 feet, with Mr. Murphy to be assessed for sewer and water costs to service his properties and reimbursed when there are hook ups. Action: Ratify the recommendation of the Public Works Committee. COMMITTEE INPUT Change Name of Water Resources Management Plant to Comprehensive Storm Water Plan At the present time the City has two significant planning efforts in progress. The Water Resources Management Plan is being conducted by the engineering firm of Bolton & Menk, Inc. and is intended to provide a comprehensive model of our existing storm sewer system and the future needs of that system as development occurs. However it also contains a significant element, which involves the classification of the remaining .wetlands, which were not ground - truthed under the previous work conducted by Westwood Professional Services in 2006. In addition the City is currently preparing a Natural Resource Inventory, which is being conducted by Boonestro & Associates. The field work elements associated with these studies have been confused, and the word "resources" in each of them also tends to make them less distinguishable fr om one another. Staff proposes to hereafter refer to the Water Resources Management Plan simply as the Comprehensive Storm Water Plan as this title is more descriptive of the purpose of the plan.
