Case #2: Northfork Grading Permit/Andrie Street Drainage Mayor Hardin announced he would abstain from discussion and voting on this case. City Engineer Jankowski stated that at the July 11, 1995 meeting, City Council approved a conditional use permit for the grading of four lots in the Northfork Links Addition. This permit was contingent upon fulfilling a term which required that a drainage deficiency along Andrie Street be solved prior to commencement of the grading. The permit had an expiration date of September 30, 1995. He reported that Andrie Street becomes flooded during intense rainfall periods due to the lengthy distance which drainage must travel overland from Andrie Street and 153rd Avenue until it reaches the first catch basin on Andrie Street. Currently this is a distance of nearly 1,800 feet; the desired maximum distance is 700 feet. The North Fork engineer has proposed resolving this problem with the installation of two sets of catch basins and the extension of storm sewer for a distance of approximately 900 feet south of the existing catch basin on Andrie Street. Mr. Jankowski stated he is of the opinion that this storm sewer will eliminate the intermittent flooding problem along Andrie Street. The plan also provides for the drainage of the back yards of the lots located on the west side of Andrie Street. He explained that with the drainage issue resolved, construction could be completed by mid-June 1996. The issue has been raised regarding the cost of the work to remediate drainage. The City's position is that the developer should have been made to install these additional catch basins at the time of the original road construction. The Developer's position is that installing them now represents an increased cost over installing them with the construction of the street. He suggested a compromise position to resolve this would be for the City to pick up the costs of bituminous removal and pavement and turf restoration. This cost is estimated to be $5,000. Councilmember Peterson inquired what an adequate time frame would be. Dennis Peck, representing North Fork, Inc., felt they could get started when the road restrictions are removed and an extension to August 1 should be sufficient. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to approve amending the conditional use permit extending the grading completion date to August 1, 1996, for the City Council/April 9, 1996 Page 5 of 17
