S I'D REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: August 23,2004 ITEM NO.: \ Department Approval: Name Gregory A. Gappa Title Director of Public Scr\’iccs Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: Public Services Director’s Report Item Description: Accept Quotation Birch Lane Drainage Recommended Project Based on the uncertainty of obtaining easements required for project construction, in a timely manner, and the quotes received for this project, our recommendation is for the completion of this project in two stages as described below. The first phase would be to reconstruct Birch Lane with concrete curb in order to provide improved drainage of the water to the Baldur Park Road intersection. The street would be graded to split the drainage to both sides of the street to provide for more gutter flow capacity. There are currently problems with water draining from the street into yards and garages along the south side of Birch Lane. Construction of the first phase of the project this year is crucial to alleviate the current problems with street water draining across private properties. Catch basins will be installed on both the north and south sides of Birch Lane at the Baldur Park Road intersection and the this water w ill then drain to the south into Crystal Bay through an existing pipe system until the second phase of the project is constructed next year after the necessary ’ easements have been obtained. Completion of the second phase will allow for drainage from the north side of Birch Lane to North Arm Bay by the installation of a 10” pipe in the City right of way on the west side of Baldur Park Road to a point 150 feet north of the intersection and then construction of a drainage swale because the ground elevations are to low continue the pipe. This swale would continue north along the road right of way then cross a small privately owned unbuildable parcel to drain the water into the wetland adjacent to North Arm Bay. 1 have had several phone conversations regarding a drainage easement with the owner of the small vacant parcel, who lives in Washington State. Although this lot is platted 250 feet out into the wetland, this parcel only has about 1,500 square feet of area above the 929.4 contour, which is all within the 75 ’ setback zone. The owner expressed concerns about an easement Page 1 of 3
