^ • <br />die back yard as it currently does. This should allow the water to get past the house and garage and <br />reduce the ponded water in the front yard, and rock lined swale, for most storms. In large storms <br />vdien the diaintile is flowing full, the excess water will still flow across the yard and swale. <br />We have solicited quotations from contractors for this work and the lowest quotation was from <br />Norling Landscaping of Spring Park in the amount $4,627.00. We have worked with this firm on <br />several projects and they are very good to work with. This firm also has worked for the property <br />owners on previous projects, and the property owners are comfortable with Norling Landscaping <br />completing this project. We will obtain a dndnage easement from the property owner to complete <br />this project. <br />Our recommendation is that completion of this project with stormwater utility funds is appropriate <br />because of the large drainage area, and the amount of public street runoff that flows through this <br />property. This property is substantially impacted by the large amount of storm water drainage <br />through the middle of the properly, and the property owners have already spent a considerable <br />amount of their own money to solve this problem. The concept of an assessment project to solve <br />this problm is not a realistic option because the upstream properties in the drainage area are not <br />experietKing arqr adverse impacts and therefore have no incentive to support an assessment project. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Accept quotation in the amount of $4,627.00 from Norling’s Lake Minnetonka Landscaping, Spring <br />Park Minnesota, for completion of the drainage project at 3572 Livingston Avenue. Project to be <br />funded from the Stormwater Utility Fund with the appropriate budget adjustment also approved. <br />Page 2 of 2
