Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrator John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Director February 5, 1990 Highwood Storm Sewer .<2 ( C'2590.IHDrr-<~. 1 i> . ..‘ •- w' 1 .J I ‘ V. V.' U' 7AS a result of the July 1987 Super Storm, the City of Orono received a petition to perform a feasibility study from the residents in the Highwood Road area.The feasibility study determined that a storm sewer could be installed directing the run-off through one of two routes. One option would be to increase the size of the existing pipe to handle more flow, the other option would be to construct a new line through an existing alley (see attached).When the affected residents were notified of the options and costs, the project was not well received. <br />Staff was then directed by Council to review the matter further <br />to be sure there were no options over looked. City Engineer Glenn <br />Cook and I have met with the directly affected property owners and <br />have as an alternative suggest the following be done: <br />1. Attempt to acouire drainage easements over the existing storm <br />sewer. <br />2. Construct a catch basin with overflow at a point where the <br />existing City pipe ends at Highwood Road and the private line <br />starts. The cost to construct a catch basin is approximately <br />$500.00 and would be funded through the Public Works Maintenance <br />Budget. This work could be completed during the summer of 1990. <br />3. Construct a retention pond in the drainage area on City <br />property in the northeastern part of the drainage basin. The <br />cost to construct a retent: n pond would be approximately <br />$5,000.00 and could be funded through the Public Works <br />Maintenance Budget. This work could be completed in 1991. <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrate <br />Attachments: A.) Highwood Memo Dated 1/5/89 <br />B.)
