Home My WebLink About06-01-1976 Council Minutes Special Meeting � • CITY OF ORONO � Special Meeting of the Orono Council, 8: 00 P.M. � June l, 1976 � The Orono Council met on the above date with � the following members present: Acting Mayor Massengale, Councilmembers Eutler, and Paurus. � Absent: Mayor Searles and Councilmember 6Velsh. � Mr. Rick Sathre, representing McCombs-Knutson, RYAN CONSTRUCTION City engineers, reviewed his memo dated June 1, Super Valu Store � 1976 stating that: � In accordance with the Council' s direction, we � have reviewed the site and grading plans for the subject project. The site in question, consisting � of roughly 3. 16 acres is proposed to be developed as a Super Valu retail store. � The site consists of two drainage areas, the f major drainage area whose drainage is to the • south and west along Kelly Avenue. This drainage area presently consists of approximately 2. 6 acres � with the remaining area of the site draining to County Roads #19 and #15 and thence to the east. ` The proposed grading plan for this site indicates that the new drainage break will occur between � the northerly and easterly property lines and the parking areas. This change in the drainage • p�ttern will result in an increase in the area • draining to Kelly Avenue. This change ir. drainage area will add a�proximately 0. 45 acres to the � Kelly Avenue area. As the Council and Staff are aware, the Kelly Avenue area presently is � experiencing drainage problems following periods of high runoff. Any revision to the normal � drainage pattern, therefore, will have a direct effect on the low lying areas to the south of � the site. With this in mind, we have attempted i to determine the relative effects of the proposed alterations on this drainage area. � As proposed, the parking lot encompasses 1. 55 acres � of the site, or approximately one half. The building occupies approximately 0. 37 acres of the � site. If we assume that the runoff from the parking lot and building is allowed to proceed unimpeded to � the Kelly Avenue area, it would result in an increase . of 80 to 85o in the runoff from the site. If building drainage is controlled and rainfall is stored on the � roof of the building, (no runoff from the structure itself occurs) the increase in runoff to the drainage � area following the construction of this �'acility would be in the range of 50 to 55%. (Continued) � � � � � � • • ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE l, 1976 Page 2 , In general, any development of the site which RYAN CONSTRUCTION requires the installation of hardcover, will Super Valu Store �increase the runoff to the Kelly Avenue area. (Continued) I'herefore, any measures that may be taken to a reduce the increase in runoff would be beneficial. We would therefore recommend that the building be • constructed such that rainfall onto the roof area • be retained to a depth of 3 to 4 inches on an average, and that this rain water be held and � normally be released by evaporation from the roof itself. A roof drain should be incorporated � into the design of the building, however, to release stored water in the fall of the year to prevent the � build up of extreme amounts of ice on the roof, and also to provide room for the storage of precipitation r during the winter months, thereby reducing the spring- S time runoff problem. � Temporary storage of water on the parking surface seems to be impractical due to the slopes encountered on the � site, and would at any rate, provide no positive benefit unless an outlet from the Kelly Avenue drainage area was � constructed. We would recommend however, that runoff be directed through storm sewer conduits from the parking area r to the low area to the south of the building, as an alternative • to overland drainage. 6Ve feel that the potential for erosion on the steep slopes proposed would be thereby decreased. � Any storm conduits should be designed and constructed in �ccordance with the P4innehaha Creek Watershed Districts' � requirements. � The grading plan calls for the seeding of the graded slope areas to the south and west of the proposed structure. � These areas as shown would be sloped to a maximum of 1 foot vertical to 2 feet horizontal. Due to the difficulty in � establishing ground cover on slopes of this steepness, we would recommend that all areas south and west of the � building which are distrubed should be restored by sodding • and staking of the sod. � The grading and construction of the parking areas will require modification of the existing sanitary sewer � and watermain presently in place on the site. The sanitary sewer manhole casting directly north of the � building will have to be adjusted to the finished parking lot elevation. In the area to the southeast of the � proposed structure, proposed grading will require • excavation above the existing watermain. It is our recommendation that the watermain be removed and � reinstalled with a minimum of 7 1/2 feet of cover over the pipe to prevent the freezing of the line. • End of letter (Continued) � f � � � � • • ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JUNE 1, 1976 Page 3 � Mayor Searles arrived at 8 :10 P.M. �r.
