UPDATE ON DOWNTOWN STORMWATER STUDY
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to update the City Council on progress on
the Downtown Stormwater Study.
Historv
Earlier this year the City Council authorized the 2008-2009 stormwater
planning project meant to create a plan for capital improvement of, and
redevelopment standards for stormwater management systems in the
downtown area and create a plan for stormwater management for the Markley
Lake sub-watershed.
Current Circumstances
Today the selected consultant will present preliminary information on the study
and take direction from Council prior to finalizing the Study.
Because the lakes in the City are culturally and economically vital to its
citizens, the City holds the protection if it's water resources paramount. The
goal of 2008-2009 stormwater planning process is to thoughtfully guide
upstream development with the goal to preserve and improve water quality.
Bonestroo, Inc. will present information on required water quality parameters
and how they can be met using innovative urban practices for stormwater
management. Potential funding options for capital improvements will be
discussed as well as how urban stormwater practices can fit into the unique
streetscape aesthetic of downtown Prior Lake.
