LANOL LEICHTY, WATER RESOURCES COORDINATOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1997
WATER RESOURCES CAPIT AL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
AUGUST 4, 1997
AGENDA #:
PREP ARED BY:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND:
There have been certain changes which staff feel warrants changes
in the 1997 Water Resources Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
Following is a list showing two items to be added to the 1997 C.I.P.
as well as two items which are recommended for deferral.
Sand Point Park Water Qualitv Pond: This project was originally
scheduled in the 1997 C.I.P. to be constructed in 1998. This project
is recommended for 1997 construction due to grant funding that the
Watershed District has available through the EP A. A 50% cost
share is available for this project, since it improves the quality of
water flowing into Prior Lake. Moving this project up saves money
and expedites a water quality improvement for the lake.
Main Street Storm Sewer Improvement: This project is
recommended for addition in 1997 due to the flooding problem that
has been occurring near a home located at 16100 Evanston Avenue.
This home is located near a low spot of a drainage area that requires
a culvert under T.H. 13 to operate under pressure conditions in
order to drain properly. This property has experienced basement
t100ding twice within the past year and has continual yard flooding
each time a hard rain occurs. Investigation into the problem shows
that a downstream culvert is smaller than the one under T.H. 13,
which magnifies the problem.
Fish Point Park Channel Stabilization: Due to the difficulty of
acquiring easements from a land owner who lives in Alaska, this
project is recommended to be moved to the 1998 C.I.P. schedule.
This will allow additional time to work out final design issues while
dealing long distance with the property owner.

Cates Street/Dutch Avenue Channel Stabilization: A control
structure is scheduled to be installed on a channel tributary to the
Cates St./Dutch Ave. channel as part of the Eagle Creek Estates
Assisted Living Facility project. Also, a culvert or bridge is
planned to be constructed as part of that project which will provide
a crossing for a planned trail way from Five Hawks. Due to the
uncertainty of the development timing for the Eagle Creek Estates
project we recommend that this stabilization project be rescheduled
to 1998.
The addition of the Main Street Storm Sewer project in 1997 will
help relieve an immediate flooding problem. The transferring of the
Fish Point Park and Cates St./Dutch Ave. channel stabilization
projects into the 1998 C.I.P. for construction will not defer any
flooding problems, but will extend the timing of improving eroding
channels back another year.
The original 1997 Water Resources C .I.P. which was approved by
the Council totaled $138,000.00 in projects. All funding was
derived from the storm water management fund. The proposed
amendment would total $100,000.00. A comparison is shown
below:
Original 1997 C.I.P. Project List:
Proiect
Bluff Heights Storm Sewer
North Shore/Sand Point Storm Sewer
Fish Point Park Channel Stabilization
Cates St./Dutch Ave. Channel Stabilization
Amount
$15,000
$30,000
$45,000
$48,000
Total= $138,000
Amended 1997 C.I.P. Project List:
Proiect
Bluff Heights Storm Sewer
North Shore/Sand Point Storm Sewer
Main Street Storm Sewer
Sand Point Park Pond
Amount
$15,000
$30,000
$45,000
$10,000
Total= $100,000
The two projects deleted, Fish Point Park and Cates/Dutch Ave.
Channel Stabilization, will be moved into the 1998 C.I.P.
construction schedule. These changes have been addressed in the
1998 CIP schedule. There will be no significant impact financially
upon the 1998 funding of projects.
