Resolution adopted and upon ap- proval by Mayor, assigned Ip. 25067. - 2 - 71709 - Fedon Petrides of Brice, Petrides & Associates, Inc. reported that Studies have been conducted in the Delane Avenue drainage basin to 1) Determine the adequacy of the existing storm sewer system and, 2) Determine the floodplain and floodway areas of the stream from Ridgeway Avenue to U. S. Highway 63 and review improvements to reduce flooding in this area. Analysis of the storm sewer system revealed two problem areas. The first problem area is a deficient storm sewer in Loralin Drive which causes water to pond at the in- tersection of Loralin Drive and Rachael Street. It was recommended that a surface greenway improvement be constructed to solve this problem. The second storm sewer problem area is caused by deficient storm sewers from Crestview Drive to Rosehill Terrace and from Rose- hill Terrace to Meadow Lane. These deficiencies cause water to pond in Crestview Drive and Rosehill Terrace just north of Meadow Lane. It was recommended that a new storm sewer be constructed from the low point in Crestview Drive to the intersection of Meadow Lane and Rosehill Terrace and that surface drainage from each low area be improved. The total cost of all storm sewer improvements is estimated at $78,400. The analysis of the floodplain and flood - way from Ridgeway Avenue to U. S. Highway 63 resulted in recommenda- tions for new culverts at Ridgeway Avenue, West Fourth Street, and U. S. Highway 63 and a new storm sewer under Delane Avenue. The estimated cost of the new culverts is $281,000, part of which may be paid by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The new storm sewer under Delane Avenue had an estimated cost of $1,200,000. A discussion followed. Moved by Wilharm, seconded by Dowie that the above report be received and placed on file.
