<br />City Engineer Les Proper presented the recommended option and proposed funding to
<br />resolve the Kari Ln. and Long Lk. Rd, flooding situation. The Barr Engineering
<br />proposed option involves the installation of a 60-inch arch pipe relief storm sewer from
<br />the low point on Long Lk. Rd. west of Kari Ln. to the Pike Lk. channel box culvert; and
<br />installation of high capacity catch basins on the box culvert to intercept drainage from
<br />the south. This option meets the la-year level of service for storm sewers and the 100-
<br />year level of protection for the Kari Ln. homes, The residents support this option.
<br />
<br />A small berm will be installed on the southeast corner of 14th St. and 16th Ave. to keep
<br />running water from jumping the curb and flowing into the low area between Kari Ln,
<br />and 16th Ave, The berm will be located on the City boulevard and cost less than $500.
<br />A restriction prohibiting filling or building in the low area will be initiated, and residents
<br />would sign a declaration of covenant for any lot portions below elevation 870,0.
<br />
<br />The total estimated project cost is $256,600, and the City is pursing two funding
<br />sources, One source is a Hazardous Mitigation Grant through the Minnesota
<br />Department of Public Safety, Another possibility is funding through special legislation
<br />which Fulton will schedule time with State Senator Steve Novak to discuss. The fall
<br />back plan includes a combination of the City Storm Water Utility Fund and City and
<br />County State Aid funds. County and City State Aids could be utilized for up to 55 % of
<br />the total project cost.
