Because a number of streets around Irondale are posted with two hour parking signs, staff feels there is no problem with the posting of similar signs on Long Lake Court. Benke asked if the petition reflects an increase in student parking. Proper feels the street was overlooked. and is now being used for student parking. Proper feels the existing signage is working. Benke suggested staff meet with school officials to discuss school parking policies, Larson noted the need for consistency when signing streets specifically referring to 25th St. which is signed differently, Benke agrees and for that reason the parking situation should be investigated. Motion by Williams, seconded by Rebelein. to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION POSTING TWO HOUR PARKING 8:00 A,M. TO 4:00 P.M. SCHOOL DAYS, ON LONG LAKE COURT. 5 Ayes - 0 Nayes, Motion Carried. Proper presented the feasibility study on Oakwood Drive drainage problem. In September 1991. the residents of 389 and 391 Oakwood Drive requested the City correct a drainage problem on Oakwood Drive. The properties are located at the low point of Oakwood Drive and floods during most rainfalls, overtopping the curb and flowing across the yards to low land in the back. Approximately 25 acres of land along Oakwood Drive from Haines Avenue to Silver Lane contribute storm water drainage to the problem area. The existing system does not have adequate capacity, and as a result. the low point in front of 389 and 391 Oakwood Drive floods and overflows. The storm sewer on Silver Lane which the Oakwood Drive system drains into has sufficient capacity to handle the entire drainage area. The Oakwood Drive storm sewer was installed with the curbing and surfacing in 1964. Staff was unable to find design information on the 15 inch storm sewer and cannot determine if it was intended to serve all the land presently draining to it, The 391 Oakwood Drive house was constructed in 1984. Prior to that time drainage flowed across the vacant lot without creating problems. Analysis indicates the existing 1 5 inch storm sewer from 3rd Street to Silver Lane does not have adequate capacity for the area draining into it. It will need to be replaced with a 27 inch storm sewer between 3rd Street and the low point, and a 30 inch storm sewer from the low point to Silver Lane.
