I I I Council Meeting Minutes March 28, 1989 Page 9 Public Hearing, continued Public Hearing Berni e Condon, 1401'":',-16th Terrace NW, feels all streets in thi s Long Lake Area Street project should remain at the 24 foot width with parking banned on Improvement Project one side. He feels this proposal would reduce property damage and Report 89-84 be less expensive. Pritz Bredenback, 1449--15th Terrace NW, asked what type of curbing would be installed. Proper said six-inch high barrier type curbs are being proposed. Ed Casey, 1540--14th Avenue, will be assessed on the narrow portion of his lot, but asked if he would receive a credit for the previous bituminous curbing installed on 14th Avenue. Proper will investigate this issue. Chu:k Stark, vacant lot owner on 12th Avenue and 13th Street, feels thi5 area should be roll curb because of the future development of these lots. Benke stated that the preferance was that barrier curbs be installed and then at a later time the developer would install the driveways. Proper feels all curbing should be uniform and has fourd the residents feel comfortable with the barrier type curbing. Brandt asked if a device which effectively filters water going into the lake from the storm sewers could be investigated. Proper explained that the Rice Creek Watershed District requested the City install a storm sewer on 17th Avenue in 1976. This baffle system filters run-off before draining into the lake, but has been a maintenance problem for the City. Proper noted that the proposed storm sewer is a very small 10" pi pe. Benke suggested that additional rounds by the City sweeper may help alleviate the drainage problem. Warren Raiche, 1501--14th Avenue NW, said the storm sewer on his property has created many problems. Soapsuds from residents washing cars and other drainage have caused problems. Heavy rains cause as much as thl'ee feet of standi ng water at the end of the drai nage pipe, and creates a potential hazard to neighborhood children. Mr. Raiche suggested a drainage pipe running into Rice Creek from Long Lake Road. Proper felt running additional piping to Rice Creek may require easements and would be very expensive. . Mr. Kalkes made a request to the City to investigate alternatives to the proposed storm sewer. Brandt asked if additional amounts of water would result from the proposed storm !AWer and if possibly a ele\!aticn change may help. Proper verified the water flows in a nat~~al course and an increase in this water flow is not expected. Proper noted that another storm sewer would be installed to handle the water flow from Hipp'sPoint.
