• <br /> <br />February 6, 1980 Park Board ;'finutes <br />Page 4 <br />3. Uuild a large. storm sewer pipe to carry away al'1 <br />runoff with no ponding in the park. <br />This was discussed with the Watershed District <br />Engineer... He said that they have never permitted <br />that type of plan since their new standards went <br />into effect and it is extremely unlikely that they. <br />will in this case. <br />4. New. Storm sewer-pipes from the park to Silver Lake <br />Road and small pond in the northeast corner of the <br />park... <br />I believe that this alternative can be desi~;ned'to <br />meet the t~lakershed District°s criteria and would <br />have minimal impact on the park. The cost of this <br />alternative would be about $30 000.00. <br />5. Construct a pond on the vacant parcel to the south <br />of the shopping center. <br />This alternative. is impractical because the storm <br />sewer which serves this property is too high. Also <br />• it is owned by another private party and would be <br />extremely expensive to buy. <br />6. .Route the storm drainage to 29th Avenue. <br />This would be similar in all respects to alternative <br />number 3; also the sewer in 29th Avenue would not <br />have been designed for this extra water. <br />One resident commented that the area would always be soggy <br />if the park was used for water storage. <br />Jim DeBenedet, Engineer for RCE Corp., feels fencing is <br />not necessary. <br />Johnson stated that #3 appeals to him but the Watershed <br />District will not like it. <br />~rlestling liked #3 but asked if it would be possible to <br />get t~~atershed District approval. <br />DeBenedet answered probably no. <br />• <br /> <br />Susan Fitzpatrick stated she wants a park for small <br />children. Plan !~l makes a pit out of the park. There <br />is danger with 2~ feet of water present. If the developer <br />wants houses, etc., then the use of the land by private <br />owners should incur casts, not other residents or the city. <br />She is .not pleased with the dirty water that would be held <br />in the pond. Heavy rain occurs more often than once a year. <br />The .water would be a hazard. The park shouldn°t be a <br />holding pit for anything. <br />
