PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The developer of Vintage Estates Subdivision is going to construct the last phase of the development. This phase includes the construction of a storm drain pond within the park area. The pond will outfall into the Big Ditch for which the developer has attained an agreement with the ditch company. The outfall will be located between Lots 2 and 3, Block 8. Easements are necessary to construct this outfall. These easements will allow the city to maintain the outfall in the future if it becomes necessary.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The City Council may:
- Accept the easements; or
- Do not accept the easements. If no outfall is constructed, it will take longer for the pond to drain after storms which reduces capacity for subsequent storms.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no significant financial impact with acceptance of these drainage easements.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the drainage easements for Lots 2 & 3, Block 8, Vintage Estates Subdivision.
