STOM WATER ISSUES REVIEWlD: CONTINUED TO 10/4/93 on July 1, 1993, an intense short duration rainfall occurred which caused flooding on a few Edina residential properties. problems were low backyards where water could not drain fast enough for the intensity of the storm. Engineer Hoffman reported that Areas that sustained flooding Staff has identified the following areas which are currently being reviewed: 1. West 58th Street and Concord (two homes) 2. Naomi Drive area (three homes) 3. 74th and Oaklawn (one home) 4. West Shore and Hibiscus (one garage) 5. Stonewood Court (one home) 6. Ashcroft Lane (one home - private drain plugged) 7. McCauley Trail (no homes but water threatening) Engineer Hoffman explained that when these events occur, staff surveys the site and provides data to Barr Engineering, the City's stormwater consultant, who then reviews the data to determine if any assistance can be given to alleviate flooding or reduce flood potential. Barr Engineering Company was asked to review the management of stormwater runoff in the West 58th Street/Concord Avenue area and also in the West 66th Street/Naomi Drive area. On September 17, 1993, Barr Engineering submitted memorandums regarding these areas together with their recommendations to improve stormwater management, summarized as follows. He noted that Bob Obermeyer, Barr Engineering, was present to respond to questions. West 58th Street and Concord Avenue improvement project that provided an area for stormwater detention in the athletic field (Concord detention basin) behind Concord Elementary School and Southview Jr. High School. This basin provides the area with a "level of protection'' for the 100-year frequency storm event. Barr's review of the existing drainage system indicated that the system has sufficient capacity; however, the surface water runoff during these intense rainstorm events was not able to get into the system and utilize the available pipe and storage. In 1978, the City completed a drainage Barr Engineering would recommend the following to improve management of stormwater in this area: 1. 2. Install additional inlet capacity at West 58th Street/Ashcroft to minimize the depth of inundation in the streets. Install curb and gutter along West 58th Street/Concord to provide conveyance for surface water runoff and to minimize flow from yard area. better streets to 18 3 / 20 / 93 3. 4. 5. 6. Reconstruct the intersection of West 58th Street and Concord by "tipping" the intersection to flow toward Concord detention basin and away from residential area. (City has completed this work.) Provide additional pipe and inlet capacity in Concord Avenue/School Road area to direct surface water runoff into Concord detention basin, to minimize "flow-by" that currently exists resulting in additional runoff tributary to West 58th Street and Ashcroft. Field survey and reconstruct valley gutter systems at intersections throughout the area to ensure that under full flow conditions surface runoff is directed properly. Maintain backyard catch basins at 5801 Concord to ensure they are not blocked with debris or lawn clippings. Barr Engineering also recommended that the existing window wells at 5801 and 5805 Concord Avenue be'raised one foot to provide one foot of freeboard between the calculated flood elevation and where water can enter a structure. Engineer Hoffman said estimated total cost for these changes would approximate $60,000 to $70,000 at the high end. West 66th Street and Naomi Drive survey of the area, the depression area in the rear of the homes at 6605, 6609 and 6613 Naomi Drive is receiving surface water runoff from two locations. first is from a local drainage area that is essentially the backyard area of the homes along Naomi and Kenney Place. acres. The second location results from overflow conditions from street drainage along Naomi Drivefiest 66th Street. In field observing and from the City field The This drainage area is approximately 4.4 I To provide this area with a level of protection for the 100-year frequency storm event would require the following: 1. Eliminate the "short-circuiting" of runoff along Naomi Drive and down the driveways. Reconstruct the intersection of Kenney Place/West 66th Street to direct runoff along West 66th rather than becoming tributary to this area during intense rainstorms. Excavate 1.9 acre-feet with pipe outlet and 2.5 acre-feet with pump outlet of flood storage in the Normandale Park area to handle the volume of runoff from the intersection of West 66th Street/Naomi Drive. Water is currently stored in the street on West 66th Street and on Naomi Drive. From the City's survey, if the depth of inundation in the streets is greater than 0.5 feet, this runoff becomes tributary to the Naomi Drive depression area. The existing storm sewer system would continue to provide the outlet from the park. Provide additional outlet capacity from the Naomi Drive depression area. The existing outlet from this depression is at an elevation low enough that requires a flap gate to be installed to prevent back-flow from the trunk system. With the flap gate closed eliminating an outlet from this area, calculations show that there is not sufficient storage in this depression to prevent flooding for the volume of runoff generated from the local drainage area. in this area. 2. 3. The existing development limits provide additional storage To provide additional outlet capacity would require construction of either a gravity system from this area to Nine Mile Creek (1,800 lineal feet of 24-inch storm sewer), or a pumped outlet discharging into Normandale Park. option would require that 1.9 acre-feet of storage be excavated in Normandale Park to handle runoff volume at West 66th Street/Naomi Drive. would require an outflow capacity of 10 c.f.s. that would discharge into Normandale Park. addition storage be provided for the volume of runoff being pumped from the The gravity The pumped outlet The pumped outlet option would require that 2.5 acre-feet of 9/20/93 depression to the park. 19 Barr Engineering's preliminary cost estimate for these two options are as follows : Gravity Outlet: $260,000 Storage Excavation 40,000 I Construction Cost: $300,000 Pumped Outlet: $130,000 Storage Excavation 50,000 Construction Cost: $180,000 Engineer Hoffman noted that a letter to the Council dated August 26, 1993, regarding the frequent flooding of their homes together with an area history was received from Don and Carol Krebs, 6605 Naomi Drive; Roger and Margaret Sibell, 6607 Naomi Drive; Steve and Sally Schmitz, 6613 Naomi Drive; and Debbie and Greg Kosmas, 6617 Naomi Drive. Council Comment Member Paulus asked what the City's policy was regarding costs for stormwater improvements. Engineer Hoffman responded that prior to 1989, projects like this were specially assessed. In 1989, the Council established a stormwater utility fund to be used for stormwater purposes. Since then stormwater rehabs have been handled through this fund whereas stormwater systems for new construction areas are the responsibility of the developer. The balance in the stormwater utility fund is currently at approximately $500,000.00. available because of bond commitments and other projects. However, only about $250,000 is Answering questions of Member Rice, Engineer Hoffman explained that the City installed additional inlet capacity at West 72nd Street/France Avenue to eliminate water standing on the roadway. Further, that the recommended installation of curb and gutter along West 58th Street/Concord would reduce the flow from the street to the yard areas. wells at homes on Concord Avenue, this has been a subject of discussion with the residents as to whether this would be done by their private contractor or by the City. been granted but the City has never done work up against a building. Regarding raising the existing window In the past, the City has put piping in backyards where an easement has Member Smith expressed concern that the City would be getting into the business of "floodproofing". attempt to lower the flood potential and the residents have been told that this would not be a cure-all for every rainstorm event. Engineer Hoffman interjected that this would only be an Resident Comments on West 58th/Concord Area Linda Tilleau, 5805 Concord, said she bought her home in June, 1987. At that time she had inquired from the previous owners and neighbors about the low back yard and basin across the street and was told that, because of past flooding, the City had improved the area in 1978-79 to accommodate a 6-7 inch rainfall. When the 12 inch rainfall occurred in July 1987, it caused extensive damage which they repaired believing they would be okay. During a 1989 rainstorm, the back yards filled up to the window wells. Again, on July 1, 1993 a 3-inch rainfall inundated her basement. She said because of the potential flooding the use of her lower level is limited and that she was concerned about the resale value of her home because of disclosure requirements. She asked the Council to consider the recommended improvements. Andrew Sobert, 5800 Ashcroft Avenue, said he has been paying for stormwater damage since 1977 when they had 7 feet of water and again in 1987 when they had 7 1/2 feet in their basement. They have paid off approximately $13,600.00 in 9/20/93 20 loans for repair of flood damage and fear that the next time they may lose some basement wall. violently ill whenever there is a heavy rainstorm. handle the water runoff unless drainage for the area is improved. have a real problem that is extremely serious and need help from the City. Member Smith stated that the whole area from west of Wooddale over to the Concord School property was a wetland before it was developed. He noted that the Barr Engineering report did not address the issue of the subsoil condition in their solutions. to handle the 3-inch rainstorm events, not the major events of 1977 and 1987 which exceeded any community's design system. He said they cannot use their basement and his wife gets Curb and gutter will not I He said they Engineer Hoffman said that the issue is managing surface water runoff Robert Obermeyer, Barr Engineering, interjected that there are certain assumptions that have to be made when generating calculations and those do deal with antecedent conditions, i.e. how much infiltration the ground can actually absorb during a rainfall. This past summer more stormwater ran off because of the high ground water conditions. Barr's calculations showed that the Concord basin has sufficient capacity to handle the water that is directed into the basin. amount of water entering that intersection. it will be able to handle the water coming down to that intersection. The curb and gutter will deal only with the houses at Concord/58th Street to minimize the "short-circuiting" of water coming off the streets and into the backyard areas. He explained further that the installation of a flap gate within the system has been discussed with the property owners to eliminate backup of water into their yards to provide an additional level of protection. At Ashcroft/58th Street there is not enough inlet capacity to handle the Once the inlet capacity is increased Pat Koski, 5801 Concord Avenue, said she felt the recommended solutions would solve the problem but her concern was who would incur the cost. that she bought her home in 1988, the lowest in the area. the 1987 storm was called a 100-year event, and also because the City had done the drainage improvement project she signed off that she would be liable for further water problems. However, in 1989 her home was flooded with over six inches of water in the lower level. Ms. Koski said she spent a considerable amount of money to build up the grade around her house. However, the problem has reoccurred again this year. She concluded that this is a City problem because the City allowed homes to be build in this area and that the resale value will be affected unless this is remedied. She told Council Based on the fact that Subsequently, at the suggestion of the City, Engineer Hoffman interjected that these homes were built in the 1950's and 60's and that he did not know what the criteria for building sites was at that time. For new subdivisions now, the drainage system is based on determining the 100- year rainstorm elevation and then add at least one foot of freeboard on structure openings. be guaranteeing that a home would be flood-proof. that the City has no responsibility as to potential flooding by issuing a permit. Member Paulus asked if, by issuing a building permit, the City would Attorney Gilligan opined that Resident Comments on West 66thhJaomi Drive Area Don Krebs, 6605 Naomi Drive, spoke to the letter and area history submitted by him and neighbors. He pointed out the following: 1) the 1987 rainstorm was unusual and no one is protected from that type of event, 2) the July 1993 rain was a two inch, short-duration, high-intensity storm that caused the same kind of problem as in 1987 - the water came from the intersection of West 66th/Naomi Drive, not from the backyard drainage area, and 3) the problem is exaggerated by the sequential development that has occurred in the area resulting in increased runoff and reduced retention areas. been before the Council in 1981, in 1987, in 1988 to support the stormwater user fee, and again to support the improvements to the Nine-Mile Creek Watershed. I Mr. Krebs said he and the neighbors have 9/20/93 21 Regretfully, the Flood Disclosure Law did not exist when he and his neighbors purchased their homes. Mr. Krebs said if he had known the history, he would not have bought his house. He asked that a solution be engineered, planned, paid for, and legalized so that future Councils will not have to deal with this problem again. Roger Sibell, 6609 Naomi Drive, said he purchased his home in 1966 and was aware that the house had problems in-1957. However, he was told that the problem was corrected by a 15 inch drain pipe that had been installed. In 1971 after some flooding, the City flushed the clay out of the pipe which seemed to correct the situation. After West 66th Street was built through to Naomi Drive and Kenney Place was developed the flooding problem started again. stormwater comes down West 66th Street like a river whenever there is three inches of rain in a short time. He told Council he has remodeled his home four or five times since 1966 because of flood damage and the expense is an added burden on top of the real estate taxes. but when potential buyers learn there has been a water problem they walk away. He said at his age he does not need the pressure of worry and would like Council to consider the solutions that have been recommended. I Mr. Sibell said that the He said he has had the house up for sale Steve Schmitz, 6613 Naomi Drive, said they knew of the potential water problems because of the previous owner's disclosure when they purchased their home three years ago. flooding problems. Mr. Schmitz stated that none of the residents would like to see the tax value of their homes decrease but would like the values to be comparable to other homes in the area that do not experience flooding. that the City take some action so that when they do sell they can say what has been done as the basis for the values on their homes. Engineer Hoffman concluded that discussion and action on the recommendations of Barr Engineering be continued to the October 4 meeting so that all options could be considered for alleviating flood potential in these areas and other areas identified by staff, together with refined costs for the proposed projects and funding options. Even with taking some extra precautions, they have experienced recent He asked I Member Paulus asked that the City Attorney address the issue of the City's liability that has been raised. may set a precedent for any property that may have a future water problem. She also cautioned that these proposed projects Member Rice reminded the residents in attendance that staff is aware of other areas in the City that have water problems and that there is no guarantee that a solution for these two specific areas will be agreed upon at the October 4 meeting . DEW SURVEY REPORT PRESENTJlD AND DISCUSSED the following results of a survey regarding Edina's deer population that was included in the Spring 1993 of the About Town magazine. accepted for tabulation until July 1. Summary of Deer Survev Magazine was received by approximately 21,000 households - 294 surveys returned for an overall response rate of 1.4% of all households. Thirteen percent were from households located east of Highway 100. with the southwest quadrant of the City having the highest response rate (4%). Survey Findings Indicated the Following: Assistant Manager Hughes presented Survey responses were Remainder from west of Highway 100 52% felt there was a deer overpopulation problem in their area. 70% from the southwest quadrant indicated an overpopulation problem. 59% felt that deer were an asset to the community but most felt they should t I 22 9/20/93 ' be controlled in some fashion. 36% viewed the deer population only as a liability. 33% did not favor any method of deer control that would result in the death 53% supported population control that would clearly result in the death of 59% favored the use of tax dollars for deer management. I of individual animals. animals. Assistant Manager Hughes reminded Council that the survey represented only one factor which should be considered with respect to deer population control. Other factors include the population data which has been collected over the years, the advice of wildlife managers and other experts, and the public safety implications of any control program. The Council may wish to consider a number of alternatives based upon the survey report and past discussions concerning wildlife related issues, identified by staff as follows: 1. Establish a citizen committee to evaluate the survey, consult with deer management experts and prepare a recommendation for Council consideration. committee. Supplement the survey with testimony from deer management experts prior to holding a public hearing. Continue consideration until next year to evaluate the success of the Eden Prairie process. (According to experts, Edina's deer population is interrelated with Eden Prairie's deer population.) The City of Eden Prairie has established such a 2. 3. I Staff would recommend establishing a citizen committee to study the data and prepare a recommendation for Council consideration. Answering Council questions, Assistant Manager Hughes said Eden Prairie has established its citizen committee which has begun to meet but their timetable is not known. Minnesota River Valley Task Force is an organized group dealing with deer population problems in the valley, including cities that adjoin the Minnesota River Valley. U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the principal land owner in the area, is the primary entity with assistance from the DNR. Bloomington, the primary entity is twofold: Hennepin Parks which controls Highland Park Reserve and the City of Bloomington which controls other parts of the City. willing to step forward outside of lending techical expertise. Control in Eden Prairie would be more difficult with much land still used for farming, while Edina's main control would be in City owned Braemar Park. Hennepin Parks and the DNR have commented that without a control program in Eden Prairie, it is doubtful a control program in Edina would do much good. harvest were to occur, it would go to the veterans' facilities. Further upland into So far, there has not been a state or regional agency that has been Wildlife people at If a Assistant Manager Hughes answered Member Kelly that he does not foresee utilizing independent management experts as the Minnesota Park staff and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources would provide necessary expertise. could be comprised of persons with different viewpoints on deer management. A committee Speaking in support of controlling the deer population were Gretchen Holland, 6312 Indian Hills Road, and Vic Kreuziger, 6705 Cheyenne Trail. Following further discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to further investigate the merits of establishing a citizen committee as recommended by staff and to inquire as to the possibility of joining with the City of Eden Prairie in some type of deer control program. No formal action was taken. 9/20/93 23 RESOLUTION ADOPTED APPROVING 1994-95 COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES PIAN UPDATE Sanitarian Velde indicated that in 1991 the Council approved the 1992-1995 Community Health Service (CHS) Plan for the City of Edina which was accepted by the Minnesota Department of Health. Midway through the four year plan the City is required to review the plan and make mid-course changes deemed necessary. following changes are being proposed in the update: The 1. 2. 3. 4. Increased efforts will be given to Hepatitis B education and vaccination. Implementation of an immunization action plan if funding is available from Hennepin County. Increased activities are anticipated in lead screening and follow-up due to federal guidelines. Implementation of a breast and cervical cancer clinic with funds from a Minnesota Department of Health Grant. I Sanitarian Velde reported that the Edina Community Health Advisory Committee recommended'approval of the plan update at its August 25, 1993, meeting. He noted that the plan has been available for public review at City Hall and the Hennepin County Libraries since July 15, 1993. A public hearing on the plan update was held at five locations on five different dates. No comments were heard regarding the plan update. The City of Edina will receive $113,165.00 annually in subsidy from the Minnesota Department of Health. In response to Member Smith's concern about HIV, Sanitarian Velde explained that Edina has a very low HIV infection level and therefore does not have active surveillance, the primary concern with HIV is in Minneapolis, HIV education is part of the Edina school curriculum, statistics do not indicate this to be a high-priority issue for suburban communities, and the original 1992-1995 plan has a component addressing HIV while the plan now before the Council is merely an I update. Member Rice introduced the following resolution and moved approval: RESOLUTION APFROVING THE PIAN FOR PROVISION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES IN THE CITY OF EDIHB AND THE SUBMISSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR TEE CO- HEALTH SERVICES ACT SUBSIDY WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Edina is the official governing body of the City of Edina and functions as the official Board of Health in the City of Edina; and WHEREAS, the City Council is committed to promote, support and maintain the health of the entire community at the highest level; and WHEREAS, the Community Health Services Act provides for subsidies in support of public health services on the local level throughout the State of Minnesota; and WHEREAS, a public meeting was held relative to the needs and priorities of the community for Community Health Services; and WHEREAS, the Community Health Services Advisory Committee of the City of Edina has reviewed the plan update for the provision of public health services in the City of Edina and recommends its approval to the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed this self-same plan update and finds it consistent with the needs and priorities of the community as determined by the Community Health Services Advisory Committee and as expressed by the citizens of Edina ; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina that the Community Health Services Plan update for the City of Edina is approved and authorization is hereby given to submit an application for the Community Health Services Act subsidy for the years 1994-95.
