The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Nicholas Boulevard project, and to review a request for a variation from the Village's Minimum Site Development and Landscaping Ordinance. 1. NICHOLAS BOULEVARD The Village Engineer reviewed the results of the drainage study prepared by Donohue and Associates and discussed a specific drainage problem associated with the removal of the existing ditch along the street. Because of the width and length of the existing ditch, a substantial quantity of storm water is stored in the ditch during periods of heavy rainfall. With the elimination of the ditch by the proposed roadway configuration, the quantity of storm water stored by the ditch must be pro- vided to prevent private property flooding. Various alternatives for providing this storm water storage were reviewed and evaluated by the Committee. ALTERNATIVE 1: Provide for the required additional storage in an oversized storm sewer. The problem associated with this alternative is that the over- sized storm sewer would cost on additional $1.3 million making the total project cost $3. 1 million. ALTERNATIVE 2: Increase the water storage capacity of the Rogers Industrial Park detention pond from 4.6 acre-feet to 10.6 acre-feet as proposed by the RJN Environmental Industrial Drainage Ditch Study. The problems associated with this alternative were identified as follows: 1. The Rogers detention basin is privately owned - access and construction easements and/or pur- chase of the facility would be required. con t'd... Page 2 2. Approximately $350,000 of work would be required to expand capacity. 3. The Nicholas Boulevard project would be delayed until the detention project is com- pleted. 4. Additional storm sewer work would be necessary from Nicholas to the detention facility. ALTERNATIVE 3: Purchase a vacant industrial lot and construct a new detention facility. The problems associated with this alternative were as follows: 1. Land Acquisition 2. Approximately $300,000 for the construction of the facility exclusive of land acquisition costs. 3. Nicholas Boulevard project would be delayed. 4. Additional storm sewer work would be necessary from Nicholas to the location of the new deten- tion facility. ALTERNATIVE 4: Provide for a combination of on-street storm water storage 1 lanes would remain passable at all times during peak rainfalls); storm sewer pipe detention; and, parkway swale storage. The problems associated with this alternative were identified as follows: 1. Minor and temporary parking lane flooding during heavy rainfalls. 2. Minor and temporary standing water in the parkway during heavy rainfall. After reviewing the available alternatives it was the Committees unan- imous consensus to proceed with the design in accordance with Alternative 4. There will be no additional cost to the project; the parkway swoles would be a maximum of 1 feet deep measured from the proposed top of curb; the parkway would be easily maintainable due to the minimal swale slopes; and water would only be stored on the parkway during heavy rainfalls. Page 3 The Committee also felt it would be appropriate to advise the full Board of the Nicholas Boulevard drainage problem at an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting to acquire a consensus of the full Board. 2. RUBIN DEVELOPMENT - LANDSCAPING WAIVER The Committee reviewed a request by Joseph Rubin to waive the ten foot boundary landscaping requirement of the Village Ordinance keeping the remaining requirements as adopted. Because Mr. Rubin's Midas Muffler/Automotive development located at the southwest corner of Busse and Lunt is totally surrounded by industrial zoned property it was unanimously recommended to waive the requirement of boundary lands- caping as long as the remaining provisions of the Ordinance would be met. There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. Respectfully Submitted. ;i Ion . B ig1elneer AJB:pp c: Committee Members Asst.
