AGENDA
HEADING:
Authorization
to acquire the necessary right-of-way and easements for the McKinley Avenue
Drainage Improvements Project – SW 26th Street to SW 31st
Street by gift, negotiation, or eminent domain.
SYNOPSIS:
Recommend
authorization to acquire necessary right-of-way for the McKinley Avenue
Drainage Improvements Project – SW 26th Street to SW 31st
Street by gift, negotiation, or eminent domain.
This action is required by Iowa law before the City can initiate the
right-of-way acquisition process under eminent domain. This project will reduce the overland flow of
storm water and provide additional protection to the properties located on the
south side of McKinley Avenue by creating a detention basin that will impound
water and release the stored volume over an extended period.
FISCAL
IMPACT:
Amount: To be determined by independent appraisal or
waiver valuation after final design plats are complete.
Funding
Source: 2009-10 CIP, Page Storm Water Improvements-14,
McKinley Avenue Drainage Improvements, STE083.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
During
heavy rainfall events, the storm sewers in this area can become
overloaded. This project will construct a
detention basin on the north side of McKinley Avenue, just north of the airport,
which will impound water and release the stored volume over an extended period. By extending the time over which the water is
released, it will reduce peak flows in the storm sewer system and reduce
overland flow.
