COUNCIL WORKSHOP
WEST OTSEGO STORMWATER & ROAD PLANNING
Roll Call: Mayor Larry Fournier, Councilmembers Jerry
Struthers, Vern Heidner, Dan Scharber, and Virginia Wendel
were present. City Staff: City Administrator Michael
Robertson, City Engineer Ron Wagner, and assistant engineers
Tim Eggerich, Jeff Elliot, and Jim Johnson.
REVIEW OTSEGO CREEK STORMWATER PLAN
Ron Wagner reviewed the Otsego Creek Stormwater Plan. The
total estimated cost for Trunk Stormwater facilities
throughout the length of the creek is estimated at over seven
million dollars. This establishes a storm water fee of
$2,165 per acre for storm water improvements. This fee would
only be paid by properties as they develop.
Council consensus was that the plan looked acceptable. There
was a lot of discussion that the stretch of Otsego Creek from
County Road 19 west to MacIver Avenue would probably need to
be constructed in 2004.
REVIEW OTSEGO TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Ron Wagner and Jim Johnson reviewed the revised Draft
Transportation Plan. They described the study done for the
Area of 70th Street and MacIver Avenue. Council consensus was
that the plan was generally acceptable but needed a few
modifications. There was considerable discussion of the
difficulty of funding collector road improvements. Ron
Wagner will revise the plan per discussion and bring it
before the City Council in the near future.
With no further business the workshop adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
