STAFF REPORT
Storm water flowing along the west side of the Santa Fe
Railway track is discharged into the intersection of Evans Street
and "I" Street, through a curb opening.
The storm water then drains to the west side of "I"
Street, since the pavement is sloped in that direction. The
street section is not adequate to handle the volume of storm
water, which results in water flowing over the curb and on to the
adjoining parcel. This situation has resulted in complaints from
the owner of this single family residence.
A field review revealed two options to alleviate this
situation. One is to extend the 18-inch storm drain at 13th
Street to Evans Street. The preliminary estimate of cost for
this option is $85 ,000.
A second option would be to remove and reconstruct the
curb and gutter along the east side of "I" Street, and raise the
pavement of centerline, to keep the storm water on the east side
of the street. Under this option, the storm water will still
flow in "I" Street, but the parcel on the southwest corner would
be protected. The preliminary estimate of cost for this option
is $15, 000.
We recommend that the second option be selected, since it
is less expensive and will address the problem experienced by the
resident on the southwest corner.
An amount of $50, 000 has been allocated, under Account
No. 248-368-57888, to finance the costs for installation of
drainage improvements to the Chestnut Avenue Storm Drain. The
preliminary estimate of cost is less than $35, 000 , which means
that $15 , 000 could be transferred without delaying this project.
Therefore, we recommend that $15,000 be transferred to
finance the cost for the drainage improvements at Evans Street
and "I" Street.
