H. STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT REQUEST — NORTH RIDGE DR
DIRECTION FOR CONSIDERATION: REVIEW FLOODING CONCERNS AND
PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS.
FACTS:
0 On October 4, 2005, the City experienced a significant rainfall event of 5.4" in
24hrs that approached the City's 100 yr (1%) design standard (6"/24hrs). While
numerous intersections andlow points throughout the city were temporarily
flooded, there were reports of 2 structures along North Ridge Dr. that incurred
flooding from separate backyard low points
• During discussions with the affected property owner, it was. learned that the.
property at 3865 North Ridge Dr. also incurred basement flooding during the July
2000 Super Storm. However, this was unknown to the City at that time and was
• not included in any of the subsequent communitywide storm mitigation
improvements.
• The property owner (Tom Sandish) has requested that the City address these past
flooding issues and provide improvements to eliminate future occurrences. Staff
has performed some preliminary analyses and identified designs options with cost
estimates for discussion and consideration by the Council.
• The property owner has requested a level of protection greater that the city's
design standards for storm' water management (8"/24hrs) with a specified
maximum elevation. City staff will present the details of these options and
provide comparisons to City Standards.
• The July 2000 Super Storm mitigation improvements have totaled —$9.3 million
to date and financed as follows: State grant - $5 million; Sanitary Sewer Trunk
Fund - $2 million; Home Acquisition Resale - $0.79 million; and Water Trunk
Fund — $1.5 million. The Finance Dept. recommends that any future projects
relating to the July 2000 super storm event be financed through the Water Trunk
Fund.

• NORTH RIDGE DRIVE — STRUCTURE FLOODING
Issues: Two (2) residential structures (3865 & 3849 North Ridge Dr.) were
impacted by flooding from high water elevations in their rear yards.
Category: FB (Low entry above the 1% rainfall HWL and EOF but below the
required freeboard elevations)
Existing Conditions:
• Low Entries
Two homes south end have low entry elevations with potential impact from the
same backyard low point:
o 895 Knollwood Ct. — 886.84 (walkout)
o 3865 North Ridge Dr. — 885.6 (walkout)
One home north end has a low entry with potential impact from an "Emergency
Over Flow" (EOF) from a backyard low point.
o 3849 North Ridge Dr. — 887.35 (walkout)
• Normal Water Level — NA (dry rear yard low points)
• 1% Rainfall High Water Level (HWL) — 885.29 (south)
• - 885.25 (north)
• October 4, 2005 Rainfall Event (HWL) — 886.94 (south)
- 887.97 (north)
• Applicable Freeboard Criteria — 2 feet above HWL; 1 foot above EOF
Actual Freeboard — 0.3' (south)
- 0.35' (north)
Meets City Freeboard Criteria?
South - No
North - No
• Existing Emergency Overflow: South — Not Available
North — 887.0
• 8" Rainfall Event HWL: South — 885.9
North — Not Applicable
Special Considerations: A pipe was installed to drain the low area in the backyard of the
affected residence to the storm sewer in North Ridge Dr. During the October 4, 2005
rainfall event, the storm sewer system outlet draining into pond JP -20.5 on the east side
of North Ridge Dr. was clogged with debris limiting the system's capacity. In addition,
runoff from backyards to the north caused by a clogged pond outlet (JP30.3)even further
to the north, compounded the reduced capacity of the clogged storm sewer outlet
resulting in the observed flooding. The backyard low point receives direct runoff from
several adjacent backyard to the southwest and to the north. No street runoff is directed to
this affected area.
•
a
Description of Basic Improvements: The proposed basic improvement (Option #1) •
involves increasing the outlet capacity of .the pipes that drain the southerly backyard low
point to its ultimate downstream pond outlet on the east side of North Ridge Dr. The
improvement proposes to increase the existing pipe sizes from 12", 18" and 21" to 18" &
30" along this route. Options #2 & #3 provide for an additional separate and secondary
parallel pipe dedicated to drain just the backyard area to Pond JP -20.2 with no
interconnection to the existing drainage system. The only difference between Option #2
& #3 is the alignment route as shown on the attached preliminary Plan & Profile drawing.
All designs are based on the homeowner's request at 3865 North Ridge Dr to provide
protection for an 8" rainfall event and maximum water elevation no greater than the
existing ground elevation 10' away from its walkout entry.
In addition, the EbF elevation between the north and south flooding areas should be
lowered to provide a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard elevation between the low entry at
3849 North Ridge Dr and the highest elevation in the EOF located in the rear yard area of
3853 North Ridge Dr.. This EOF can be lowered to 886.35 without affecting the size of
the improvements required for the south flooding area while still providing the needed
flood protection to 3849 North Ridge Dr. The estimated cost of lowering the EOF based
on this analysis assumes the backyard area of 3853 North Ridge Dr. would be regraded.
A detail field survey has not been performed for this scope of work. If regrading the EOF
is included, a more detailed field survey should be conducted to refine the cost estimate.
Post improvement affect and cost estimate at south end (3865 North Ridge Dr.): •
• Existing low entry elevation —885.6
• Existing elev. 10' away from low entry —884.5
• Rev. 1% Rainfall High Water Level —883.6
• 8 Rainfall HWL with Improvement —884.4
• Improvement Cost — (Includes 20% indirect costs) Option 1: $132,000
Option 2: $ 90,700
Option 3: $ 98,300
• Meets City's I% Freeboard Criteria YES
• Meets 8" Rainfall Criteria YES
Post improvement affect and cost estimate at north end (3849 North Ridge Dr.):
• Existing low entry elevation —887.35
• Existing EOF elevation -887.0
• 1% Rainfall High Water Level —884.2
• 8" Rainfall HWL with Imp. —885.3
• Rev. EOF max. Elevation —886.35
• Improvement Cost — (Includes 20% indirect cost): $15,000
• Meets City's 1% Freeboard Criteria YES
• Meets 8" Rainfall Criteria YES

MEMO
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: APRIL 21, 2006
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL SEGMENTS TO WINTER TRAIL
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
In October, 1996, the City Council implemented an experimental trial program for maintaining sidewalks
and trails during the winter season on a select segment consisting of 3.8 miles primarily serving walkers
to the elementary schools. They also adopted a policy and an ordinance requiring certain property owners
to maintain the adjacent sidewalks.
In the spring of 1998, the Council evaluated the program and considered expanding it throughout the
City. Staff was directed to inventory the existing system (105 +/- miles), evaluate the priority uses of the
sidewalks and trails, prepare a draft plan (46 +/- miles) and present it to the community for comments
and suggestions.
At a special workshop session held on May 26, 1998, the Council reviewed all the comments and
modified the draft plan to address the needs and desires of the community. This final draft plan (54 +/-
miles) was then presented to the public for final review and comments and subsequent Council adoption
on June 2, 1998. Since then, the City Council has added approx. 8 miles of trails to the system (new
construction along collector/arterial road upgrades meeting the trail policy criteria.) The current program
consists of 62.4 miles of the total 126.5 mile system. (This does not include the internal Park trail
system.)
COSTS/BUDGETS
The original 1998 annual budgeted cost was estimated at:
The 2006 approved budget is:
The last 5 year average annual cost has been:
The highest cost year.. was the winter season of 2000/2001 at:
The previous low cost year was 2002/2003 at:
The cost for the 2005/2006 season was:
CITIZEN REOUESTS:
$180,000 (53 miles @ $3,400/mile).
$74,800 (62.4 miles at $1,199/mile).
$62,920 ($1,008/mile).

sidewalks that are relied upon by the school districts for designated walkers under their bus transportation
policy.
ADDTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS •
1. Business Request - BR #1
In conjunction with the addition of the trail ways that will be installed as part of the rehabilitation of the
Waters Business Park during the 2006 construction season, the Council may want to consider adding
the following trail way segments;
• Consider adding newly constructed segment of 8' bituminous trail on the west side of
Lone Oak Drive from Lone Oak Road to Lone Oak Parkway (approx. 2,850 feet).
•. Consider adding newly constructed segment.of 8' bituminous trail on the south/east side
of Lone Oak Parkway from Lone Oak Drive to Northwest Parkway (approx. 1,950 feet).
Additionally, two segments of sidewalk currently exist in this area as part of a future network:
• Consider adding existing segment of 6' concrete sidewalk on the south side of Lone Oak
Parkway from TH 149 to Lone Oak Drive (approx. 1,200 feet).
• Consider adding existing segment of 6' concrete sidewalk on the north side of Northwest
Parkway from TH 149 to Lone Oak Parkway (approx. 1,150 feet).
Rational. Business representatives located in the Waters Development area have' requested that these
trails be maintained during the winter to provide paths for employees to use for daytime exercise.
Additional 7,150 eet (see map)
Additional average cost $1,645.00
7,150 ft x.23 = $1,645.00

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
SUBJECT: , Winter Maintenance of Sidewalk and Trailways.
DATE ADOPTED: October 15, 1996 REVISED: Revised: June 2, 1998
Basis: The City of Eagan has received continued requests to have the sidewalk and
trailway system maintained year around. In addition, the trail system plan element of the
1995 Park System Plan states "Prudent decision making regarding snow plowing must
consider the actual amount of trail use gained given the level of investment required".
After evaluating two seasons of winter maintenance on a limited segment (3.8 miles) of
trails and sidewalks, the City Council decided to expand the program to meet the basic
needs of the community and also modify the previous policy.
Purpose: The City of Eagan has developed the following policy in order to respond in
an orderly, consistent, and fiscally responsible manner to the desires of the community
for a basic Winter Trail and Sidewalk Maintenance Program. After reviewing the extent
of sidewalks 'and trails that exist within the community as of 1998 (110 +/- miles), the
City Council has determined that those segments that meet the City's basic criteria shall
have priority for performance of winter maintenance. After evaluating the cost
associated with acquiring the specialty type equipment and the additional personnel
resources necessary to provide a reasonable level of service expected by the public, the
• City Council has determined that this new public service will be provided through private
contractual services.
0
Criteria: The following criteria will be used to determine whether a segment of
sidewalk and/or trailway should be included in the winter trail maintenance program:
1. Major Arterial Roads. These are thoroughfare roads with 4+ lanes, traffic
volumes greater than 5,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 45 mph or
greater.
2. Community Collectors. With 2 traffic lanes and safety lane/shoulders or 4
full lanes of traffic with volumes greater than 3,000 vehicles per day and
speed limits from 35-45 mph.
3. Neighborhood Collector Streets: Local streets approximately 1 mile in length
with 2 traffic lanes and 2 safety lanes/shoulders, traffic volumes less than
3,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 35 mph or greater.
4. Local School Walking Route These are trails and sidewalks that are relied
upon by the school districts for designated walkers under their bus
transportation policy.
5: Other: The Council's discretion will be used to designate other segments as
necessary to provide continuity, designated recreational loops, etc.
19,
Operational Policies
Specific operational policies are hereby adopted to implement a Winter Trail and •
Sidewalk Maintenance Program on a uniform basis. This will allow the City Council to
evaluate the effectiveness, economics and acceptance of this program as necessary to
determine the appropriateness of discontinuing, maintaining or modifying the program on
a regular basis.
1. Sidewalk and trailway snow removal will be performed'only after a minimum
of 2" of snow has accumulated resulting from a snowfall event.
Accumulations resulting from drifting and/or depositions resulting from
public street snow removal operations will be performed as determined
necessary by the City. City-wide snow removal operations will begin within
24 hours after the cessation of the last (in case of multiple back-to-back
storms) snowfall event and/or when deemed necessary by the City in
coordination with public street snow removal operations. The City will
attempt to complete all snow removal operations within 24 hours after
beginning depending on the event and weather predictions.
2. Snow removal operations will be performed with equipment and operators
retained through a private contractual service agreement.
3. The level of service will be limited to what can be provided by mechanical.
equipment. Due to' the limitations of mechanical equipment and trail
irregularities,. pathways may not be cleared or maintained to a dry pavement
standard. No hand work will be performed by City or contractual personnel.
Surface irregularities and slippery conditions may result. No ice control •
(sanding or salting) will be performed by the City or contractor.
4.. It is to be expected that snow can be plowed, blown, swept or dumped on
public right-of-way and easements on either side of the sidewalk/trail as
needed for the best efficiency of operation.
5. Reasonable attempts will be made not to deposit excessive snow in driveways
and/or private sidewalks if is operationally or mechanically controllable.
However, the removal of any snow deposits that may result will be the
responsibility of the adjacent property owner and/or occupant.
6. The City will not be responsible for sand, salt or incidental plow damage to
turf or driveways, nor irrigation systems or any landscaping improvements
located within public rights-of-way or easements. Any related repair will be
the responsibility of the adjacent property owners and/or occupant.
7. In order to perform snow removal operations, pathways must remain free of
any obstructions (i.e., vehicles, refuse containers, play equipment,
implements, etc.) until the pathway snow clearing operation has been
completed. If obstructions are encountered, the City's operation may skip the
affected property frontage and the subsequent removal will be the
responsibility of the adjacent property owner and/or occupant.
8.' School districts will be expected to perform snow removal operations on those
segments of public trails and sidewalks adjacent to their property as necessary
to accommodate designated walkers according to their bus transportation
policy. •
1p
Plan Adoption:
• The sidewalks and trails designated to be maintained by the City of Eagan will be so
referenced on the most recent map adopted by Council action and kept on file in the
Department of Public Works.
C7
Process:
The plan adopted by Council action on June 2, 1998, incorporates approximately 54
miles of the total 110 +/- mile. system. With approximately 50% of the system not being
maintained, it is anticipated there will be requests for other segments to be added. Due to
the cost to add additional segments to the overall maintenance program, it is necessary
that a need and benefit be demonstrated to justify the expenditure of additional funds.
Subsequently, no segment will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of 50
properties lying within 1/4 mile of the segment to be considered. All requests will be
considered only once per year at the first regular Council meeting in April for possible
inclusion into the following season's program.

Aeon s/0-/0(01
Mr. Mayor and Council Members,
I am submitting this letter as background Information regarding the drainage situation that exists
at my property (3865 North Ridge Drive, Eagan, MN 55123). The body of this letter is the
Information that I emailed to City Administrator Tom Hedges on October 51h, 2005. This recounts
what happened on the evening of October 4'h and morning of October 5th, 2005. Included is the
mention of other incidents related to the insufficient drainage, specifically a previous flood during
July of 2000. 1 am also including pictures that were taken the morning of October 51h. That
indicates the water height on the rear exterior of my house.
The email text is as follows:
I appreciate your visit to my property this morning to survey the damage that occurred as a result
of the storm/sewer back-up last evening (101412005). As we discussed, the storm sewer in my
backyard was not sufficient in removing the water from my property, as well as that of both my
neighbor's properties, which drain into the sewer in my backyard,
At approximately 9:30 p.m., I noticed that the water was not flowing into the drain and according
to my neighbor; the water was actually flowing up from the drain as it traveled into all of our
properties. Calls were placed to 911 to notify authorities and see if anything could be done.
At approximately 10:00 p.m., a city worker named Rick arrived and looked at what was
happening. He looked at the storm sewer in the street and indicated it was full and therefore the
one in the backyard would certainly not accept any water. He then left promptly after that
apparently to check something else.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., the water had reached the house and began entering my basement.
At approximately 11:30 p.m., the water had reached its peak, which was 2+ feet high on the
house. Water was coming into the house rapidly. it was at this time that i observed the whirlpool
finally start above the sewer indicating that it had started to drain.
At approximately 2:00 a.m., I saw through the sliding glass basement door that the water had
receded about 1 foot in height.
At approximately 4:00 a.m,, the water had receded to the threshold of the sliding glass door and
water stopped coming into the house.
At approximately 7:00 a.m., you arrived and observed that the water in the backyard had fully
drained into the storm sewer in my backyard.
As you suggested, I'm noting that I recently (August) completed finishing basement. This was an
extensive project.
I'm also noting that a similar incident, although more extensive from an amount of water
standpoint, happened in 2000 and resulted in 34" of water in my then unfinished basement..
Additionally, during a heavy rainstorm in June, water pooled to approximately 60 feet in diameter
and approached the house. Again, water initially flowed back out of the drain for a lengthy period
of time prior to actually taking water in. It never reached the house, but came within 10 feet. At
that time, I asked that a city inspector come out and look at the drain to see if it was up to code.
He informed me that it was.
As you have suggested, my intention is for this email to serve as an official claim to the City of
Eagan for the cost of the necessary clean-up and restoration. In addition, I hope that this email
serves to note the need for an improvement to the existing water collection/drainage system that
serves my property and those around me.
Again, I appreciate and thank you for your timely visit this morning as well as for your assistance
in recovering from this unfortunate incident. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding this
matter.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information_
Thank you,
Thomas F. Sandish

H. STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT REQUEST — NORTH RIDGE DR
DIRECTION FOR CONSIDERATION: REVIEW FLOODING CONCERNS AND
PROVIDE DIRECTION REGARDING POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS.
FACTS:
0 On October 4, 2005, the City experienced a significant rainfall event of 5.4" in
24hrs that approached the City's 100 yr (1%) design standard (6"/24hrs). While
numerous intersections andlow points throughout the city were temporarily
flooded, there were reports of 2 structures along North Ridge Dr. that incurred
flooding from separate backyard low points
• During discussions with the affected property owner, it was. learned that the.
property at 3865 North Ridge Dr. also incurred basement flooding during the July
2000 Super Storm. However, this was unknown to the City at that time and was
• not included in any of the subsequent communitywide storm mitigation
improvements.
• The property owner (Tom Sandish) has requested that the City address these past
flooding issues and provide improvements to eliminate future occurrences. Staff
has performed some preliminary analyses and identified designs options with cost
estimates for discussion and consideration by the Council.
• The property owner has requested a level of protection greater that the city's
design standards for storm' water management (8"/24hrs) with a specified
maximum elevation. City staff will present the details of these options and
provide comparisons to City Standards.
• The July 2000 Super Storm mitigation improvements have totaled —$9.3 million
to date and financed as follows: State grant - $5 million; Sanitary Sewer Trunk
Fund - $2 million; Home Acquisition Resale - $0.79 million; and Water Trunk
Fund — $1.5 million. The Finance Dept. recommends that any future projects
relating to the July 2000 super storm event be financed through the Water Trunk
Fund.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Fact sheet, pages and.
• Preliminary construction drawing, w/o page number.
• Aerial map, w/o page number.
• NORTH RIDGE DRIVE — STRUCTURE FLOODING
Issues: Two (2) residential structures (3865 & 3849 North Ridge Dr.) were
impacted by flooding from high water elevations in their rear yards.
Category: FB (Low entry above the 1% rainfall HWL and EOF but below the
required freeboard elevations)
Existing Conditions:
• Low Entries
Two homes south end have low entry elevations with potential impact from the
same backyard low point:
o 895 Knollwood Ct. — 886.84 (walkout)
o 3865 North Ridge Dr. — 885.6 (walkout)
One home north end has a low entry with potential impact from an "Emergency
Over Flow" (EOF) from a backyard low point.
o 3849 North Ridge Dr. — 887.35 (walkout)
• Normal Water Level — NA (dry rear yard low points)
• 1% Rainfall High Water Level (HWL) — 885.29 (south)
• - 885.25 (north)
• October 4, 2005 Rainfall Event (HWL) — 886.94 (south)
- 887.97 (north)
• Applicable Freeboard Criteria — 2 feet above HWL; 1 foot above EOF
Actual Freeboard — 0.3' (south)
- 0.35' (north)
Meets City Freeboard Criteria?
South - No
North - No
• Existing Emergency Overflow: South — Not Available
North — 887.0
• 8" Rainfall Event HWL: South — 885.9
North — Not Applicable
Special Considerations: A pipe was installed to drain the low area in the backyard of the
affected residence to the storm sewer in North Ridge Dr. During the October 4, 2005
rainfall event, the storm sewer system outlet draining into pond JP -20.5 on the east side
of North Ridge Dr. was clogged with debris limiting the system's capacity. In addition,
runoff from backyards to the north caused by a clogged pond outlet (JP30.3)even further
to the north, compounded the reduced capacity of the clogged storm sewer outlet
resulting in the observed flooding. The backyard low point receives direct runoff from
several adjacent backyard to the southwest and to the north. No street runoff is directed to
this affected area.
•
a
Description of Basic Improvements: The proposed basic improvement (Option #1) •
involves increasing the outlet capacity of .the pipes that drain the southerly backyard low
point to its ultimate downstream pond outlet on the east side of North Ridge Dr. The
improvement proposes to increase the existing pipe sizes from 12", 18" and 21" to 18" &
30" along this route. Options #2 & #3 provide for an additional separate and secondary
parallel pipe dedicated to drain just the backyard area to Pond JP -20.2 with no
interconnection to the existing drainage system. The only difference between Option #2
& #3 is the alignment route as shown on the attached preliminary Plan & Profile drawing.
All designs are based on the homeowner's request at 3865 North Ridge Dr to provide
protection for an 8" rainfall event and maximum water elevation no greater than the
existing ground elevation 10' away from its walkout entry.
In addition, the EbF elevation between the north and south flooding areas should be
lowered to provide a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard elevation between the low entry at
3849 North Ridge Dr and the highest elevation in the EOF located in the rear yard area of
3853 North Ridge Dr.. This EOF can be lowered to 886.35 without affecting the size of
the improvements required for the south flooding area while still providing the needed
flood protection to 3849 North Ridge Dr. The estimated cost of lowering the EOF based
on this analysis assumes the backyard area of 3853 North Ridge Dr. would be regraded.
A detail field survey has not been performed for this scope of work. If regrading the EOF
is included, a more detailed field survey should be conducted to refine the cost estimate.
Post improvement affect and cost estimate at south end (3865 North Ridge Dr.): •
• Existing low entry elevation —885.6
• Existing elev. 10' away from low entry —884.5
• Rev. 1% Rainfall High Water Level —883.6
• 8 Rainfall HWL with Improvement —884.4
• Improvement Cost — (Includes 20% indirect costs) Option 1: $132,000
Option 2: $ 90,700
Option 3: $ 98,300
• Meets City's I% Freeboard Criteria YES
• Meets 8" Rainfall Criteria YES
Post improvement affect and cost estimate at north end (3849 North Ridge Dr.):
• Existing low entry elevation —887.35
• Existing EOF elevation -887.0
• 1% Rainfall High Water Level —884.2
• 8" Rainfall HWL with Imp. —885.3
• Rev. EOF max. Elevation —886.35
• Improvement Cost — (Includes 20% indirect cost): $15,000
• Meets City's 1% Freeboard Criteria YES
• Meets 8" Rainfall Criteria YES

MEMO
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
THOMAS L. HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: THOMAS A. COLBERT, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
DATE: APRIL 21, 2006
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL SEGMENTS TO WINTER TRAIL
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
BACKGROUND
In October, 1996, the City Council implemented an experimental trial program for maintaining sidewalks
and trails during the winter season on a select segment consisting of 3.8 miles primarily serving walkers
to the elementary schools. They also adopted a policy and an ordinance requiring certain property owners
to maintain the adjacent sidewalks.
In the spring of 1998, the Council evaluated the program and considered expanding it throughout the
City. Staff was directed to inventory the existing system (105 +/- miles), evaluate the priority uses of the
sidewalks and trails, prepare a draft plan (46 +/- miles) and present it to the community for comments
and suggestions.
At a special workshop session held on May 26, 1998, the Council reviewed all the comments and
modified the draft plan to address the needs and desires of the community. This final draft plan (54 +/-
miles) was then presented to the public for final review and comments and subsequent Council adoption
on June 2, 1998. Since then, the City Council has added approx. 8 miles of trails to the system (new
construction along collector/arterial road upgrades meeting the trail policy criteria.) The current program
consists of 62.4 miles of the total 126.5 mile system. (This does not include the internal Park trail
system.)

The original 1998 annual budgeted cost was estimated at:
The 2006 approved budget is:
The last 5 year average annual cost has been:
The highest cost year.. was the winter season of 2000/2001 at:

CITY COUNCIL POLICY
SUBJECT: , Winter Maintenance of Sidewalk and Trailways.
DATE ADOPTED: October 15, 1996 REVISED: Revised: June 2, 1998
Basis: The City of Eagan has received continued requests to have the sidewalk and
trailway system maintained year around. In addition, the trail system plan element of the
1995 Park System Plan states "Prudent decision making regarding snow plowing must
consider the actual amount of trail use gained given the level of investment required".
After evaluating two seasons of winter maintenance on a limited segment (3.8 miles) of
trails and sidewalks, the City Council decided to expand the program to meet the basic
needs of the community and also modify the previous policy.
Purpose: The City of Eagan has developed the following policy in order to respond in
an orderly, consistent, and fiscally responsible manner to the desires of the community
for a basic Winter Trail and Sidewalk Maintenance Program. After reviewing the extent
of sidewalks 'and trails that exist within the community as of 1998 (110 +/- miles), the
City Council has determined that those segments that meet the City's basic criteria shall
have priority for performance of winter maintenance. After evaluating the cost
associated with acquiring the specialty type equipment and the additional personnel
resources necessary to provide a reasonable level of service expected by the public, the
• City Council has determined that this new public service will be provided through private
contractual services.
0
Criteria: The following criteria will be used to determine whether a segment of
sidewalk and/or trailway should be included in the winter trail maintenance program:
1. Major Arterial Roads. These are thoroughfare roads with 4+ lanes, traffic
volumes greater than 5,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 45 mph or
greater.
2. Community Collectors. With 2 traffic lanes and safety lane/shoulders or 4
full lanes of traffic with volumes greater than 3,000 vehicles per day and
speed limits from 35-45 mph.
3. Neighborhood Collector Streets: Local streets approximately 1 mile in length
with 2 traffic lanes and 2 safety lanes/shoulders, traffic volumes less than
3,000 vehicles per day and speed limits of 35 mph or greater.
4. Local School Walking Route These are trails and sidewalks that are relied
upon by the school districts for designated walkers under their bus
transportation policy.
5: Other: The Council's discretion will be used to designate other segments as
necessary to provide continuity, designated recreational loops, etc.
19,
Operational Policies
Specific operational policies are hereby adopted to implement a Winter Trail and •
Sidewalk Maintenance Program on a uniform basis. This will allow the City Council to
evaluate the effectiveness, economics and acceptance of this program as necessary to
determine the appropriateness of discontinuing, maintaining or modifying the program on
a regular basis.
1. Sidewalk and trailway snow removal will be performed'only after a minimum
of 2" of snow has accumulated resulting from a snowfall event.
Accumulations resulting from drifting and/or depositions resulting from
public street snow removal operations will be performed as determined
necessary by the City. City-wide snow removal operations will begin within
24 hours after the cessation of the last (in case of multiple back-to-back
storms) snowfall event and/or when deemed necessary by the City in
coordination with public street snow removal operations. The City will
attempt to complete all snow removal operations within 24 hours after
beginning depending on the event and weather predictions.
2. Snow removal operations will be performed with equipment and operators
retained through a private contractual service agreement.
3. The level of service will be limited to what can be provided by mechanical.
equipment. Due to' the limitations of mechanical equipment and trail
irregularities,. pathways may not be cleared or maintained to a dry pavement
standard. No hand work will be performed by City or contractual personnel.
Surface irregularities and slippery conditions may result. No ice control •
(sanding or salting) will be performed by the City or contractor.
4.. It is to be expected that snow can be plowed, blown, swept or dumped on
public right-of-way and easements on either side of the sidewalk/trail as
needed for the best efficiency of operation.
5. Reasonable attempts will be made not to deposit excessive snow in driveways
and/or private sidewalks if is operationally or mechanically controllable.
However, the removal of any snow deposits that may result will be the
responsibility of the adjacent property owner and/or occupant.
6. The City will not be responsible for sand, salt or incidental plow damage to
turf or driveways, nor irrigation systems or any landscaping improvements
located within public rights-of-way or easements. Any related repair will be
the responsibility of the adjacent property owners and/or occupant.
7. In order to perform snow removal operations, pathways must remain free of
any obstructions (i.e., vehicles, refuse containers, play equipment,
implements, etc.) until the pathway snow clearing operation has been
completed. If obstructions are encountered, the City's operation may skip the
affected property frontage and the subsequent removal will be the
responsibility of the adjacent property owner and/or occupant.
8.' School districts will be expected to perform snow removal operations on those
segments of public trails and sidewalks adjacent to their property as necessary
to accommodate designated walkers according to their bus transportation
policy. •
1p
Plan Adoption:
• The sidewalks and trails designated to be maintained by the City of Eagan will be so
referenced on the most recent map adopted by Council action and kept on file in the
Department of Public Works.
C7
Process:
The plan adopted by Council action on June 2, 1998, incorporates approximately 54
miles of the total 110 +/- mile. system. With approximately 50% of the system not being
maintained, it is anticipated there will be requests for other segments to be added. Due to
the cost to add additional segments to the overall maintenance program, it is necessary
that a need and benefit be demonstrated to justify the expenditure of additional funds.
Subsequently, no segment will be considered unless accompanied by a petition of 50
properties lying within 1/4 mile of the segment to be considered. All requests will be
considered only once per year at the first regular Council meeting in April for possible
inclusion into the following season's program.

Aeon s/0-/0(01
Mr. Mayor and Council Members,
I am submitting this letter as background Information regarding the drainage situation that exists
at my property (3865 North Ridge Drive, Eagan, MN 55123). The body of this letter is the
Information that I emailed to City Administrator Tom Hedges on October 51h, 2005. This recounts
what happened on the evening of October 4'h and morning of October 5th, 2005. Included is the
mention of other incidents related to the insufficient drainage, specifically a previous flood during
July of 2000. 1 am also including pictures that were taken the morning of October 51h. That
indicates the water height on the rear exterior of my house.
The email text is as follows:
I appreciate your visit to my property this morning to survey the damage that occurred as a result
of the storm/sewer back-up last evening (101412005). As we discussed, the storm sewer in my
backyard was not sufficient in removing the water from my property, as well as that of both my
neighbor's properties, which drain into the sewer in my backyard,
At approximately 9:30 p.m., I noticed that the water was not flowing into the drain and according
to my neighbor; the water was actually flowing up from the drain as it traveled into all of our
properties. Calls were placed to 911 to notify authorities and see if anything could be done.
At approximately 10:00 p.m., a city worker named Rick arrived and looked at what was
happening. He looked at the storm sewer in the street and indicated it was full and therefore the
one in the backyard would certainly not accept any water. He then left promptly after that
apparently to check something else.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., the water had reached the house and began entering my basement.
At approximately 11:30 p.m., the water had reached its peak, which was 2+ feet high on the
house. Water was coming into the house rapidly. it was at this time that i observed the whirlpool
finally start above the sewer indicating that it had started to drain.
At approximately 2:00 a.m., I saw through the sliding glass basement door that the water had
receded about 1 foot in height.
At approximately 4:00 a.m,, the water had receded to the threshold of the sliding glass door and
water stopped coming into the house.
At approximately 7:00 a.m., you arrived and observed that the water in the backyard had fully
drained into the storm sewer in my backyard.
As you suggested, I'm noting that I recently (August) completed finishing basement. This was an
extensive project.
I'm also noting that a similar incident, although more extensive from an amount of water
standpoint, happened in 2000 and resulted in 34" of water in my then unfinished basement..
Additionally, during a heavy rainstorm in June, water pooled to approximately 60 feet in diameter
and approached the house. Again, water initially flowed back out of the drain for a lengthy period
of time prior to actually taking water in. It never reached the house, but came within 10 feet. At
that time, I asked that a city inspector come out and look at the drain to see if it was up to code.
He informed me that it was.
As you have suggested, my intention is for this email to serve as an official claim to the City of
Eagan for the cost of the necessary clean-up and restoration. In addition, I hope that this email
serves to note the need for an improvement to the existing water collection/drainage system that
serves my property and those around me.
Again, I appreciate and thank you for your timely visit this morning as well as for your assistance
in recovering from this unfortunate incident. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding this
matter.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information_
Thank you,
Thomas F. Sandish
