PRESENTATION OF REPORT DETAILS
Mr. Mark Hanson explained present drainage areas and also the separation of drainage
area (Gibraltar) and diverting it to the south to Northview Park and the potential to open up
capacity for JP-30 storm sewer west to Lexington Avenue. He further explained separation and
diversion of storm sewer to south and impact to Pond JP-34 in Northview Park and storm sewer
system. He discussed the impact of 2000 storm; nine (9) homes flooded and the proposed
improvements would help protect all 9 homes from flooding through various changes. Such
improvements included modifications to Savannah Trail which include disconnecting Savannah
drainage from Kettle Creek, revising pond outlet JP-30 and removing the elbow in JP-30 that
raised normal water level two inches.
The residents had the opportunity to ask questions and offer comments about the storm
and the proposed solutions. Concerns included the elbow outlet in pond JP-30, overland flow
issues, the second opinion study, finance concerns, alternatives to reduce the water level
increases in pond JP-30, and the impact to Kettle Creek with the proposed changes. A detailed
record of the meeting proceedings is on file with the Public Works/Engineering Department at
the Eagan Municipal Center.
