Consider remaining flood improvement study areas 3. Set future Study Sessions 4. Adjourn Agenda Number: ;; DATE: March 3, 2004 for the City Council Meeting of March 9, 2004 TO: aie Ahrens, City ManagerWDaunrielFROM: L. Faulkner, P.E. Director of Public Works SUBJECT: FLOOD ANALYSIS REPORT UPDATE AND PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS CITY PROJECT NO. 3126 ACTION REQUESTED: Receive two additional Flood Analysis reports prepared by SEH and provide direction for staff on which options should be pursued. BACKGROUND: The City Council has previously received reports on six of the nine areas identified for study and preparation of Flood Analysis reports. (Note: Site 4 has 2 separate reports.) We are now presenting two additional reports prepared by the City's engineering consultant, SEH for Council consideration. The following is the status of the Flood Analysis reports: Reports Completed Site 1 — Weston Lane west of Vicksburg Lane and north of County Road 6 Site 3 — 4785 Valley Forge Lane Site 4 East — 11235 - 52°a Avenue Site 4 West — 11735 — 52nd Avenue Site 5 — Plymouth Colony Apartments north of County Road 6 and west of County Road 101 Site 6 — 28th Avenue and Sycamore Lane Site 7 — Plymouth Ponds Apartments north of 45th Avenue and west of Nathan Lane Additional Reports Completed Site 2 — Greentree West neighborhood south of 30th Avenue and east of Alvarado Lane Site 8 - Southwest corner of Teakwood Lane and Sunset Trail (145 Teakwood Lane) Report Being Prepared Site 9 2615 Jewel Lane — (West of Holly Lane north of 25th Avenue) The City Council identified the options that will be implemented for the reports received earlier. However, the source of funding was not identified and staff is to provide the Council with funding options before the improvements are constructed. The recently constituted Surface Water Task Force will be discussing related issues that will impact funding decisions for this work. Consequently funding options for these improvements will not be brought back to the City Council before the Task SUBJECT: FLOOD ANALYSIS REPORT UPDATE AND PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS CITY PROJECT NO. 3126 Page 2 Force is finished. The exception is Site 1 where the improvements were authorized to proceed without the delay. DISCUSSION: The two recently completed reports for sites 2 and 8 are attached for your information. They provide background on the problems and potential solutions. An additional memo concerning Site 8 from Risk Management Coordinator, Bob Pemberton, is also attached. This memo addresses previous flooding issues with this property. The analysis of Site 8 also includes a variety of flood protection options with the lowest cost option once again being the flood proofing of the flooded home at 145 Teakwood Lane. The estimated cost for a simple flood proofing solution for this house is $30,000 which is less than the $40,000 generic estimate due to the type of house and additional onsite analysis completed. The site 2, Greentree West, Flood Analysis indicates that the high water level produced in the June 24, 2003 storm event was approximately 997.6. While we only had one property owner report flood damage from this rain storm, surveyed elevations of homes around the Greentree West Pond show that there are four homes below this elevation. In addition, there are four more homes with low opening elevations less than one foot above the established 100 year high water elevation of 997.0. The 100 year elevation is typically what is referenced when establishing required freeboard for basement and/or low opening elevations. The Flood Report indicates a variety of options to create flood protection for these homes, the cheapest of which would be to flood proof the homes by constructing a walk up with a covered porch attached to the house. A generic cost of $40,000 was previously estimated by our engineer, but this cost greatly depends on existing conditions and required fill. This cost is felt to be a probable maximum per house. Staff has received unfavorable comments on this option due to the aesthetic nature of this type of flood protection. Site 9 was just added to the analysis on January 20, 2004. City staff and SEH have met with the property owners and it was determined that survey information is needed to adequately analyze the site. Now that much of the snow has melted the survey work is being scheduled and work to complete the analysis and report will proceed. BUDGET IMPACTS: Attached is a cost estimate prepared by staff dated November 5, 2003 which estimates the cost for repair of the June 24/25, 2003 storm event. Estimated costs for improvements resulting from these reports were included in the revised budget for the Water Resource Fund approved by the Council on November 25, 2003. Table 1 is a summary of the costs included in the budget and the cost of the options approved by the City Council at the January 20, 2004 Special City Council Meeting. Table 2 compares the budgeted amount to the lowest cost flood protection (from a June 2003 storm event) improvements. 0:\EngineeringTRO3ECTS\2000 - 2009\3126\Memos\CC_Update_3_9_04.doc SUBJECT: FLOOD ANALYSIS REPORT UPDATE AND PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS CITY PROJECT NO. 3126 Page 3 Table 1 — Special Council Meeting 1/20/04 Water Resource Budget Selected Improvements 1.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: Staff feels that the conditions and issues associated with the homes in Sites 2 and 8 are dissimilar from those flood sites previously considered by the City Council. Therefore, rather than offering any specific recommendations, staff is requesting that the City Council consider the circumstances under which these properties were flooded. In the case of Site 2, Greentree West, no homes would have been flooded with the June storm event if the homes were constructed in accordance with the approved building certificate. In the case of the home at Site 8, there is some question as to when the walkup was constructed as the Flood Analysis shows that this home would not have flooded if there was no walkup. In addition, there is a current claim from the property owner that is being reviewed by LMCIT. Confidential information will be provided to the City Council regarding this matter Daniel L.

The City's design storm for ponding areas is the 100 - year storm, which is a storm with a statistical chance of happening in any one year of 1%. For the Twin Cities metro area the 100 -year storm is around 6 inches of rainfall in a 24-hour period. For the same duration as the June storm event, the 100 -year storm produces 5.3 inches of rainfall in a 12 -hour period. This memo provides a summary of the study and alternatives considered. Cost estimates provided should be considered very conceptual, intended to provide a basis for comparison of options. A more detailed design and estimate should be completed prior to implementation. Method of Analysis We determined that two storm events should be modeled for all alternatives. The City currently uses a 100 -year, 24-hour storm event to determine highwater elevations in all new developments. This event is also used to evaluate highwater elevations in previously created ponds and in lakes and wetlands. The standard technical base for this event is the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, formally the SCS) Type II -24 hour distribution with the assumption that 5.9 - inches rainfall will fall in this 24-hour period. The event that simulates the 100 -year, 24-hour storm will be referred to as the "100 -year event" in the memorandum. The second event we selected to model was one that would simulate the storm that occurred on June 24, 2003. After reviewing storm data, it was determined that the rainfall distribution would closely resemble a synthetic storm developed for the Midwest region called the Huff -3`d Quartile distribution of rainfall. Based on rainfall information in the Plymouth area, it was concluded that the storm on June 24 lasted about 12 hours, with a 1 -hour period of intense rain. The total rainfall amount produced was estimated to be 6 -inches in the 12 -hours. This will be referred to as the "June storm event". After a site visit and review of existing information collected, it was determined that a detailed hydrologic model would be needed to complete the analysis of this site. Detailed contour information did not exist for Greentree Pond so an aerial contour map for the area was produced for this project. This was supplemented by information available for the developments to the Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. Your Trusted Resource Equal Opportunity Employer Site 2 - Greentree Neighborhood March 5, 2004 Page 2 north (Churchhill Farms) and south (Bay Pointe) of Greentree Pond. With contour information produced for the Greentree neighborhood area and record drawing information available for the developments to the north and south respectively, we developed a HydroCAD® (hydrologic) model to simulate the two storm events. For the existing conditions model, the outlet was a 21" concrete storm sewer with a flared end section and trash guard. Based on the as-builts, the normal elevation of the pond with this outlet configuration was 994.30 feet. This was the outlet that was in place the night of June 24, 2003. Due to the large amount of duck weed and other debris in the pond, the trash guard had a history of partially plugging and thus may contribute to higher than normal water elevations in the pond. If the pond elevation is higher then the planned normal elevation and has a partially plugged outlet there is a higher probability of increased highwater elevations during extreme flood events. Because of these concerns, the outlet has since been replaced with a skimmer outlet structure that will prevent the outlet from being plugged with duck weed and other floatable materials. Once the existing condition model was created and calibrated, the model was revised, with the new skimmer outlet configuration, to evaluate the alternatives proposed to alleviate the flooding. With the changes in the outlet, the plans indicate a normal elevation of 994.22 feet. The changes to the outlet configuration were reviewed to determine if the new outlet would have any impact on the modeling of the pond. Because the elevation difference is only 0.08 feet and the skimmer structure reproduces the hydraulics of the original outlet, it was determined there will be no change in the operation of the outlet hydraulics of the pond. The new outlet will however prevent the potential of partial blockage of the outlet. The City's Water Resources Management Plan records the 100 -year event High Water Elevation HWL) for the pond at 997.0. This elevation was determined when the pond was designed over 20 years ago and assumed developed conditions for the entire watershed. An updated computer model which incorporates the development to the north produced a HWL of 997.1 for the 100 - year event. Since the elevation difference was within 0.1 feet, the parameters used in the new model for drainage area and runoff factors appear to closely match assumptions used to complete the analyses over 20 years ago. The second point of calibration was to compare the highwater elevations observed by the residents during the June storm event and those simulated in the model for this same event. During the June storm event, the resident at 2940 Alvarado Lane indicated there was 3 inches of water in the basement and the pond elevation was about 1 foot over the top of the culvert. The lower floor of the house at 2940 Alvarado Lane is 996.78 feet and when 3 inches of water in the basement is added to this elevation, the pond highwater would be near 997.0 feet. However, the final water elevation in the basement may not indicate the actual highwater in the pond since it could have built-up on the backdoor before it flowed into the basement. Based on a site survey, the inverts of a 48 -inch equivalent arch culvert crossing 30`h Avenue were established at 993.9 and 993.1 for the north and south ends respectively. The top of the culvert was surveyed at 996.5. Thus, a second check was the observed one foot of water over the top of the culvert elevation of 996.5 putting the highwater elevation at 997.5. The final check would be elevations of other homes located around the pond. Since no other home owner Site 2 - Greentree Neighborhood March 5, 2004 Page 3 indicated damage, the next lowest elevation was checked and was found to be at 997.01. If it assumed that water did not enter the basement of this home, then this calibration point would support a highwater near 997.0 (assuming no water ponded on the door of the walkout). The observed information indicates the pond reached an elevation between 997.0 and 997.5 during the June storm event. The computer model was run and calculated an elevation of 997.6 for the June storm event. Since the purpose of the study is to compare alternatives and the relative impact they have on reduction of assumed highwater elevations, the highwater elevation calculated in the model for the June storm event will be the assumed base existing highwater elevation (997.6 feet). Since the house at 2940 Alvarado Lane had a basement elevation that was below the assumed 100 -year event highwater of 997.0, additional information was collected that included the Certificate of Survey on file with the City dated June 1977 for Lot 1, Block 6, of Greentree West home that flooded). This document indicates the basement floor was to be constructed at elevation 998.17 feet. Survey information collected by the City in December of 2003 indicated the home at 2940 Alvarado Lane has a walkout elevation or lowest floor opening of 996.78 which is 1.49 feet below the elevation on the Certificate of Survey. Because of the concern that other homes were built at elevations lower than the 997.0 (100 -year highwater elevation) or 998.0 (100 -year elevation plus 1 foot) all lowest openings into the homes surrounding the pond were surveyed. Homes with surveyed elevations below 998.0 are summarized in the following table.

It was determined that during the rainfall event in June, the final destination for the runoff, Mooney Lake, was at near record high elevations. An additional computer run was made for June event assuming that Mooney Lake was at elevation 990.0. The impact of this elevation in Mooney Lake is that it would backwater into the Bay Pointe Pond and raises the normal elevation of this pond 1.54 feet above its outlet elevation. The impact of this higher water in Bay Pointe Pond was that it raised the June storm event elevation in Bay Point Pond from 993.0 Site 2 - Greentree Neighborhood March 5, 2004 Page 4 without Mooney Lake to 993.3 with the Mooney Lake highwater. However, this highwater elevation is still lower than outlet pipe from Greentree Pond and thus had no impact on the calculated elevation in Greentree Pond. Since the bounce in Greentree Pond for the June event was only 3.3 feet (assumed June storm event elevation of 997.6 feet minus the outlet elevation of 994.30 feet), the control of the discharge from the pond is more than likely at the entrance of the outlet and not impacted by the tailwater from the downstream pond or Mooney Lake. The resident at 2940 Alvarado Lane inquired about the impact the area north of CSAH 24 known as Churchill Farms had on Greentree Pond. We analyzed Greentree Pond with Churchill Farms in a developed and undeveloped condition to address this question. The computer model indicated the elevation of Greentree Pond for the 100 -year event is 997.1 feet with Churchill Farms in a developed condition as it is today. With Churchill Farms in an undeveloped condition, the pond elevation produced by the model is 997.0. We concluded that the development of Churchill Farms has little impact on the elevation of Greentree Pond due to adequate detention storage in Churchill Farm's storm water ponds. The City's current standard freeboard is 2 feet from the lowest floor elevation to the water elevation produced by a 100 -year event. Reviewing the existing information we concluded that lowering the flood elevation for a 100 -year event to 994.7 (2 feet below 2940 Alvarado Lane) is not a realistic goal. The alternatives we explored attempt to lower the pond elevation as much as possible given the existing conditions in an effort to prevent flooding during the June storm event. Alternatives To protect the house from flooding during similar June event storms, we considered several alternatives. These can be categorized into four major areas 1) changes to the outlet from the pond, 2) increased storage by excavation, 3) reduced flow to or divert flow from Greentree Pond and finally, 4) flood proof the homes. The results are summarized in the following text. Outlet Changes We considered replacing the existing Greentree Pond outlet with a larger capacity outlet Alternative IA). This alternative would require replacing the outlet from the south end of Greentree Pond to Pond MP2B in the Bay Pointe development. Also, because of passing additional flow downstream, a larger outlet for Pond MP2B would be required. The total length of replacement is approximately 1250 feet and would require street reconstruction, utility modifications, and property restoration. Existing conditions dictate that a 36 -inch outlet is the largest outlet constructible. The 36 -inch outlet lowers the pond elevation approximately 0.8 feet for the modeled June storm event. The cost estimate for this alternative is $438,600 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies. Based on feedback from the residents, we considered lowering the outlet pipe from the ponding area to provide the potential for more discharge of water from the pond. Two options were considered for this scenario. Because the pond has a protected normal water surface elevation for both options it was assumed that a weir structure would be placed to maintain the water surface elevation at its current level, but would be of significant length so it does not act as a Site 2 - Greentree Neighborhood March 5, 2004 Page 5 control outlet from the pond. The first option lowered outlet pipe option assumed the existing 21" outlet pipe would be lowered. This would require the installation of new pipe or if possible salvaging and reinstalling the existing 21" storm sewer (Alternative 1B). For this option the highwater in the pond is reduced by only 0.1 feet for the modeled June storm event. The cost estimate for this alternative is $336,700 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies. A second lowering option assumed that the pipe size would increase to a diameter which provided the same benefit as a new 36" new storm sewer (Alternative 1Q. With lowering the outlet the pipe, the outlet storm sewer size is reduced from a 36" to 30" diameter pipe; however, the increased discharge has an impact on the downstream pond (Bay Pointe) and therefore requires an increased outlet be constructed from Bay Point to Mooney Lake. The cost estimate for this alternative is $409,000 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies. Pond Excavation We considered excavating the entire island within Greentree Pond (Alternative 2A). This alternative lowers the elevation by approximately 0.8 feet for the modeled June storm event. Removal of the island requires approximately 23,000 cubic yards of excavation. The aesthetic and recreational value of the island and trail would be lost with this alternative. The cost estimate for this alternative is $356,500 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies. We considered excavating a portion of the island to increase storage in Greentree Pond while leaving the trail crossing the island intact (Alternative 2B). This alternative lowers the elevation by 0.3 feet for the modeled June storm event. The excavation required to accomplish this is approximately 8000 cubic yards. The cost estimate for this alternative is $135,500 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies. We considered replacing the outlet and excavating the entire island (Alternative 2C). This alternative lowers the elevation by approximately 1.2 feet for the modeled June storm event. The cost estimate for this alternative is $837,500 and includes the major items to be completed during construction; engineering, administrative and legal costs; along with contingencies Reduced or Diverted Flows Upstream We considered restricting the flow from Churchill Farms development (Alternative 3A). The flow restriction required to lower Greentree Pond 0.5 feet results in an added 1 foot bounce in the storm water ponds in Churchill Farms for the modeled June storm event. The other concern with this alternative is that wetland areas upstream of 32"d Avenue have a history of flooding some streets during large storm events. A restriction in the outlet from the system would make this occurrence more frequent. A cost estimate was not performed for this alternative because of the adverse conditions it causes upstream at Churchill Farms. The final alternative considered was to reroute the Churchhill Farms outlet west to Holy Name Lake (Alternative 3B). This option would reduce the amount of flow going into Greentree Pond Site 2 - Greentree Neighborhood March 5, 2004 Page 6 and also reduce the volume of runoff to Mooney Lake. The impact of the diversion is it would reduce the modeled June event flood elevation in Greentree Pond by 0.6 feet. Since the runoff would outlet into the City of Medina and change watershed flow patterns, considerable coordination with and approval from the City of Medina and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District would be needed to implement this alternative. Preliminary contact with the City of Medina indicates that they do not have a model of the watershed and thus additional hydrologic and hydraulic modeling would be required to determine the impacts of the flow change. If the project would have negative impacts on Holy Name Lake or the downstream system the project would not be feasible. The cost of rerouting the Churchhill Farms drainage to Holy Name Lake is $362,700 (Alternative 3B). The cost will be reduced if during the feasibility study of the project it is determined that the outlet can be discharged into the treatment pond north of the Church and east of Holy Name Lake. Home flood proofing We considered leaving Greentree Pond and the storm system intact and flood -proofing the effected homes for the June storm event (Alternative 4A). The houses can be flood -proofed by changing the walkouts from the basements into a walkup and small berm built around a portion of the yard directly in the back of the house. For the house with the lowest opening a window, the conversion would be to regress window. Since this option impacts private property it would have to be agreed upon by the property owners. We have determined that the most costly scenario is one in which the back of the house is flood proofed and the area over the walkup is protected with a covered porch attached to the house. The estimated cost for this scenario is 40,000 per house flood proofed. Depending the existing conditions of house and required fill, this cost could be reduced once a contractor prepares an estimate based the specifics conditions of the house. The amount of potential flood storage lost with the elimination of the basement areas and small amount of fill around the houses was looked at. Modeling completed for the study assumed that basement areas would not be included in the computations for storage area of the pond and thus the potential loss of storage has already been addressed. Also, since most all the fill would be above the 100 -year flood stage elevation of 997.0, the impact to the modeling results is also negligible. If there is a concern of lost storage, a minimum amount of area could be mitigated around the pond, most likely from the island. A summary of the modeling for the June storm event and 100 -year event are attached.

Walkout elevation of 2940 Alarado Lane surveyed at 996.67. The walkout elevation is built below the 100 -year HWL elevation. Because this house was built too low, a detailed survey of all house around the pond was undertaken to see if other house were built to low. Because of the number of alternative considered for this location, no future actions were determined at this time. Future action will be discussed in detail by the City Staff and City Council to determine the appropriate actions action that need to be undertaken based on benefit and funding.

Discussion by: Rocky Keehn Date: General Comments: For this location there was not comprehensive model which incorporate the Greentree Development, Bay Pointe Development to the south and Churchhill development to the north. It also appears that the 100 -free board elevation for building homes was set at 1 -foot instead of the 2 -feet which is now the City standard. Available Data: As-builts of the storm sewer system and Grading plans of the developments to the north and south of Greentree Pond. Additional Data that needs to be collected: I There is no contour map of the Greentree Pond avialable to be used for any comprehensive model. Recommended Future Action(s) based on Available Information: Survey pond or have outside mapping contractor develop a contour map for the Greentree Pond. Recommend mapping contractor which would allow for more area coverage.

This memo provides a summary of the study and alternatives considered based on information we collected as part of our study. Cost estimates provided should be considered very conceptual, intended to provide a basis for comparison of options. A more detailed design and estimate should be completed prior to implementation. Method of Analysis After a site visit and review of existing information collected, it was determined that a detailed hydrologic model would be needed to complete the analysis of this site. Detailed contour information did not exist for the site so a contour and topographic map for the area was produced for this project from a site survey. With contour information produced for the lot and critical surrounding areas, we developed a HydroCAD® (hydrologic) model to simulate the two storm events. The entire area is part of watershed BC66 (City's Water Resources Management Plan). The drainage areas were determined from contour maps that pre -dated the development and a site visit. The total potential drainage area to the storm sewer from the east side of Teakwood Lane was estimated to be 14.25 acres (see attached drainage area map figure). The direct area to the culvert in the yard is 8.20 acres. There is an additional 0.36 acres on the south side of Sunset Trail that more than likely goes into the backyard if it goes down the driveway of the home to the west of 145 Teakwood Lane. An additional 1.89 acres is located on the north side of Sunset Trail, which the resident indicated has flowed south across the road during large storm events and into their backyard at the same driveway location as the 0.36 acres. The final potential contributing area is 3.8 acres to the south that drains into Teakwood Lane, north down the street to the low point catch basins which are located on Teakwood Lane just downstream of the outlet from the low area in the yard. All but the area to the north of Sunset Trail will drain to catch basins in Teakwood Lane. A storm sewer drains directly east from Teakwood Lane to pond BCP23A. Pond BCP23A then drains to Cavanaugh Lake. The area to the north of the Sunset Trail will drain directly into Cavanaugh Lake (BCP23) if it does not cross the crown of the street. We determined that two storm events should be modeled for all altematives. The City currently uses a 100 -year, 24-hour storm event to determine highwater elevations in all new developments. Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. • Your Trusted Resource Equal Opportunity Employer Site 8 - 145 Teakwood Lane March 5, 2004 Page 2 This event is also used to evaluate highwater elevations in previously created ponds and in lakes and wetlands. The standard technical base for this event is the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS, formally the SCS) Type II -24 hour distribution with the assumption that 5.9 - inches rainfall will fall in this 24-hour period. The event that simulates the 100 -year, 24-hour storm will be referred to as the "100 -year event" in the memorandum. The second event we selected to model was one that would simulate the storm that occurred on June 24, 2003. After reviewing storm data, it was determined that the rainfall distribution would closely resemble a synthetic storm developed for the Midwest region called the Huff -3`a Quartile distribution of rainfall. Based on rainfall information in the Plymouth area, it was concluded that the storm on June 24 lasted about 12 hours, with a 1 -hour period of intense rain. The total rainfall amount produced was estimated to be 6 -inches in the 12 -hours. This will be referred to as the "June storm event". The back or west side of 145 Teakwood Lane includes a lower level door from the basement that includes a walkout well. There is also a full sized window north of the walkout well. The walkout well is a block or concrete structure with a bottom elevation near the door opening of 972.72 feet. The elevations at the top of the walkout well from our detailed survey are 974.76' SW corner), 975.08' (SE corner), 975.39' (NW corner) and 975.40' (NE corner). Based on information provided by the City, the resident indicted that the water was about 7.5 inches above the wall surrounding the walkout well for the June storm event. It was assumed that the 7.5 inches was measured at a walkout well top elevation of 975.0 before water overtops into opening. This would put the highwater for the June storm event at 975.6 (975.0 plus 7.5 inches). The model was set-up with a direct drainage area of 8.20 acres plus the 0.36 acres on the south side of Sunset Trail was assumed to be the contributing area to the low area. The result for the June storm event indicated the flood elevation would be 971.5 feet. This is considerable less than what was observed for the June storm event (975.6 feet). The 100 -year storm highwater elevation was predicted to be 975.8 feet which would be closer to the elevations observed during the June storm event and would support the potential for flooding given the right hydrologic circumstances. Since the model did not reproduce the observed flood elevation of 975.6 feet for the June storm event, three variation of the model were considered to create a calibrated model that reproduces the 975.6 elevation. Because of the location of the outlet in a low area and the potential for debris collecting in the area it was first assumed that the outlet was partially blocked during the storm and thus the flow from the site was greatly reduced. The block outlet concept would also reproduce an event in which the downstream outlet pipe capacity is limited and thus again the flow restricted from the ponding. If the outlet is 74% blocked, the highwater elevation in the model is 975.6. The second scenario assumed that more than 6.0 inches of rain fell in this location which would increase the possibility of flooding. Since rainfall storms are not evenly distributed, this area could have experienced more rainfall than other areas in Plymouth. The City staff did have some reports from private residents in the southern portion of the City who indicating that 10 inches of rainfall fell during this event. The model was modified and with 9.2 inches of rainfall and with a direct drainage area of 8.56 acres, the highwater would be 975.6 feet. Site 8 - 145 Teakwood Lane March 5, 2004 Page 3 The final scenario to consider would be one in which all the potential area contributes runoff to the low area. Since the event on June 24, 2003 was of very high intensity, it is possible, as the resident has indicated, all the drainage area described above (8.56 acres of direct area plus 1.80 acres of area on the north side of Sunset Trail and 3.2 acres of area to the south) would flow to the low area. When all these areas are added into the model, the highwater was estimated to be 975.6 feet which matches the observed elevation for the June storm event. All proposed alternatives will be evaluated against these four existing modeled scenarios. Alternatives There are two critical elevations that need to be checked. The first is the elevation of the walkout well around the back entrance stairs to the house at 145 Teakwood Lane. It was assumed that the critical elevation would be 975.0 feet with no changes to the house. The other critical elevation is the house to the south of 145 Teakwood Lane located at 125 Teakwood Lane. Based on the survey, the elevation at the northwest corner of 125 Teakwood Lane is 976.57 feet and at the northeast corner 976.71 feet. The actual elevation of the garage was not included in the survey, however, based on a site visit, it appears that the elevation of the northeast corner is very close to the elevation of the garage opening since the driveway pavement wraps around the northeast corner of the house. The assumed critical elevation for 125 Teakwood Lane will be the lower and thus more conservative elevation of 976.6 feet. For the first alternative (Alternative 1) it was assumed that a new storm sewer pipe would be constructed across Teakwood Lane northeast to Cavanaugh Lake (as shown in the figure attached which shows Alternative 1). It was also assumed that the existing storm sewer (see figure) would continue to operate and the new pipe would be sized for only the additional flow needed to prevent flooding. The new pipe would need to be constructed at or near the elevation of the existing storm sewer outlet. This limits the location of any new pipe that drains to Cavanaugh Lake to the north side of the existing system. With this option the new pipe size required is 15" for the June storm event and 21" for the 100 -year event. The cost for this alternative would thus range between $42,300 and $48,800 depending on which design storm is used. Based on a site visit and reviewing the survey information, it appears that fill could be place around the house up to elevation 978.0 if the walkout well is increased by 3 feet and some modifications are made to the windows and deck area. For any alternative in which fill is place around the house, the critical elevation of 145 Teakwood Lane was assumed to be increased to 978.0 feet. Because fill is being placed in the low area the additional critical elevation to be checked is the house to the south. This critical elevation based on the survey is the northwest corner of the house is 976.6 feet. The next set of alternatives assumed the house would be flood proofed. For the first one we left the flood storage area as is in the yard and also assumed the in-place storm system would be left as is (Alternative 2). With this alternative it was also assumed there would be minimally filing around the house to flood proof the effected home. The house can be flood proofed by increasing the well elevation at the walkout from the basement and since there are also windows, egress window wells would need to be installed. The house already has a block foundation wall, and Site 8 - 145 Teakwood Lane March 5, 2004 Page 4 thus it may be possible to flood proof the walls and place fill next to them with little modification. If the house is flood proofed and the area over the walkup is protected with a covered porch attached to the house it is estimated the project would cost $30,000. This assumes the concrete block walls can be directly flood proofed. Depending the existing conditions of house and required fill, this cost could be reduced once a contractor prepares an estimate based the specific conditions of the house. Flood elevations for this option would match those calculated for existing conditions since the small amount of fill proposed around the house would be not impact the storage area significantly. The third alternative (Alternative 3) is a derivation of the flood proofing alternative in which the yard would be filled except for a smaller low area on the south side of the lot (see attached figure labeled Alternative 3). This alternative places the ponding area in a more controlled location which is not in the middle of the yard and raises the outlet elevation from the yard. This smaller low area would be drained by removing the existing outlet and building a new one in the southeast corner of the lot. The outlet will continue to drain into the existing catch basin manhole on the west side of Teakwood Lane. Alternative 3 assumes there would be no changes to the street and the existing overflow elevation is the crown of the street at 977.3 feet. Once it overflows the centerline of the street, the excess water will travel east into the school parking lot and east to ponding area BCP23A. Although this alternative would solve the flooding at 145 Teakwood Lane, it has the potential to flood the garage of the resident to the south at 125 Teakwood Lane (see attached table). The cost of this option is $94,800 which includes $30,000 for flood proofing around the house. Alternative 4 is the same as Alternative 3 except the street is lowered to provide more protection for the house to the south and also eliminate the outlet from the low area by draining the area directly to the street once it is lowered. The revised overflow elevation is 976.0 at the entrance of the school parking lot. The water from the low area would flow into the street at an elevation near 975.8 feet. Low flows would be picked up by the catch basins in Teakwood Lane. The impact of lowering the street does provide some additional protection to 125 Teakwood Lane see attached table). The cost of this option is $110,700 which includes $30,000 for flood proofing around the house. The City is planning a mill and overlay project of Sunset Trail and at that time would increase the crown to assure the flow remains on the north side of the street. An additional computer run was made to determine the impacts of assuring the water from the north side of Sunset Trail flows directly to Cavanaugh Lake. Only one of the existing scenarios or models assumed that the area to the north of Sunset Trail would flow into the low area and would contribute the flooding that has been experienced therefore it was modified to remove the 1.89 acres to the north of Sunset Trail. With the maximum drainage area (14.25 acres) going to the low area for the June storm event, the highwater was estimated to be 975.6 feet. Once the 1.89 acres of the drainage area to the north is removed, the revised highwater elevation would be 974.7 feet. Since the 100 -year storm event was modeled without the north area contributing, the elevation calculated in the model would not be impacted by any changes to the street. A summary of the modeling for the June storm event and 100 -year events are attached. The table indicates that with the proposed improvements in place, the resident of 145 Teakwood Lane Site 8 - 145 Teakwood Lane March 5, 2004 Page 5 would be provided with anywhere from 1.3 to 3.4 feet of protection depending on the model used, rainfall event and alternative selected. However, the information in the table also shows that the increased protection gained at 145 Teakwood Lane for the yard filling alternatives would come at the expense of the resident at 125 Teakwood Lane since their protection level is reduced by about 0.5 feet. The table includes cost estimates which are a summary of the detailed preliminary cost estimates also attached. pdh Attachment x:\pt\plymo\030400\word\report memos\site 2 -greentree memo 020804. doc Site 8 Summary - Teakwood Lane For Existing and Alternative 1 the critical elevation is 974.76 feet.
