AGENDA ITEM # 9.3 <br /> City of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes____ <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Rich Spiczka <br /> Date: May 3, 2022 <br /> Subject: Coleman Drive Update <br /> Report: City Staff was able to spend some time with some long time property <br /> owners in the affected area to get a feel for how the road has changed, what <br /> impacts that has had and to listen to some of the concerns. Through these <br /> conversations we learned a few things: <br /> • The Road used to flood entirely pretty much every year at the lowest <br /> point. <br /> • The flooding stopped when a bunch of fill was reused in that area in the <br /> late 90's. <br /> • As that area was elevated so were portions of the road closer to Pequot <br /> Blvd making steep banks on both sides of Coleman Drive. <br /> • The adding of material has created a wider base, which has created a <br /> loss of vegetation and also a larger surface area for catching and <br /> directing water. <br /> • The paving of Pequot Blvd has likely been one of the bigger impacting <br /> factors as now water from a paved road runs right to the <br /> Coleman/Pequot Blvd intersection from all 3 directions. In our research <br /> it wasn't until this took place that anyone can remember the road <br /> washing out. <br /> • Discussions and alternatives discussed that involve safety and <br /> environmental impacts while keeping costs down. <br /> Council Action Requested: Just general discussion on the project, what council <br /> thinks, etc. <br />
