He stated the city � engineer has made the following recommendations : ' "The most economical solution , Alternate 1 , is to obtain a Drainage Easement on Lot 11 and re- I construct the existing driveway and a concrete drainage channel the same width as the existing driveway approach for approximately 100� in length �,': to carry the run-o�f water past the owner's home, wl-�ere the water would spread out over the property as it did prior to the construction o� curb and � gutter on the East side o�' Lucas Drive. However, � this run-of� water will continue to flow onto the � new apartment complex adjacent to the rear of tl-ie � I� lots f acing Lucas Orive. This drainage channel ' ' will also serve as a driveway to the rear of the property as does the existing gravel driveway. The estimated cost o� this Alternate No . 1 sol- ution is $2, 160. 00. The pref erable solution, Alternate No. 2, is to � contruct a drainage system to a point East o� the end o� existing new pavement on Hilltop Drive on the South side of the apartments. A �uture exten- � sion would be required when this adjacent vacant � property is developed when it would be necessary to extend the storm drain Easterly to the existing � creek. The estimated cost of this Alternate No. 2 � solution is $7, 928. 00. The Alternete No. 3 solution is to remove existing curb, gutters and driveways and revise the grade on Lucas Drive to carry all the rUn-ofP water to Hilltop Drive. This would require fills up to 1 . 3' and cuts up to 1 . 12' , and the complete reconstruct- ; � ion of Lucas Drive from Li��scomb Drive, to and in- ' ' � cluding the intersection of Hilltop Drive, and a portion of Hilltop Orive East o� Lucas Drive. Also , the property owners on the East, adjacent to the fill area, would have to place some Pill on their property, which would be considerably below the � grade on Lucas Drive. TI-ie estimated cost of Alter- nate No. 3 solution is $17, 234. 00. " The Assistant City Manager stated the city street depart- ment could per�orm the necessary work to correct the drain- age problem with tl-ie exception of the concrete inlet. � 133 The City Manager stated the city did not have the f�nds to contract for the work , there�ore, he would recommend that city personnel per�orm all work possible. Councilman Eidson moved to instruct the City Manager to advertise for bids and also investigate the possiability and cost of the city per�orming the work , whereas a �inan- cial comparison could be made.
