BACKGROUND: Prior Council Action The City Council approved the FY 2009-10 budget Capital Improvements Plan which included an allocation of funds for this project. Project Location and Description The City has received numerous complaints about the drainage at the intersection of Greenridge Drive and Southampton Drive over the past several years. Southampton Drive appears to have been designed to flow approximately 1,200 feet from Lourdes Drive to Newcastle Drive, however Southampton Drive at Greenridge Drive is depressed and stormwater does not completely drain away. Standing water has been reported weeks after a rain event and ice buildup has been a problem in the winter months. The 2009 Various Storm Sewer Project will correct the drainage at this intersection by constructing 540 feet of storm sewer along Southampton Drive from Lourdes Drive to Greenridge Drive. The project will also include the installation of concrete pavement and four (4) inlet structures at the intersection to improve drainage. Repair work at all locations includes earth and pavement work as necessary to complete the drainage work and restore the site to its original condition. Page � 1
