8. Stormwater Management Board Project Updates

Meyer Manor Terrace/Lake Shore Drive Storm Sewer

This storm sewer system consists of multiple different pipe materials, blind connections, and failing pipes. This will be a significant project most likely beyond annual budget constraints. CBBEL prepared preliminary engineering plans and cost estimates. Based on feedback from the Board and Town Staff, CBBEL is looking into additional options for storm sewer improvements/alignments. Additional information will be shared at the February meeting.

10708 W. 133rd Place, Hanover Plat C

Storm sewer within the public right-of-way was cleaned of debris and is now in good condition. Part of drainage issues are related to blocked culverts under Norfolk Southern Railroad. CBBEL staff has reached out to Norfolk Southern to request maintenance on these structures. CBBEL and Public Works will monitor during rain events.

50/50 Rear Yard Drainage Program

CBBEL prepared draft guidelines for the board's review. The program would allow cost share with homeowners to install rear yard drainage in older pre-platted subdivisions with little to no existing storm sewer. Cost share would be capped at $5,000 for the homeowner, with costs above this cap incurred by the Town.
