2. Western Shorewood Stormwater Plan, Jennifer Koehler, Barr Engineering
City Administrator Lerud noted that in 2017, the City was hearing about a number of stormwater
issues in the western part of the City. He stated that the City asked Barr engineering to examine
the known stormwater issues in the western portion of the City and see if they could be addressed
in a comprehensive manner.
Jennifer Koehler, Barr Engineering, gave a presentation that outlined the problem areas, the
review process for the study, the preferred alternatives for each area and reviewed the
recommended plan. She noted that the six problem areas that were identified were: Shorewood
Oaks; Strawberry Lane; Freeman Park; Beverly Drive; Grant Lorenz Channel; and Noble Road.
She stated that part of their analysis was potentially impacted structures. She gave an overview
of the issues and possible solutions in Shorewood Oaks.
Public Works Director Brown stated that discharging to the right-of-way has a unique set of
challenges. He gave an overview of the subdrain system in Shorewood Oaks where the systems
are essentially competing against each other. Councilmember Siakel asked why this issue is the
City's problem. Public Works Director Brown stated that it is because back when this area was
developed, the City allowed the developer to build this system within the public right-of-way. He
stated that standards have changed and the City would not allow such a system to have a direct
connection now.
Ms. Koehler gave an overview of the issues and possible solutions on Strawberry Lane.
Councilmember Johnson stated that he feels there are also issues below the trail and does not
understand why the City stopped at the regional trail in this area. Public Works Director Brown
stated that they will take a closer look at this area.

Ms. Koehler stated that there may also be an option to incorporate some infrastructure in the road
reconstruction. She gave an overview of the issues and possible solutions for Freeman Park,
Grant Lorenz Channel, Noble Road and Beverly Drive. She noted that depending on which
solutions were chosen, the cost could range from $5.2 million and $6.9 million. She reviewed the
recommended options in each area and noted that if those were selected the total cost would be
around $5.3 million.
Public Works Director Brown stated that Barr Engineering has worked hard on the report and
noted that he understands that a lot of information was just shared with the Council and they will
need time to think about it. He stated that this does need to be moved forward and would like
comments and feedback from the Council as they take a closer look. He stated that it will need
to be added into the CIP so the City can start to scheduling and tackling these issues bit by bit.
City Administrator Lerud suggested that the Council build some time into the next work session
meeting to discuss this issue in greater depth.
