Item Description
Cretex Pond at 1H 10 and U land Avenue
Item Number
Introduction
Since the early stages of the 2005 Street Reconstruction Project, we have been working with
Cretex Companies to improve the quality of their storm water discharge under 1H 10 through the
City storm drainage system, ultimately oucletting to Lake Orono. Rather than assess them for
storm drainage in the 2005 Street Reconstruction Project, we have attempted to work with them
to get a pond constructed on the north side of 1H 10 to filter the storm drainage that comes off
their plant property.
Discussion
In working with representatives of Cretex Companies, we understand that theywill be removing
all of the houses on the east side of Upland Avenue which they own. We have worked with them
and the Technical Evaluation Panel to develop the attached plan for a pond to be constructed in
the northeast quadrant of Upland Avenue and 1H 10. We have estimated the project cost for the
construction of the pond and pipe system, along with landscaping the entire area, at $217,000. In
addition to this, Cretex Companies will have the cost of demolition of the two homes located on
these properties. Through negotiations, Cretex Companies has also agreed to give the City a
drainage and utility easement over the entire ponding area and to provide a 17-foot wide strip of
right of way along the east side of Upland Avenue all the way to Meadowvale Road, to
accommodate future road expansion.
In our most recent meeting with representatives of Cretex Companies, they have suggested that if
the City were willing to contribute $60,000 to the construction of this pond and pipe system, they
will facilitate the entire construction and landscaping according to the plan prepared by City staff.
In addition, they will give the two easements mentioned above. The City will prepare these
easement documents after the pond construction is complete. They are willing to facilitate the
construction so that they can use some of the dirt generated from the pond construction to
provide berming further to the north where they have also removed homes. They are also very
interested in being directly involved in the landscaping of the area to try and screen their plant
from Upland Avenue and areas to the west.
This proposal from Cretex Companies still has to be approved by their management. I have
discussed this proposal with Lori Johnson, City Administrator. Both she and I see this as a good
option for the City to get this ponding accomplished.
I will be unable to attend Monday evening's City Council meeting. If you have questions
regarding this proposal, please table it until your next meeting when I can be available.
Financial Impact
To pursue this would cost the City $60,000 which would be taken from either the 2005 Street
Reconstruction Project or the Surface Water Management Fund.
