Lake Street Alley

The meeting last night with the Main Street group went pretty well last night. The conversation cleared up some design issues or at least showed we needed to do more research. The drainage, area along the north side of 112 S. Main Street and property owners’ responsibilities are better understood.
The City has to look closer at the stormwater drainage issues in the area. This means finding a better outfall to the creek; methods for tying all the sump pumps and down spouts directly into the stormwater; and overall grading.
The design for the area along the north side of 112 S. Main Street will involve steps, landing, 4’ paved walkway and grass. The property owners’ in this area need to resolve grading, building structure and access issues.
The building owners need to determine what that want done on their property. This will affect the design spec’s for the down spout tie ins, their location and materials. The owner at least needs to convey to the city their desired plans relatively soon.
