Accept Storm Sewer and Drainage Easement Lester and Barbara Laabs and the City of Oshkosh 1324 Bismarck Avenue Project Narrative Neighborhood drainage in the vicinity of 1324 Bismarck Avenue currently causes water to flow across the public sidewalk, and down the sidewalk to the nearest driveway. Drainage from an area roughly bounded by South Eagle Street on the west, 4'h Avenue on the north, Bismarck Avenue on the south, and South Lark Street on the east drains through the property at 1324 Bismarck Avenue. This drainage pattern creates a nuisance and hazard on the public sidewalk in front of 1324 Bismarck Avenue. The Property owners contacted the Department of Public Works to evaluate alternatives to mitigate the nuisance and hazard. In order to provide a reasonable mitigation of these issues, the Department of Public Works proposes to install a yard drain behind the public'sidewalk to capture runoff and convey it to the storm sewer system prior to the runoff reaching the public sidewalk. The purpose of the easement is to provide for drainage,and storm sewer system conveyance. A yard drain and storm sewer will be installed, and the area will be graded to drain to the yard drain. The work will be performed in conjunction with the City's Mini -Storm / Storm Lateral contract in 2012.
