Mr. Carr,Agnoli, Barber& Brundage, updated the Committee with preliminary findings on the
storm water drainage study on the East portion of Forest Lakes Boulevard with the area of primary
concern being the T sections at the front entrance area and distributed elevation comparison charts
for reference noting:.
• Installation of pipes in lieu of swale modeling studies demonstrated pipes were ineffective
in handling the volume of water; as the large diameter pipes required would not be cost
effective, and the piping option has been discarded.
• Four options were presented with Engineer's Preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost;

1. Basin split with improved pipe from Forest Lakes Blvd. to Lake 18 modifying J-5 inlet
top to grate, add concrete curb flume, and installing a 36" concrete pipe from the
junction box to the lake for an estimated cost of$36,800.

Boulevard to further improve water flow. The firm noted they would have to provide a revised
estimate.

an estimated cost of$97,000.
3. Basin split with improved road crossing pipes and swale improvement resulting in
significant improvement in Basins 2, 4a and 4b for an estimated cost$133,800 (option
1- $36,800 plus option 2 - $97,000).
4. Install storm pipe from Lake 18 to Lake 15 at an estimated cost of$472,000 (not cost
effective as noted above).
