MANAGERS TO ESTABLISH A LOWER 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN ELEVATION

WHEREAS,

WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
OWHERE:AS I
the City of Hopkins has experienced flooding problems along Nine
Mile Creek that have resulted in property damage, and
the city would like to construct improvements at various
locations along Nine Mile Creek to lower the 100 year flood plain
elevation in these flood prone areas, and
the city has identified the structures at the Hennepin County
Regional Rail Authority crossing, Soo Line crossing, 11th Avenue
South crossing, and the 7th Street South crossing, as needing
improvements to lower the flood plain, and
the structure at the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority
crossing has already been replaced by the city solving an
immediate problem, and
the city has determined that the flood plain elevation north of
the Soo Line crossing must be lowered to at least 895 to reduce
the flood potential of property and streets in this area, and
the city strongly recommends that the flood plain be lowered
further to 893 instead of 895 in this area due to the great
amount of additional flood protection received for a minimal
amount of money.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Hopkins
hereby requests that the Nine Mile Creek Board of Managers
include improvements in their Flood Management. Plan that would
lower the 100 year flood plain elevation of Nine Mile Creek,
north of the Soo Line crossing, to 893.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Hopkins hereby
requests that any City of Hopkins improvement identified in the
Nine Mile Creek Water Management Plan be eligible for Watershed
District funding, including all improvements associated with the
recent culvert replacement at the Hennepin County Regional Rail
Authority crossing.
Adopted by the city Council of the city of Hopkins this 16th day of
February, 1993.
