AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING AN EASEMENT AGREEMENT FOR CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS TO THE METROPOLITAN SEWER DISTRICT’S SEWER AND STORMWATER SYSTEM IN OAK KNOLL PARK

City Manager Owens reported that the proposed ordinance would approve an easement to be granted to the Metropolitan Sewer District (“MSD”) for the purpose of allowing MSD to build and maintain an underground detention system, including sewer, stormwater, and other related appurtenances and improvements, within Oak Knoll Park. The goal of the project is to improve the stormwater and sewer system serving the St. Louis region in order to satisfy the requirements of a settlement between MSD and the Environmental Protection Agency and the Missouri Coalition for the Environmental Foundation which was entered into in 2011. Improvements will particularly benefit the Clayton residents in the vicinity. MSD anticipates that the project will be put out to bid this year with construction starting in early 2016. Work at Oak Knoll Park will be completed in the spring of 2016.

The permanent easement includes the northwestern corner of Oak Knoll Park where the precast concrete stormwater management system will be installed. The construction easement will be temporary and will be used for ingress and egress, storage of equipment and materials, and to perform all other related functions necessary to complete the project. None of the work will be at the City’s expense and MSD will restore or pay the City the cost to restore any disturbed areas. In consideration for granting the easement, MSD has agreed to restore the park according to an agreed upon plan which will include reforestation of areas disturbed during construction as well as assistance in repairing other areas that are damaged due to construction. All restoration work will be fully funded by MSD. In addition, MSD will be responsible for recording the easement and submitting one original to the City Clerk. The Parks & Recreation Department, Public Works Department and the City Attorney have reviewed and approved the easement and agreement documents. Staff recommendation is to approve the ordinance approving the easement for the Metropolitan Sewer District. In response to Mayor Sanger’s question, City Manager Owens stated that this would solve the problem on Ridgemoor Avenue. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, Patty DeForrest confirmed that the park would lose about three trees. Alderman Berkowitz commented that this project is a long-time coming dealing with issues for over 10 years. He stated that a resident had asked if MSD could begin as soon as tomorrow.
