SECTION 5 <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />5.1 Recommended Drainage Improvements for Fairmont Park East <br />If the City plans roadway improvements in the subdivision then it is advisable to budget <br />for lowering the roadway section and use of the lower roadway to convey the extreme <br />event along with upsizing the storm sewer capacity. This will insure a level of protection <br />against structural flooding but, may still cause street ponding. <br />Alternative 1 is recommended, if the City does not have plans for transportation <br />improvements within the area. A proposed trunk line parallel to the existing trunk line <br />and under northbound Fleetwood Drive from N. Sycamore to the outfall will lower the <br />HGL along Fleetwood Drive and reduce ponding water surfaces in crossing streets. <br />Short-term costs are a little lower based on pipe expense but additional drops in the water <br />surface can be achieved farther upstream if additional capacity is needed. <br />5-1 <br />Klotz Associates Project No. 0127.009.000 Fairmont Park East & Brookglen Drainage Study <br />May 2009 City of La Porte <br />
