Abstract/Artist Statement
Approximately 1700 acres offarmland, located off Hammer Lane near 1-5, will be set aside to be transformed into an upscale mixed housing and commercial development. A dry levee will separate the remaining farmland from the development, and it will meet a 500-year flood criteria. A land use plan has been provided to WERC Engineering, Inc., to develop approximately 200 of the 750 acres now. WERC Engineering will design an infrastructure master plan for the development's storm, sewer and water needs and also provide adequate flood protection measures. There will be an extended detention basin in the area to control the storm water runoff, provide water quality measures, and provide an aesthetically pleasing environment for the surrounding homeowners and businesses. The existing levees surrounding the development must be built up to a 500-year flood protection level. Furthermore, WERC Engineering will apply to have the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) flood maps changed so that homeowners and businesses can purchase cheaper flood insurance and have sufficient protection. The storm drainage master plan will include master grading for residential and commercial superpads, road design, storm drain pipes and pumping stations. The sanitary sewer design will include the pipe layout of a sewer system and how it will connect to the existing city line. A hydraulic study, soils report, topography map and boundary data have been provided to WERC from otherconsulting engineers and have been verified and deemed as reliable data.
