At previous meetings,
in review of the overall Riverwalk improvements, the
Common Council and CDA agreed that the Riverwalk and
public space areas should be modified in such a way
as to raise the grade of the area, so as to reduce
the potential flooding concerns, as well as reduce
the elevation differences between the Riverwalk and
proposed Charcoal Grill restaurant site. However,
this grade change impacted the structural integrity
of the fioodwall. In this regard, Kapur & Associates
proposed an engineering recommendation to build a
"unit" type of structure. Generally, the fioodwall,
sidewalk and knee (retaining) wall would be tied
together to ensure structural integrity. Without the
construction of the knee (retaining) wall, the city
would be required to install a concrete type
structure ("deadman") to tie into the sidewalk and
fioodwall. The cost of this "deadman" was provided
by Kapur & Assoicates to the CDA. Tom Stelling of
Stelling and Associates was present and showed a
drawing of the proposed retaining wall on the
easement at 280 E. Chestnut Street Charcoal Grill).
The developers, White River Enterprises, LLC, want
to enter into some sort of cost sharing with the
City. Bil Scherrer motioned and Lynn Greunke to
approve recommending to the Common Council the
contract modification of our accepting $16,400 of
the project cost. On a roll call vote, the motion
carried.
OTHER MATTERS
Jenny Trick stated that there will be no meeting on
November 151. The committee will meet as needed. The
White River Enterprises plans to have footing and
foundations in sometime in November.
ADJOURNMENT

carried.
