SUBJECT: Storm sewer system for Darul Argum Subdivision
A question has come up concerning the presence of storm sewer piping on Iowa
Avenue to serve the Darul Argum Subdivision. Please note the attached map, which
is a segment of the over-all storm sewer system map. The solid lines and boxes are
the pipes and intakes. The dashed lines on some of the streets are footing drain
collector lines that the City has constructed to serve the adjacent property.
Please note that the general layout of a municipal storm sewer system does not
provide for pipe systems along all properties. This can be seen along all of Iowa
Avenue, Scott Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, and Michigan Avenue, as well as on
portions of Ross Road and Ontario Street.
In conjunction with the proposed three-lot subdivision, staff reviewed the need for
direct connection to the storm sewer for the three lots and determined that it is not
needed until the actual development occurs. If the land were to be developed as
single family lots, the City would be required to extend a footing drain collector line
along Iowa Avenue to serve the new houses. This is a long term policy of the City
and is used in all residential subdivision areas.
Since it is not the intent to develop the land as three residential properties, the staff
will review the mosque site plan to determine the storm water effects once it is
resubmitted. If the resubmittal resembles the initial site plan, the mosque will be
implementing a stormwater management system that provides for on-site storage with

piped discharge to the existing system on Ross Road. The discharge pipe is an 8"
pipe to control the rate of runoff. The pipe system will involve approximately 500
feet of 8" pipe that is entirely financed by the site developers. No public funds are
involved. The rainfall is stored in the parking lot before it discharges to the 8" pipe.
The site grading plan provides for overflow into the street once the storm water gets
about 11/2 feet deep. The first floor of the mosque is one-half foot above the overflow
elevation.
I hope this provides you with the information relative to the storm water concerns of
the Darul Argum Subdivision. Please feel free to contact me if you have other
questions.
