CASS COUNTY <br /> <br /> 7012822226 <br /> RECEIVEO <br /> <br />JUN 2 4 2002 <br /> <br />06/24 '02 16:~0 N0.333 01/02 <br /> <br /> DHighway <br /> epartment <br /> <br />K~th D. Bemdt~ P,F. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Cazs County Commission <br /> Bcrndt, Cass County Enginee~ ~ <br />K6ith <br /> <br /> 24, 2002 <br /> <br />ASend~ Topic for luly 1, 2002 Ivleeiing <br />Hill Tovm~h{p Bridge R~q.uest for a crossing ove~ the Maple <br />River at sections 11 ~ 14 <br /> <br />Aletier wire received frorothe IJill Towashlp Bol~lXton $tm~ 17,2002. I <br />i~o'~m~K1 that it be referred in th~ Road Advlsoly Coml~itl~e. I'I[ <br />provide some ba~kgrotmd hafo~fion at thia time. <br /> <br />The letter indicated ~ thzt Township Board was/~ut in favor of the <br />County's proposal to in~tall a used culv~-t in place ora township bridge <br />evosslng the Maple River. Tb~ bridge l~l b~n deslxoyed by fire several <br />years ago. <br /> <br />Tho destroyed brldga was on a very low volume road. Followhog thc tim, <br />Ca~ County received a seitlcment f~ora th~ landowner'~ insuraz~ <br />Company o£ approximately $60,000. Th~ bridge that burned znd road <br />immediately ~ij aceut to it w~ built up fairly high but b~l lower seofior~ <br />Several hundred f~t lo th~ ~ast and w~st of the bridge. Thc propo~cl <br />solmioa at this location involved ir~tal/ing a ~ culvert 8.$ feet high ~d <br />13.$ feet vd& culvert in place of the bridge. In order to prevent up~am <br />stage inareazea during flood event~, this ~olufion would require tl~ the <br />township road he loweve, d e,ough ~ allow water to overtop the road at tho <br />crossing during significmat flood eveat$. <br /> <br />The letter inclmOixl a petition requesting that the County ina,all ~lver~ with <br />enough waterway area to aeamamoda~e the flow without an overflow <br />· ~ution. While this would be un ideal t~lmlc~] solution, it's hm'd to jusfli~ <br />this $iz~ of projeut for such a low volume township road. Tbo odds 0f th~ <br />County aeeumulz, ting ~ouffh used culverts in good eoaditioa ~o Frovid~ a <br />large eaougJa opening to aevommo~te the flood flows without an overflow <br />section is unLLkely. <br /> <br />The bridge flint burnext is loca.~d 1 mile noxth of Ca~s Couniy 12 and 1 ~A <br />miles we. st of Cass County 38. Ca~q County roplaced another bridge over <br />the Mapla River about ½ roue downstream several ye~xs ago, Tim location <br /> <br /> <br />
