A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING SUBMITTAL OF A COST SHARING PROPOSAL
TO THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE US-191 MOAB
NORTH CORRIDOR STORM WATER DRAINAGE SYSTEM
WHEREAS, the City of Moab has been working with the Utah Department of Transportation
UDOT) in a cooperative manner to address storm water drainage issues along US-191 within
the north corridor of Moab City limits, and
WHEREAS, the City's primary concern in the area in question has been to deal with storm
water drainage generated from Stewart Canyon; and
WHEREAS, UDOT's primary concern has been to deal with drainage outfalls along US-191
that affect highway construction and enhancements; and
WHEREAS, UDOT has been unable to address roadway capacity and design issues in the
area in question because the aforementioned drainage issues have not been resolved; and
WHEREAS, the City of Moab has studied these issues with UDOT engineers and HW
Lochner as consulting engineers for UDOT; and
WHEREAS, the parties have determined that a storm water system can be constructed that
addresses both UDOT's and City's UDOT's primary concerns, at a lower overall cost than if
these concerns were addressed separately; and
WHEREAS, this proposed system would involve upsizing the length and size of the lines that
UDOT would have constructed to address UDOT's concerns, in order to add the drainage
from Stewart Canyon into the drainage system; and
WHEREAS, UDOT commonly refers to such upsizing as "betterment"; and
WHEREAS, the cost of "betterment" of a UDOT system above and beyond what is required
for UDOT's purposes is normally borne by the entity requesting the betterment; and
WHEREAS, a diagram and budget analysis of this proposed system are attached to this
resolution; and
WHEREAS, this proposed system would have the following basic elements:
• The capture of drainage from approximately 290 acres of essentially undeveloped area
on the east side of US-191
• Extension of a storm water trunk line within the UDOT Right -of -Way from
approximately MiVida Drive to Motel 6/Black Oil
