Zba?ey: ?TMOMASHEDGES CITV FDMINISLMIOP EVGENE VAN OVEReEKE CITY CIEFN Reantly, you oontacted the City regazdincT your oonoern of surfaoe wates nmoff as it affects your oxvperty (Lot 5) resulting fran the reoent oonstruction of Lot 6 adjacent to and south of your property. Uuring past discussions and meetings with you, I am familiar as tD the preventive measure taken by you to insure aderniate drainagE during the Construction of your dwell;ng i.mit on Lot 5. Last wee]:, I in- spected the drainage problen that you referred to earlier. Our field investigation revealed that during the mnstruction of Lot 6 that the natural drainaqe pattern has been artificiallyaltered during the oonstnaction of the dwelling wtit of Lot 6 ad- jacent to your property. This has resulted in excessive nmof£ beuzg cairected onto your property which presently creates a problan. Consea,uently, Your drainage pro- blans are a direct result di the oonstruction activity of your next door neighbor. As such, your best reoourse to oorrect this problan wvuld be to deal directly with your neighbor to have this issue resolved. If you are unable to satisfactorily resolve this prcblen after direct oontact with your neiohbor, an alternative would be to petition the City for a formal storm sewer inprovement along your oamion lot line within the presently dedicated 10' drainage and utility easenent. This petiticn request could result in the installa- tion of a stoxm sewer systan along your omamn lot line to resolve the problan. All costs associatecl with this wvrk would te assessed equally to Ipt 5 and Lot 6. After revicaing the site, several laxge mature trees would have to he renoved along this lot line for this storm sewer systan to he installed. In additicm, additional t-sr poraxy oonstruction easerents would have to be dedicated by both property aaners to allaa this to occur. Because of the time frane and costs imvolved and adverse im- pact to the woorled lots for this City action, it should only be used as an absolute last resort to resolve the probler.i. riberefore, we strongly urge you to work closely with your neighbor to resolve this problem. I am sure that ance you explain the ad- verse iuTpact his actions have createcl, that a satisfactory resolution to your pm- blem can be obtained. Me n1 i ?? l A. Colbert, P. .
