Mayor and City Council Drainage Issues Follow~up December 19, 2005 his Hillside Estates 7th Addition area to potentially fill some of the backyards to ensure that water does not encroach onto private property. Mr. Foster has indicated his plan is to install this overflow line in the spring, possible in conjunction with the continuation of the development of the Hillside area with Hillside Estates 10th Addition. 5. Deerfie1d Third Addition Pond Outlet (Collins/Koch area) In working with Mr. Foster on the permanent gravity outfall from the Hillside Estates area, it has provided us an opportunity for a similar outlet from the Deerfield Third pond. This is the pond that the City has been dealing with Mr. Dan Collins on for several years. This pond takes drainage from Deerfield Third and a portion of Woods at Hillside and has no outlet. I again will have a PowerPoint presentation to discuss in further detail the work that would be necessary to provide a permanent outfall from this area controlling the maximum pond elevation. In general, it would involve providing an overflow from this pond northerly into the Hillside Estates area. This overflow would then convey storm water through the existing Hillside Estates area drainage system northerly to a point where a connection would also need to be made to the Hillside Estates overflow outlet discussed in the item just above. Once this permanent outlet is established, then a connection could be made between the small, isolated wetland area behind Teri Koch's home and the larger wetland ponding area behind Dan Collins home. This would provide a permanent outlet controlling the levels in both wetland/ponding areas. I have notified Mr. Collins by voicemail that this issue will be on the Council agenda Monday so he could be in attendance. 6. Miscellaneous Drainage Issues Beyond the specific drainage concerns listed above, there were a number of other areas of drainage concerns that Phil, Mark, or I were made aware of. We have worked with adjacent property owners and/or monitored situations to make sure that these issues did not get any worse and were corrected. Most of these are relatively minor. Some only involved explaining to adjacent homeowners that the drainage system did work as it was planned since there had been no large rainfall events since people had moved into these areas. I will be available at Monday evening's meeting with a presentation to further discuss some of these drainage issues listed above. I will be looking for City Council direction to continue work on accomplishing the Deerfield Third pond overflow in working in conjunction with the development and storm drainage overflow proposed in the Hillside Estates 10th Addition area.
