STUDY OF FLOODING PROBLEMS IN PIORRELL/CAROLAN AVENUES AREA Director of Pub1ic Works reviewed his memorandum of February L7 and the City Engineer's report of the same date. He recommended council author- Lze staff to proceed with securing a consultant to provide detailed alternatives and estimated costs for a solution to the problem of flood- ing in this area. He stated Alex Bennett, 1034 Morrell, had requested council action j-n a letter to the City Manager dated January 20. The City Engineer's report indicates that flooding is caused by three factors, Sanchez Creek is now silted over two feet restricting flows, the storrn capacities of Lhe existing culvert system will provide for storm freguen- cies of five years only even if Sanchez Creek is empty, and unless the Carol-an-Majilla area drainage is pumped into Sanchez Creek the area drainage will back up. He stated the recommended study should be com- plete in orre or two months. Alex Bennett was present and stated there were 36 residents Present. r John Ca1we1l, 1035 Morre11, showed council photographs taken near his home during the flooding. He said there was 32 inches of waterin front of his house. He suffered damage to his foundation and has received a $10r000 deduction on his tax assessment. Bill McDonald, 1005 Larkspur, stated the drains in the area are only 8 inches which j-s j-nadequate to handle the water. He said there is three feet of mud in Sanchez Creek and water can't drain into the creek. He has lost plants and decorative tan bark from his yard due to the flooding. Cecil Wilson, 1038 Morre1l, stated in the last two years there has been flooding a dozen times. This had never happened in prior years. Alex Bennett prcsented a petitj-on to council requesting council take action on a solution to the flooding. He stressed residents' hope that action is taken to solve the problem before next fa11. He re- quested comrnitment for funding to solve the problem rather than funding for a study. Councilman Amstrup stated after the study council will know what kinds of solutions are available and what kind of money it will take. Councilman Martin sympathized with the residengl, rEtq[lqg [qiq*d^€-X-perienced similar problems with flooding and i€:-tdGl+=€t/*d:trddil+'++-d.elve pro.bler*.
