Drainage problem on W. Kirkwood Avenue
Drainage problem on W. Kirkwood Avenue
Message taken by Mary Ellen, Planning Dept. Bierce has a drainage problem on the north side of his property. The runoff is going into his basement. He feels that it is coming from Yancy Motor Sales.
Recently purchased this property. Says there is a drainage ditch behind property in City ROW which is badly plugged up with debris. Says this drainage "creek" drains much of Park Ridge area and the whole thing is clogged up. Would like City to have it cleaned out.
Street drain in front of her house cannot handle flow of water even when cleaned out. this is a longstanding problem and she wants a more effective one put in by the city. Please inform Council member Jason Banach, 337-0204, of what is planned to solve this problem and keep him updated.
Comments come from citizen's leaf collection survey response. Storm drains at Ramble Rd W and Rusgan are "a real problem". They are always clogging up and don't work as they should. Need more regular maintenance, one is completely buried. Wants to talk to someone about this and point out the problems.
Mrs Clark would like the City to clean out the ditch. Full of sand and debris
THE CHURCH AT 515 N GRANT STREET WAS CONVERTED INTO APARTMENTS. THERE WAS WORK DOWN IN THE PAVED, N-S ALLEY THAT RUNS FROM 10TH STREET TO 9TH STREET. MR. LEISZ THOUGHT IT WAS SOME TYPE OFUTILITY WORK. THE CONTRACTOR DID NOT REPAIR THE ALLEY VERY WELL. WHEN IT RAINS THE WATER NOW POOLS AT THE BACK OF THE CHURCH AND MR. LEISZ'S PROPERTY. LEISZ FEELS THAT THE WORK DONE IN THE ALLEY HAS CAUSED THIS PROBLEM.
THERE ARE DEEP DITCHES ON EITHER SIDE OF MORNINGSIDE. WHEN IT RAINS, ESPECIALLY A HEAVY RAIN, THESE DITCHES FILL UP. THE WATER TENDS TO POOL AT THE INTERSECTION WITH LEXINGTON. THE WATER SETS AND BECOMES STAGNANT AND ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES
Complaint was relayed by David Hamilton. Problem with drainage ditch and drain going under Concord. Apparently it is not handling the water the way that it should and is eroding Mr. Burton's yard.
TREES WERE TAKEN DOWN LAST FALL AND WATER HAS BEEN STANDING SINCE.
