Water is runing onto property and ponding due to grading work done when the new Templeton School was built. Mr. Hatton was in today to tell us of a drainage problem at his address. He says the drainage problem has resulted from the regrading done when the new Templeton School was built.
Complainant says that the house constructed at the above address (3914 Emilie Ct.) was constructed to low and that storm water flows into the patio. (See pictures in Eng. file). The area surrounding the house does not slope away from the foundation.
Complainant bought the house at the above address in 10/95. After buying the house he noticed the storm water inlet in the middle of the driveway. He is afraid it will do damage to his or someone else's car and would like the City to relocate the inlet. (See Letter in Correspondance in file).
Behind 3914 and 3916 Emilie Ct. the ground slopes steeply into the enclosed porches. These porches are taking on too much water. Jacobs thinks that the building were set one block to low.
Swale behind house not properly draining, never dries out, poses a health hazard. ditch needs to be cleaned out to contain the flow of water and trees need to be trimmed to let the sun dry the area out.
Standing water is causing damage.
CREEK NEAR PROPERTY NOT CLEANED OUT OR DEEP ENOUGH. WATER BACKS UP ON HIS PROPERTY NEAR THE DOOR OF HIS HOUSE.
CITY INSTALLED NEW DRAIN PIPE WITH SOD ALONG THE SIDES. THE SOD HAS ERODED INTO THE DRAIN PIPE CAUSING STANDING WATER THAT ATTRACTS MOSQUITOES.
WATER PONDS IN BACK YARD
WATER PONDS BETWEEN WALK AND SARE ROAD ON SOUTHWEST PROPERTY CORNER. SIDEWALK WILL NEED TO BE RAISED TO ELIMINATE PROBLEM.
