Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

350 W 11th ST

Case Date:
10/8/2018

I am submitting this Ureport on behalf of Upland Brewing. Pete Batule of Upland Brewing contacted me on 10-5-18 to say that Upland has been experiencing significant issues with odor coming from the storm drains on the north side of 11th street directly in front of Upland's patio. The odor is having a negative impact on their patio dining customers. Here is background on the issue as provided by Mr. Batule: Upland has had ongoing issues over the last few years with odors near the patio. They installed a piece of equipment above their lift station (the Peacemaker) next to the patio to neutralize the smell coming from the lift station. It wasn’t until the Peacemaker was installed that they suspected most of the odor was coming from the storm drains. Phil Peden has done some investigation on the storm drains. He noted there is an illicit connection tying to the north side of the storm box. Phil doesn't believe it is tied to a toilet because there isn't paper in it, but perhaps is related to byproduct or a wash drain/sink coming from elsewhere. Upland has dye tested their facility and found no evidence that the connection on the north side of the storm box is connected to their facilities. The odor comes on very strong at times to the point where they have to relocate customers. They notice an increase in odor around times when it rains and storm drain activity increases. James Hall and I discussed this issue on 10/8/18 and James has started to follow up internally at CBU on next steps. Kelly

Parking Meters and Citations

334 W Georgia AVE

Case Date:
5/8/2024

I was incorrectly fined for a citation that wasn’t in my right of way. I parked in this spot facing the opposite direction as I came from that direction along the TWO-WAY street and leave facing the direction I would park, which is viable and accepted by the Park on Morton residency, as there are frequently and normally others who park the same way. Furthermore there is no parking meter placed in which I could be fined as I have the parking pass in which I pay $100 monthly for parking services. I park in this spot often, my residence town home is directly adjacent to the spot. I asked the Park on Morton office about if this fine was viable, as I wasn’t on street ground or city property next to any meter and was unhinging street conduct, they reassured that I was upset in feeling wronged for my claim as my parking permit entails that I park on street property regardless of direction valid since it’s a two way street and it isn’t within their conduct. My appeal was upheld but basically I parked in a way that I’ve parked many times previously, other cars park both directions all the time especially down that curved road that only leads on to the property which is why I’ve been reaffirmed by the office that isn’t even parking city services area and that they don’t have a right.

Parking Meters and Citations

330 W Georgia AVE

What about the other cars parked the same way? There’s no entailed rule within the property’s say so. My permit doesn’t exceed me out of any bounds to doing something incorrectly, I’ve been parking that way since the beginning of the year, why is it just now an issue? It’s because cops don’t go to that area unless they have to, it’s not a normal street you take unless you’re going into the Park on Morton property, proving my point of being within the property’s say so and my ticket being invalid. I’m just dialing to comprehend how I’ve faulted.

Drainage or Runoff

317 W 14th ST

Case Date:
7/31/2022

There are multiple areas of stormwater runoff and pooling occurring on my property due to the development and ensuing increased runoff produced by the adjacent property at 910 N Madison St. My observations of increased water on my property come from regrading of the property to be higher than mine, a capped drain, building on the N-S alleyway that used to serve as a way for runoff to flow to the street, and redirection of water onto my properties via gutters, tubing, and installed drainage flows that direct onto my property on the north and northeast side of the 910 N Madison property. This has caused flooding in my basement, yard, and driveway that was not there prior to the redevelopment of this property and the vacation of the alley. I have more photos of where the stormwater drainage from this property is deliberately directed onto my properties, but am not able to upload them here due to the limit of one photo. All of lots surrounding this home are now on the market for development at an increased density. My concern is for my current situation and for the increased drainage issues that will come from further densification without mitigation to protect me and my surrounding neighbors. I would appreciate someone to come out to my property to see the current situation and drains installed by the City that are not functioning to protect my properties at 317 W 14th and 920 N Madison from damage by stormwater runoff.
