Mr & Mrs. Deckard are concerned about the detention basin across Countryside Lane from them. They feel it was not laid out properly and is filling up with sand and could be a future problem, causing water to back up into their yard. They would like us to look at it and see if anything can be done.
MR. CARRICO HAS A HOUSE AT 1231 S FESS, THE CORNER OF FESS & BRENDA AVENUE. FESS AVENUE HAD WORK DONE AND THE STREET NOW SLOPES IN SUCH A WAY THAT ALL THE WATER DRAINS INTO THE BASEMENT AT 1231. THE STORM DRAIN IS ON THE HIGH SIDE OF THE STREET. MR. CARRICO HAS INSTALLED A RETAINING WALL AND WAS GOING TO BACK DIRT UP TO THE WALL, BUT THE CONTRACTOR STATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT PREVENT THE WATER FROM GOING INTO THE BASEMENT.
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
