Mr. <br />Hanson asked me to write you this letter to inform you about the project as <br />it involves work within the City and work on City property. <br />The District is in the process of developing plans and specifications <br />for construction of a large stormwater storage and water quality treatment <br />basin. It would be constructed largely north of the North Star Estates <br />Mobile Home Park located north of Owasso Boulevard and west of Country Drive. <br />The District has determined this project is necessary for a variety of <br />reasons: <br />1. <br />The existing storm sewer facilities cannot handle flows from the <br />tributary watershed at its present developed state. Increased <br />development will further aggravate the problem. <br />2. The mobile home park is experiencing on -going flooding problems. <br />Even small rains result in major problems for the residents. <br />3. Owasso Boulevard has been overtopped by flood waters in the <br />This road and the utilities that lie within its right -of -way <br />be subject to considerable damage. <br />past. <br />could <br />4. Sediment and nutrients from flows in this area are adding to <br />sedimentation and water quality problems in Lake Gervais <br />downstream. <br />Page 27 <br />
