She noted that a petition has been received from area residents who are 33 concerned about drainage. She indicated on a site map the ponding plans for the 34 development. Mayor Reinert noted that if he lived in the area, he would want to know 35 how long he would have to bring up any problems that arise. City Engineer Wedel 36 explained the city's process of reviewing drainage. We require grading plans be 37 submitted that show run off in storm events of different levels. After the work is done, 38 the city will also look at an "as built" report to make sure the plans were followed. That 39 is basically where the city signs off on the project. If the area doesn't function as planned 40 for some reason that would basically fall back to the city. 41 42 Paul Whaley, 6200 Laurene, passed around a picture of the area in question shown on his 43 iPad. After hearing about the city's plan review, he is still concerned about water. There 44 is water standing on this property even during drought conditions. He believes that all 45 four sides of the property will be affected by water.
