ENGINEER'S REPORT (DRAINAGE 8A AND 61) At the Council meeting of September 7, 1993, a resident indicated a concern for water ponding in the south east quadrant of County Road BA and Highway 61. The City Engineer submitted a report indicating his findings. If the Council feels this is an item of concern, it may be addressed during the reconstruction of County Road BA during 1994. Leroux: made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to accept the Engineer's report on drainage in the south east quadrant of C.R. BA and Highway 61. All aye. Motion Carried. ENGINEER'S REPORT (WALLER DRAINAGE) The Council received a report from the City Engineer regarding the alleged drainage problems on the Waller property being caused by the Evergreen Hills subdivision. The City Engineer's findings indicates that the development has increased the water runoff across the Waller property to some extent. The City Attorney stated that it is likely that the City has no legal liability in this matter. In addition, any controls the Cit/ may install to reduce the amount of flow across the Waller's property would be expensive, and given the limited increase of water runoff, would have very minor effects on the Waller's property. For these reasons, the staff recommended that the Waller's request to have the City divert runoff from Evergreen Hills property be denied. There was another lengthy discussion regarding the history of drainage in the Evergreen Hills/Waller vicinity. Stoltzman made motion to obtain a cost estimate for berming and extraction of dirt north east of the existing holding pond. Motion died for lace; of a second.
