SCHEDULED ITEM IVO. 1: PUBLIC HEARING ON FLOOD CONTROL WORK FOR ADOBE CREEK FROM TEPA WAY TO BL MONTE ROAD. Staff reviewed that this public hearing was called to consider the Flood Controls proposal to concrete line a section of Adobe Creek between Tepa Way and E1 Monte Road. Correspondence relative to this project was noted from Mrs. F. Fava, 26691 Moody Road; Messrs. R. B.; Oliver, 25466 Adobe Lane; N. McIlwraith, 13431 Wildcrest Drive; and L. C. Fowler of S. C. County Flood Control. Mr. Fowler reviewed the plans presented at the last Council meeting noting that the proposed concrete channel would be interwoven around the existing trees and could be colored earthen if desired. He stated if the plan was o.cceptable and pigmentation was desired by the Toxin to effect a more natural visual effect, that Town financial participation ($15,000) would be required for this option. He advised that alternatives available to the proposed channel which would be 101 wide at the bottom, 81 deep and 121 wide at the top (Note: larger than previously stated) would be: 1. Leave the area as is, continuing to subject those homes in the area to flooding. 2. Construct an earthen trapezoidal channel which would require additional R.O.W. to safely carry the flood flaw; removal of 4 homes and more than double the cost of the proposed $300,000 Project. He noted this type of channel would necessitate concrete drop structures in selected locations and there would not be any allowance for natural vegetation that might interfere with the flow. 3. Construct a smaller concrete lined trapezoidal channel estimated at $400,000. 4. Create a semi flood plain for $500,000 but erosion would continue to create problems. 5. Install box culverts - either a 121 pipe with inherent handling n.coblems due to its mass o�: t:wo 8I pipes at a cost of $520,000. 5. Construct an open vertical box at $325,000. T-07aaing the presentation, floor comments were heard from Mies. F. Fava; M. c-- Boissevain, 27181 Sherlock Road; M. Gaspich, 25473 Elena Road; W. Roscoe, 12234 Tepa Way; R. E. Stutz, 25310 Elena; F. J. Schnoor, ?L=: Adobe Lane; J. C. Schaefer, 25631 Moody Road; F. J. Costello, Jr., 2GC'S0 Moody Road, G. N. Browning, 13860 Page Mill Road; H. L. Byrd, 25640 Goode Road and Sanford Hiller of the Sierra Club. Council discussion noted that since the area is developed,a flood plain application was not feasible because there is not adequate R.O.W. available. kw Alternate approaches suggested would be "as required" clearing of the existing creek bed and adding armor plate in certain areas especially subject to eros,on. .2-
