UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 2: cont'd.: <br />2) Sufficient right-of-way exists on the easterly side of Magdalena in the <br />vicinity of the Harris property to allow installation of a Town path. <br />Acting Manager noted this item had been referred to the Path Committee at <br />the Mayor's request. <br />3) Complaints regarding traffic problems in this area were being investigated <br />by Staff. <br />4) Improvements to the Eckhardt driveway and drainage ditch along the <br />westerly side of Magdalena have been completed to alleviate drainage run-off <br />sheeting across Magdalena on to the Harris property. <br />Acting Manager noted the major problem remaining unresolved was the initial <br />question raised by Mr. Harris requesting that drainage run-off from above <br />not be diverted on to his property. Acting Manager noted that previous <br />Council action had indicated that the water is being diverted to a natural <br />drainage course that existed across the Harris property prior to construction <br />of the residence. Acting Manager stated engineering estimates revealed a <br />cost of approximately $1,500.00 would be invlved in redirecting the drainage <br />run-off along the westerly side of Magdalena instead of following its present <br />course on to the Harris property. <br />Council discussion ensued concerning potential drainage solutions, with <br />Floor participation by Capt. L. E. Harris, Mrs. 4. T. Samuels, L. W. Morse, <br />Town Consultant. The following points were clarified during Council <br />discussion: <br />1) The 8" pipe under the Eckhardt drive on the westerly side of the road <br />would not be sufficient to adequately handle the increased drainage volume <br />in the event the water were diverted from its present course. Therefore, <br />diversion to the westerly side of Magdalena was not feasible due to cost of <br />improvements involved, as well as additional liabilities that would be <br />incurred by diverting the run-off. <br />2) Capt. Harris has a legal responsibility to accept the water on to his <br />property due to the prior existence of the natural water course. <br />3) City Engineer stated that, until the Drainage Committee submits a plan <br />for financing Town -wide improvements, there are no detailed plans available <br />for Magdalena Road. <br />MOTION: Councilman Helgesson moved that this matter be continued for further <br />study. <br />Motion died for lack of a Second. <br />UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 3: <br />CONSIDERATION OF AUTHORIZATION OF DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE VICINITY OF 3 S3 <br />G. E. DEADERICK RESIDENCE AT 26951 ELENA ROAD. <br />Staff report was presented, noting the City Engineer has recommended the <br />expenditure of $1,200.00 for correction to existing public improvements in <br />the vicinity of G. E. Deaderick residence at 26951 Elena Road. Staff further <br />noted construction would involve the construction of a catch basin on the <br />easterly side of Elena Road and the obtaining of a public easement on the <br />Deaderick property. <br />City Attorney stated this situation should be differentiated from that on <br />Magdalena Road where the Town had the right to put water on its natural <br />-5- <br />
