Review Exhibits C, D and F, Cook has proposed a 3' deep drainage swale, 4» wide at the base with 4:1 slopes to be installed within the French Creek existing drainage easement of 20'. The City will obtain temporary easements to construct the drainage swale within the property. The drainage swale will help to relieve the drainage that collects in the northwest catch basin located within the Jentilucci property. The excavation of approximately 150 cubic yards from the French Creek property will alleviate ponding above the 952 elevation (elevation of the Jentilucci parking area). As Engineer's report notes, the project could be completed under a City contract or the developer could do the work. Please review Exhibit E, Mr. Hilbelink's most recent letter. The applicant advises that it appears unfair to ask a single property owner to be responsible for what appears to be an existing public drainage problem within the neighborhood. He is concerned with the liability of assuming the responsibility of the project no matter how low the cost. Hilbelink is concerned that the City and/or neighbors will be coming back to him to make the necessary changes if he assumes responsibility for the alterations. Staff has reviewed Mr. Hilbelink's concerns with Glenn Cook. Cook has advised that Hilbelink's excavator would be able to provide the necessary equipment to excavate the drainage way and use the approximate 150 cubic yards of topsoil fill with the final grading for the proposed residence on the property. The City could in turn be responsible for the final discing, grading, seeding of the drainageway, and maintenance of erosion control.
