CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT JENTILUCCI - DRAINAGE PROBLEM City Attorney Radio noted that Council asked him to give a legal opinion on the Jenti lucci drainage ditch at 1295 Briar Street. Radio stated `hat the ditch is on private property and that it is the responsibility of the owner to maintain the ditch per Section 9.04 subd 2 of the Orono Municipal Code. Radio further noted that the City is not responsible or liable for the ponding of water on the Jentilucci property, since the existence of the culvert does nct increase the runoff that would otherwise flow onto the Jentilucci property. Radio explained that regardless of who built the ditch, the ditch is now on private property and must be maintained by the owner. Radio stated that as part of the Crystal Bay Sewer Improvement Project , the City may want to have the City Engineer address alternatives to alleviate the runoff problem. Alex Jentilucci of 1295 Briar Street explained that the City put the road in and thereby increased the water flow. Jentilucci noted that the culvert relieves the property across the street from ponding and flows onto his property. Jentilucci stated that the City repaired the culvert a few years ago, the grade of' the culvert was changed thereby causing the water flow problem. Jentilucci stated that the City deepened and widened the ditch at that time, which created ponding. Jentilucci stated that the water is filling up his drainfield. Jentilucci explained that the culvert collects water from 10 acres in the Crystal Bay area.
