Dear Mr. . S aw ch uk :
The City
staff have
reviewed your
current dra.inage design located
on your
property at
4105 V%7atertown
Road.
The drainage flow at this time not only ca rrys water from the Kos tka
residence to the east of you and ontc your property, but also a
tremendous amount of water is generated from the Kokesh property
to the north of your property. ^his drainage pattern has been in
existence for many years and was in existence before the home was
built that you now reside in because of the natural ravine in that
area.
You have requested the City to change this drainage pattern and
divert the flow of water to the north side of the Watertown Road
several hundred feet to another drainage area west of you near the
Wyatt residence. The City Engineer has reviewed with us your request
and has determined that 120 lineal feet of corrugated culvert would
have to be installed in conjunction with catch basins. I reviewed
the entire area this r,^rninQ with staff and it is also apparent that
other culverts downstream would have to -be replaced with larger
culverts, driveway entrances and existing ditches would have to be
modified.
This requested project involves diverting surface waters to another
area and is a storm, sewer project that is a non -budgeted capital
improvement expenditure that would be assessed to benefiting property
owners. The cost to do these improvements is estimated to be approxi-
mately $10,000 and would have to be borne by benefiting property
owners. The City has in the past undertaken projects of this nature
and have assessed the costs after receiving a petition, holding a
public hearinq, and completing an engineering feasibility study. We
would follow the same procedures in this particular case since
maintenance funds cannot be used for capital improvement projects.

happy to review with you other similar cases of this nature that
