Deictunann, City Engineer RE: Flood.ing and Drainage Problen on SouthPorter Road On March 10, 1992, Assistant City Engineer, Dave McDermott, inspected Sublot 300 on Porter Road. A copy of his report is attached. It appears that drainage problems with the lot are nrinor, and thep would be properly addressed in the normal course of correctly grading this lot when the-house is constructed in order that raa water from Sublot 300 is allowed to drain oarto neighboring property. . Ftirthermore, the Service Department is plarining to clean and regrade ditches along South Porter Road thi.s sunmer. The Fngisieering Department will be providing assistance in setting proper grades for the ditches. I firnil.p believe that the work plarmed for the ditches will reduce flooding problesns related to obstructed or Undersized ditches, and that the slight increase in stormwater drainage from the construction of one house wi11 be insignificant compared to the drainage inprovement that is planned. With respect to a comprehensive drainage study, the Engineering Department does not currently have the available- time for a field crew to collect topographic data regard.ing drainage problems prior to you meeting of March 26, 1992. Several other projects have already been assigned to the crew for pIan preparation for projects to be constructed later this year. I would, therefore, recommend that m drainage study be conducted before the ditch work is completed. - ` ? ` . Paul W. Deichmann, P.E. PWD:rr Attachment cc: Ralph H. Bohtinann David R.
