MAR 17 1982 TCS: The honorable INIembors of the DATE: March 8, 1982 Board of County Com-mi.ssioners THROUGH: -David L. Greene SUBJECT: Roseland Drainage Assistant County Administror a FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. REFERENCES: Public Works Director DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS �Px.: 49 ;F�4�2(16 FILE: The Engineering Division inspected a drainage complaint in the Roseland area and has researched the location of a major drainage outfall course t-rhich is vital to the drainage of the area south of Roseland Road. The following is a brief review of the problem: An Past -west drainage ditch:.,i.s located within a portion of the unopened right-of-way of Harrison Street between Wauregan Avenue and Brevard Avenue. This portion of Harrison Street has not been accepted for maintenance by the County and as a result, the drainage canal has not been maintained. A number of roads which have been maintained by the County drain into the Harrison Street ditch and these roads are having critical drainage problems. The canal flows east to a private lot owned by firs. Helen Hanson on the east side of hTauregan, then south to a culvert under Roseland Road, thence to the Sebastian River. Mr. Marcellino, who lives on the corner of Brevard and Harrison, initiated the complaint. The County should consider maintaining the outfall ditch and get proper easement thru private property ,here necessary. See the attached dr,aWins, u 1. ALTEMNFIVES QNT) kKUYSIS The following alternatives are presented Alternative i\To. 1. Authorize that a survey be made of the existing ditch through Mrs. iiansen's property, prepare a legal description for an easement through the property, and request Mrs. Hanson to convey to the County such easement. The County would then assume maintenance of the existing ditch to a pipe under Roseland Roa:l. The impact this alternative would have includes the County maintainin approx- imately 1500 L.F. of ditch. Alternative \o. 2 Deny the authorization to maintain the drainage ditch, thereby allrn•:ing the drainage problem to remain. RE--M1•'IFND TION AND FENDING It is recoimended that the Engineering Division and Road and Bridge Division be authorized to proceed -with Alternative No. 1 , thereby requestlrc an easer:cnt from Mrs. Hanson, which she has already agreed to grant. There are no direct costs to the County beyond the additional staff and maintenance work required.
