MAY <br />41983 <br />8°3 <br />�a` .'' <br />system with swales <br />on each side of the road that would <br />divert the drainage to -the 6th Ave. drainage system. <br />Chairman Bird opened the Public Hearing and asked if <br />anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Mr. Milton Watson of 676 16th Place informed the Board <br />that a year before they built the 17th St. bridge he talked <br />to the Flood Control District and the Drainage District <br />commissioners and told them about the ditch between his <br />house and the Volkswagon dealership, where a culvert was <br />stopped up. They said it would be taken care of when they <br />built the new road, but instead they tore the culvert up, <br />stopped it up, and did not put a new one in at all. <br />Mr. Watson continued to complain of severe drainage <br />problems in that -area, standing water and toilets running <br />over, etc.,'and also his lack of success in getting a <br />culvert between his property and the VW dealership, but <br />commented that all of his complaints at last Wednesday's <br />meeting apparently had some effect since the D.O.T. people <br />did come and clean out the ditch at least. Mr. Watson felt <br />he could offer some suggestions on how to improve the <br />drainage problems in the area. <br />It was noted that today we are specifically addressing <br />roadway improvements, but the Chairman asked Public Works <br />Director Davis to work with Mr. Watson in regard to <br />improving drainage for the residents in that neighborhood. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the <br />Board unanimously closed the Public Hearing. <br />Commissioner Lyons suggested that if -anyone in the <br />County is not being satisfied, he would like them to bring <br />their situation before the Commission. <br />50 <br />
