Mrs. Gaskell also wished to know if there will be a <br />culvert under 12th Street rather than a ditch turning the <br />corner. <br />Director Davis explained that drainage in that area has <br />to run from south to north and we would like to cut around <br />the corner and use one culvert to serve two streets - <br />halfway between 38th and 39th Avenues. There is a back lot <br />easement there. If we don't do it that way, we would have <br />to keep the drainage out front. <br />James Gaskell noted that on 38th Avenue there is a <br />ditch on one side where the culverts go, and he wished to <br />know if the ditch will be just on one side of 39th Avenue. <br />Director Davis stated that the drainage for 39th Avenue <br />will be different than for 38th as we were working with some <br />existing conditions on 38th Avenue where some of the people <br />had driveways in county right-of-way and we did not want to <br />rip all that out; we felt we could live with the existing <br />conditions. He informed Mr. Gaskell that he has the road <br />design upstairs and would be glad to show him exactly what <br />it will look like. <br />Mrs. Gaskell then expressed concern about the depth of <br />the ditches on 38th Avenue. <br />Public Works Director Davis explained that project <br />isn't completed, and our crews still have to do some <br />finishing work. He pointed out, however, that to get the <br />water to run from 10th to 12th St., we must establish a <br />gradient so the water will flow. He believed the deepest is <br />about 21, but this is necessary because land in Florida is <br />so flat. He further noted that some of the residents elect <br />to purchase additional culverts for their frontage, and we <br />will work with them; a 20' length costs about $120.00 - $6 a <br />foot. <br />The Chairman determined that no one else wished to be <br />heard. <br />48 <br />AUG 1 1984 BDDK 5 7 PACT 889 <br />
