to see done. He then spoke of the plugged up culverts and the <br />size of them, noting that he had spoken of this to Commissioner <br />Bowman who promised to come out and look but has not done so yet. <br />Rita Hudman, 101st Ave., noted that the assessment would <br />cost her $100, and she did not want to pay $100 for paving which <br />will neither solve the drainage problem nor benefit her. <br />John Bradley, representative of landholder Edmund Ansin, <br />explained that the reason he didn't attend the meetings was that <br />he went the wrong night for the first meeting, and did not attend <br />the second meeting because the figure of $100 per parcel/acre had <br />been brought up and that wasn't Mr. Ansin's idea; $10.00 per <br />parcel/acre was the only fee ever mentioned to him. <br />The Vice Chairman noted that Mr. Bradley could have attended <br />the meeting and opposed the $100 assessment, but Mr. Bradley <br />stated that his one vote would not count. <br />Commissioner Bird asked Public Works Director Davis if, in <br />his professional opinion, we need a drainage study and plan for <br />this area or whether he felt the existing drainage there would be <br />adequate if it had additional work. <br />Director Davis stated that the drainage is not adequate, and <br />basically the reason is because of the constriction in the <br />outfall canal which serves 23,000 acres of land that he knows of, <br />which is a very large portion of the county. When you are <br />draining that much water into a canal, you need to determine your <br />pro rata share of that canal's capacity. Once that is determined, <br />you then need a complete topography in order to determine the <br />most feasible way to retain the water so you can pass only your <br />pro rata share of capacity. We, therefore, need a study to <br />determine what capacity the subdivision can benefit from and <br />where the water should be retained before it goes to the canal. <br />Director Davis further emphasized that there are 77 miles of <br />roads in this subdivision that are unpaved; they are graded and <br />crowned and when it rains, the silt does go into the culverts. <br />11 <br />SEP 4 19 BOOKS FnE 9 <br />
