6TH STREET - from 12th Avenue to 14th Avenue and 12TH AVENUE from 5th Place to 6th Street Chairman Scurlock opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. Henry Fairbairn, 12256th Street, objected to having a swale cut in front of his property, because he did not feel it was necessary. He and his wife would like to see the road paved without a swale. He believed the house next door is okay also, but felt the swale around the corner should be deepened. Director Davis explained that there is a lot of area on 13th and 14th Avenues just to the north of 6th Street that they would like to drain along 6th Street and that is basically why the plan shows the swales along that section of 6th Street. They really cannot solve those problems without cutting a swale - on 6th Street. He still recommended that they do the drainage also. Mr. Fairbairn believed that it does not affect the south side of 6th Street because it drains around the corner; therefore, there is no necessity of having a drain on the south side. Director Davis admitted that there is a high point on 6th Street around 13th Avenue, and perhaps they could take another look at the design and not make the proposed swales as deep. He advised Mr. Fairbairn that staff would be glad to sit down with the property owners and work out those details. James D. Lake, 6th Street and 12th Avenue, felt that by the time that swale gets to his property, it would be so deep you could not drive a car there. He did not see the necessity of a swaIe. Director Davis explained that it will be a shallow swale, but they would be glad to take a look at it and if they can accommodate their concerns, they will. He would be glad to meet with Mr. Fairbairn, Mr. Lake and any other concerned property owners right after this meeting. 54 BOOK �6 F�� II JAN 27 17
