Also, indiscriminate draining of fluids into the system added an additional hazard. Mr. Dahmer's letter, from Forsgren Associates, P.A., to Council is as follows: "As requested by the East Wenatchee City Council, we are writing the following report on our findings of a drainage problem that exists within the Highland Hills Subdivision. BACKGROUND Highland Hills was plated in June of 1986 by Gary Noyd. The subdivision consists of 33 residential lots fronting both sides of the east end of 12th Street in East Wenatchee. The subdivision is bordered on the east by a producing orchard, the west and south by developed residential area and on the north by vacant property. All of the lots are currently developed with very attractive single family housing. The majority of the residences and lots are very well cared for. As part of the platting process, a drainage report was prepared ' by Munson Engineers which predicted the storm water runoff for a 20 year storm with a 30 minute duration. Using this data, a dry basin drainage system was designed to retain the predicted storm water runoff for said design storm. This system consisted of a series of swales constructed in a 25' drainage easement along the south side of the subdivision which would retain and slow down runoff water allowing seepage and evaporation to dispose of the water. Water generated from roof tops and driveways were to be retained on site. Runoff water from the street is collected in catch basins that discharge into the dry basin system. Each of the drainage swales were expected to hold approximately 2000 gallons of water and be designed to overflow form one to another along the drainage easement. It is our opinion that had the system been built and maintained as designed, the dry basin system would have worked effectively. However, our inspection revealed that many of the basins have not been maintained, structures have been constructed within the easement, side fences have been built which basically create small dams that do not allow the water to distribute along the basin. The four catch basins from 12th Street discharge all of the street's drainage to the rear of Lots 9 and 23 which can be a considerable amount of water. Since the basins do not flow from one to another, these two lots are heavily impacted. In short, the system was not constructed properly in many cases and has not been adequately maintained by many of the residences. - 3 - -t, - ' 'a 'N laallS g1ZT ZE8'uem?aTS aTggaa •8 •N laaslS glZT 806 'uosugor AlVW 'S 'N laalgS glZT 806 'uosagor uea0 '3'N IaailS gIZT S08 'PTaT;auag xneasanaQ •amTI a le sylbuaT 30; eaJe ay1 UT padels 3aleM aql uagM uaipTTyo 01 XsT= pue spiezeg glTeag buTpiebal suzaauoo IeuoTlTPpe passaadxa dayy •maTgoid aql 01 uoTlnTos a buTlsanbai TT0uno0 01 axods panTonuT eaie aq1 woi; suazTlTo 6uTMoTTo; ayy •paaooid 01 uagM pue Moy of se uoTIOaJTp pue uoTsToap znod ITvme TTTM aM •yloq zo dITO eql io szauMoamoy ag1 saylTa of dTlsoo aq TTTM sanTleuialTe iaglo ayl do duy 'ITam Mous pTdez pup miols e 3al;e pup buTinp ssaumO IoT 9q1 01 aOuaTuanuoouT aq sdeMTs TTTM 9Jay1 'ianaMoH '3;ouni aql aTpueq TTTM Iegl uoTlonzlsuooai amos gITM pauTeluTew dT3adoid aq ueo maisds buTlsTxa aq-4 'dsemmns uI •suoTinTos anoge eq1 ;o anTsuadxa Isom aql osTe Inq isaq ayl ie3 dq sT uoTlnTos sTgs •sanTJ aq1 01 d1TUToTn STITH pueTg6TH mio; walsds a6euTelp Maols a Ionzlsuoo of sT 'anTsuadxa Isom Inq uoTlnTos Isaq aqy •y ' •dITJ aql dq papun; dlTeTl3ed io QIZ up ybnoigl auop aq pTnoo buToueui3 •buT3(e1=apun anTsuadxa AI-TTe; le aq pinoo stool; ;;ouns ubTsap ayl aTpuey o1 qbnoua abzel s119MAJP laazls UT 6uTlonilsuo0 IuamaAed Pup xTenapTs 6uTlsTxa do buTseel alTnbai pTnoM sTgy •laazls aq-4 UT sTIaM dip 6uTl0nslsuoo dq pa0eldai aq pTnoo malsds uTseq dsp aql E •aoueualuTew panuTluoo alTnbai osTe pTnoM sTyy •uoTlonilsuoo uTeJp agl 3o Isoo ayl puels pinogs days 'oT3eu909 sTgl mos; IT;auaq pTnoM saouapTsai IenpTnTpuT ag1 aOuTS spipANoeq aTay1 azTTTln dTTn; atom of saouapTs93 MoTTe pTnoM legl adTd abeuTeap pale3o;iad 'abzeT dq paaeldai aq pTnoo suTseq abeuTeSp dip agy z •dITO ayl dq luamaozo;ua asTnbai pTnon Inq AaTO aq1 0l uoTlnTos dTlsoo IseaT ay-4 sT sTgy •aoueualuTew pue uoTlOnilsuooai aql aoio3ua of dITTTge s,dITJ aq-4 01 se daujolle s,dITO aql wo3; Iqbnos aq pTnoys uoTuTdo uy pauTeluTew dliadoad aie dagl leyl ainsse pue pau6Tsap se saleMs a6euTelp all-4 lonslsuooai saouapTsai TenpTnTpuT agl legl IsTsul T SNOIlnZOS ' Molaq palsTl se walgoid abeuTesp ay1 0l suoTlnTos Ieianas ale aiagy ' The question of who legally was obligated to resolve the problem was discussed. Councilmember Mikow said if it was the city's problem then it needed to be taken care of. Councilmember Lacy agreed, however stressed before any unnecessary legal fees were incurred, answers could be obtained through Municipal Research. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Lacy, second by Councilmember Mikow to have staff employees, Nick Wiltz and Bob Goodman, gather the supporting documents regarding the problem, give them to Councilmember Lacy. He will contact Municipal Research for a legal determination and report back to Council. The residents in the area of concern will be notified when the issue is returned to the agenda.
