This project is scheduled to begin around July 1, 1996. The work will <br />consist of placing a 12 inch diameter perforated culvert in the existing drainage ditch and filling in <br />of the ditch. Upon completion of the project on September 1, 1996, the area will be seeded with low <br />growing wildflowers in the fall. This project will help improve drainage water quality as well as <br />providing a shallow swale with gently sloping sides, which will be much easier for adjacent property <br />owners to maintain for vegetation control. The current steep slope and deep ditch has been a burden <br />upon property owners attempting to control vegetation to City Code specifications. <br />Enclosed for your reference is a list of the properties which are adjacent to the project area and copy <br />of a letter which has been sent to the adjacent property owners to inform them of this project. If you <br />have any questions, please contact Kevin Foerstler at 683 -6821, or Brian Elliott at 984 -4902. <br />cc: Bob Hammitt <br />Johnny Medlin <br />Scott Plamondon <br />Brian Elliott <br />
