Before your ~3rrival in Eugene, we met with Linda Norris and representatives from the Public <br /> Works Department on at Least two occasions to attempt to resolve two stormwater runoff <br /> ~ problems adversely impacting our sand and gravel operations at 3600 County Farm Road. <br /> 1 <br /> ' Your staff can brief you on the background of the issues; the purpose of this letter is to propose <br /> solutions. <br /> E <br /> j Re~ Wester Subdivision Runoff <br /> i <br /> ~ A,fter reviewing aerial photos of historical drainage patterns and consulting with hydrogeologic <br /> engineers, we identified a Swale that traverses the southwest earner of Wildish property in a <br /> northwesterly manner. We intend to facilitate stormwater flows across this natural drainage way <br /> with the expectation that this will alleviate the stor-mwater problem at this site. <br /> Should the city continue to be interested in channeling or piping this stormwater runoff to the <br /> t~ pipeline in County Farm Road, we would be willing to consider granting half the width of the <br /> <br /> ~ easement necessary for such a diversion along our southern property line. <br /> (Note: In any case, the city should consider including an evaluation of the County Farm Road <br /> storm sewer in the Woodward-Clyde basin study to determine its adequacy and the impact which <br /> high water flows in the McKenzie River may have on its capacity.) <br /> .
