Barry Peters reviewed the history of the drainage problems and previous attempts to alleviate the problem. Peters summarized his recommendations for correcting the drainage problem: 1. Replacing the 18" CMP outlet with a larger capacity concrete pipe and installing high capacity catch basins at the low point on Glenview Ave. and the two catch basins southwest of Glenview Court. 2. Constructing a bermed drainage swale, behind the curb, and extend from the swale from the low point to the property line then east along the north property line to Valentine Park. . 3. Construct a small berm in front of 3946 Glenview to reduce the potential for water jumping curb and draining across the Caniff's property. The estimated cost of the recommended system, including engineering, legal and administrative costs is $23,000.00.
