Mr. Qamhieh <br />it is not because of the Clearwater Creek <br />Mayor Buckbee noted the erosion appears to <br /> <br />Hatem Qamhieh, 7251 Clearwater Drive, <br />expressed the City is increasing the <br />the Main Street crossing. Mr. Hatem <br />be aggravating the erosion along <br />expressed dumping water down stream <br />business. <br /> <br />was present. Mr. Qamhieh <br />water flow by four times at <br />expressed the project will <br />the creek. Mr. Qamhieh <br />is not a good way to do <br /> <br />Council member Brenner stated this has been a concern of hers for <br />a long time. It only makes sense that if you increase the size <br />of the culverts you will increase the velocity. Council member <br />Brenner noted MSA Consulting Engineers have assured the city it <br />would be okay, that the lake held the velocity down. Council <br />member Brenner she is very disturbed by this situation and has <br />anticipated this problem all along. She very much wants answers <br />and asked which engineer does the City believe and suggested <br />getting an independent opinion. <br /> <br />Council member Helmbrecht noted she felt the City should get <br />another opinion. <br /> <br />Council member Wilharber explained the erosion has been going on <br />for a long time. The creek bottom is not hard. The Rice Creek <br />Watershed District has reviewed the Plans and Specifications for <br />the project. Council member Wilharber noted he does not agree <br />with hiring an outside engineering firm at this time. <br /> <br />Mayor Buckbee noted in the past the water has backed up to the <br />top of the Peltier Lake Drive culvert in the spring. Mayor <br />Buckbee expressed the City can not be held responsible for what <br />erosion has already occurred. Mayor Buckbee would like to seek <br />answers from the City Engineer, if the answers are not <br />satisfactory, then maybe the City could investigate a second <br />opinion. The current erosion has been happening for a long time. <br /> <br />Mr. Nyberg noted that if Mr. Qambieh home is located 25' feet <br />from the creek, then half of the house may be located within the <br />drainage easement. The house should not be located that close to <br />the creek. Mr. Nyberg noted he acknowledged Mr. Qamhieh does <br />have an erosion problem, however the project should not increase <br />the problem. Mr. Nyberg noted with or without the project there <br />will continue to be an erosion problem. The Department of <br />Natural Resources required the Peltier Lake Drive culvert to be <br />done as part of the project. The Clearwater Creek Project Plans <br />
