City of Centerville August 28, 2002 Council Meeting Minutes 6. Eagle TraillPioneer Properties Steven St. George of 1861 Pioneer Lane and Mark Pangell addressed Council and asked for an update of their water situation. Mr. Peterson indicated the individual who was at the last meeting had not provided surveying information as promised. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City had received nothing from him either. Mr. Peterson indicated he was out there after the meeting and walked down the line with Mr. Palzer and it appears that Mr. Gainers wood railroad ties have a lot to do with the way it is pinched down there. Mr. Pangell indicated he agreed that those are not helping the situation but noted those were only placed there within the last 30 to 40 days. He further indicated he could do nothing about those railroad ties but has to deal with the water problem caused by them and the townhome development. Mr. Pangell indicated that residents could clean out the drainage easement with wheelbarrows and shovels but said he is not sure they are qualified to do so. Council Member Capra asked if the area is sodded. Mr. Pangell indicated it is weeds that are not maintained and there is no sod. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked whether the homeowner's association was mowing the area. Mayor Swedberg indicated the bank is very steep and difficult to mow. Mr. Pangell agreed that the bank is difficult to mow and then commented that the whole development contained a comedy of engineering flaws. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked for the engineer's opinIOn. Mr. Peterson indicated there is no problem with the design. He then said that the drainage way should be more open and commented that the fence is in the drainage way railroad as well as the railroad ties making the whole thing narrower than it should be. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the fence and railroad ties were in the drainage easement. Mr. Peterson indicated it looks to him that they are in the drainage easement but he would need a survey to know for sure. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the City would have the authority to have those items removed if they are in the drainage way. She then commented that the drainage easement cannot be impeded. Mr. St. George asked whether the area was graded properly in the first place. Mr. Peterson indicated it was not the City's job as the developer had his own engineer design that property. The City approves the plan but did not design it. Page 11 of18 L __ __ _ _ _ .
