SUBJECT: Barbara Bailey Drainage Complaint / 232 Plantation
DATE: July 15, 1992
On July 14, 1992, I spoke with Barbara Bailey concerning her problem. She indicated that there
was debris from the Wynnpage Development in the channel and that there was a substantial
amount of silt from the development in the channel. She also indicated that she had spoken to
Rey Gonzales concerning the silt. My understanding was that she has also spoken with the
Health Department concerning the mosquito problem. She was very concerned about the standing
water creating a breeding habitat for mosquitoes and the associated health dangers.
Towards the end of the conversation, Mrs. Bailey became very agitated and adamant in the fact
that this would be corrected this week. She also indicated that there was a broken storm drainage
system in the same channel.
I immediately spoke with Rey Gonzales concerning this issue. Rey Gonzales indicated that he
had recently spoke with a person at 224 Plantation concerning the broken storm drainage pipe.
He stated that weather permitting, this would be scheduled for repair during the first part of
August. When it is repaired, Rey stated that he would also be cleaning the channel from this
address all the way down to Bethel School Road. Rey stated that the City is responsible for the
maintenance of the concrete pilot channel and the adjacent property owners are responsible for
mowing and maintaining the grassy part of the channel.
I also spoke with Greg Jones on July 14, 1992 concerning our conversation on July 13, 1992.
Greg indicated that Travis had visited the site and informed the contractors that they would have
to clean all of the debris out of the channel. The contractors indicated that they would be
cleaning it out possibly by next week. I relayed to Greg Jones that that time schedule may or
may not suffice. He, in mm, stated that he would try and get the home builders to get it cleaned
out this week. I have also instructed Larry Davis to visit the job site to check on the erosion
protection to ensure it is in conformance with our ordinance and if not, some changes may
possibly need to be made during the construction of the homes. If the silt is from the home
construction, we will make every effort to contact the developers to get them to remove the
siltation that has taken place recently.
This memo is written as an update to the situation. As of yet, there has been no final resolution
of the items. I will keep you informed as items develop.
