Dear Mt-. Doyle:
At long last it appears our flooding problem has worked its
way up your- "priority list". It is unfortunate that this
initial meeting has been scheduled at a time when bo~h my
neighbor" Susan Robertson arid I must be out of town. I find
it ironic that neither of the two homeowners who suffer the
wor"st flooding problem were contacted concerning the date o~
the pr'oposed meeting. Mark that up to efficiency of city
services.
As i have inf~ormed you on many occasions by phone, in
writing, and in person, the single ~torm drain in oor alley
is insufficient to handle all but light shower-s. Assuming
the drain could handle normal and heavy rains, the grading in
the alley pr-events the majority of runoff from reaching the
drain before the alley overflows into my garage and home.
Flooding of my property is not an isolated or rare event. I
have lost count of the number of times I have swept water- out
of my garage and vacuumed water from the interior of my home.
I am enclosing a letter and pictures from Susan Robertson.
Her" pictuces graphically depict the severity of the problem.
Obviously [his is a very stressful arid emotional issue. I
would like very much to meet with the S_udy Team on site.
Hopefully the next meeting time will be better coordinated
with the homeowners concerned.
Sincerely,
Gary Hamr ick
