SUBJECT: Drainage Problem at 3933 Coast Meridian Road

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Engineer be authorized to spend
approximately $2,500 from the 1988 Unallocated Public Works
Capital Budget for the purpose of solving a drainage problem at
3933 Coast Meridian Road.

BACKGROUND ANL COMMENTS:

Small, the resident at 5933 Coast Meridian Road has
contacted Alderman Gates recently in regards to a drainag
problem in her backyard. This matter was reterred to the
Engineering Department for study and report. Our
investigations revealed that Mrs. Smal!'s backyard is some two
feet lower than the adjoining property including the gravel
lane. Because of this, surface run-off from the iane and other
areas is ending up in Mrs. Smalt's back yard making if
perpetually wet.

A reasonable solution to solve this problem is to dig a
small! ditch atong the rear of 3933 Coast Meridian Road and to
install a lawn basin complete with a lead tying into the
existing drainage system. An estimate for this work is $2,500.

The Committee members are well acquainted with The field
conditions and feel that the City has an obligatio n to solve
this drainage proble sm. A recommendation is therefore forwarded
to Council to approve the proposed drainage works
