Several residents from Hi-Y Ranches appeared to discuss present and
future drainage problems in their subdivision. They were particularly
concerned that the swale created on Lot 12 Block A by the builder re-
main intact and never is filled because of its impact on adjacent
properties. They were advised that the city considers it a natural
water course which cannot be filled. The committee further advised those in attendance that a drainage study of their area is included in the comprehensive drainage plan presently being developed.
Other problems discussed were the need for a drainage easement along
the north lot line of the subdivision and possible filling of the low
areas located between Williams and Simandl Drives.
The committee directed the Mayor to alert the Building Inspection
Department of the need to maintain drainage in the area and that
prior to granting an Uccupancy Permit to the residence on Lot 12
Block A, the drainage swales on both the west and east side of the lot should be checked for efficiency.
