LINCOLN
RIDGE: Chuck Burgin met with 55 residents of the Lincoln Ridge neighborhood
on Thursday, May 10th.
Residents expressed their concerns regarding the two Kading developments
on North 9th Street. The
neighborhood wants to take action to prevent any future development of this
type within the area. This may include rezoning.
Note: I asked Steve Bonnett to provide some information regarding calls to the area within the last year.

EAST GIRARD:
Attached is V&K’s response to Gina Seymour’s questions in her e-mail dated
April 30, 2012. It is indicated the grate at the intake on Franklin could be
removed and replaced with a handrail around all four sides of the opening.
However, the grate was installed for safety reasons and would hesitate to
remove. Placing rip-rap on the west side of the culvert is something that could
be done in-house.
V&K indicated they did evaluate the cost to install a storm sewer the entire length of the swale from Girard to Franklin and burying the pipe in 2010. The cost was estimated at $250,000-$300,000. The city did not opt for this and installed a culvert and beehive drains instead and spent approximately $65,000.
Dan Miers dept. televised the area to make sure the sub-drain was not damaged during construction and found it was in good condition. Soil Tek will be installing reinforcement turf in the next couple weeks. The vertical bars on the lower grate opening were removed and the sink hole filled in by the Street Dept.
Forrest’s final paragraph indicates they could further evaluate the drainage area to determine what it would take to lower the water depth in the channel south of Girard. It would be a trial and error approach and possibly include adding another culvert or two under the Franklin driveway. I will ask V&K to provide a cost estimate for these services.
