Item on Agenda: Waverly Road Watershed Study Discussion
Erin Wenger and Bryan Wallace with Lochmueller Group, Inc. presented a presentation and
maps regarding the Waverly Road Watershed Study. They reviewed slides of all areas where problems
of flooding were occurring. Lochmueller Group, Inc. had recommended that Alternative 2 be
considered the primary option for construction to provide drainage relief for the area of St.Andrews
Road. This would be more costly than Alternative 1;Alternative 2 addressed concerns of flooding at
both St.Andrews Road which would provide some reductions for Waverly Road.
Mr. Daniel Rainwater who lives at 1512 Waverly Road addressed the Board in regard to the City
purchasing their property at a reasonable price to relocate at another location. He stated that the last
offers were low to where they were not being able to relocate. It was decided that letters to each
individual resident at the end of Waverly Road be notified to see if they are still interested in selling
their property. Mr. Bell will make contact with each individual resident to see if they would be
interested in selling before the City would get any appraisals. If they are not interested then they would
need to have another plan for a solution regarding the flooding areas. Mr. Bell will notify the residents
and have some information for the Board at our next meeting.
ADJOURN:
Mr. Morton made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 6:50 P.M. and seconded by Mr. Burgess.
