PUBLIC COMMENTS:
First to address the board was Bob Miller, 1521 Waverly Road, Jeffersonville, IN.
He addressed the drainage problem and discussed the drainage ditch in the cul -a -sac. Mr.
Miller stated that the vines had grown up over the fence and when the water rises it
obstructs the water flow. City Engineer Crouch and Mr. Bell will revisit the area and
check the drainage ditch.
Ms. Bethany Barker, President of Mallard Run and Abby Chase Association
addressed the board in regard to Teal Court. She advised that the evaluation had dropped
approximately 12 foot causing erosion at least five yards around her residence. It was
noted that the space in question was a utility easement. Mr. Rogge, City Engineer and
Mr. Bell had already reviewed the area. She requested that someone go out and review
the area again.
Mr. David Epperson at 3 509 Teal Court also addressed the board in regard to the
erosion problem. City Engineer will revisit the area again to review and will try and get
on the agenda for the Sewer Drainage Board. City Engineer Crouch will request that the
Sewer Board send someone out to review the area to see if it maybe a sewer drainage or
owner's problem or a utility problem.
