PARKER, JR. CITY OF JEFFER$ONVILLE June 27, 1994 STATEMENT TO CITY OF JEFFERSONVILLE, BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS MEETING ON MONDAY JUNE 27, 1994. MY NAME IS ROBERT NOTTON; MY WIFE AND I HAVE LIVED AT 2208 GLEN ABBEY 1N JEFFERSONVILLE SINCE JULY, 1989. LAST TUESDAY, JUNE 21ST OUR BACKYARD FLOODED FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WE HAVE LIVED HERE. LAST NIGHT OUR YARD WAS FLOODED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FLOODING, WHICH AFFECTS MY NEIGHBORS AT 2212, 2210, AND 2206 GLEN ABBEY IS CAUSED BY A RECENTLY INSTALLED FOUNDATION FOR A WALL ALONG THE REAR OF OUR PROPERTY L1NES ADJACENT TO COUNTRY CEUB ESTATES. THIS WALL PASSES THROUGH A NATURAL DRAINAGE SWALE DAMMING UP THE SWALE AND DIVERTING WATER INTO MY YARD. THE FLOODING DID NOT COME AS A SURPRISE TO ME AS I RECOGNIZED THE FLOOD POTENTIAL WHEN I FIRST SAW THE PLANS FOR COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES OVER TWO YEARS AGO. MR. DAN LUTHER OF SCHIMPLER-CORRADINO & ASSOC. MET WITH TWO OF MY NEIGHBORS AND ME TO DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES. AT THAT MEETING, IN MY BACKYARD, MR. LUTHER TOLD US THAT THE DEVELOPERS WOULD HAVE TO INSTALL A DRAINAGE PIPE TO PRECLUDE FLOODING IN OUR BACKYARDS. ON MARCH 31, 1992 MY NEIGHBORS AND I ATTENDED THE PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MEETING TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER OUR FLOODING CONCERNS WOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEVELOPERS OF COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES. BOTH MR. BALES AND MR. STINSON WERE PRESENT AT THE MEETING AND WERE REPRESENTED BY THEIR ATTORNEY AND ENGINEER ( MR. LUTHER.) MR. LUTHER ANNOUNCED TO ALL PRESENT THAT THE DEVELOPERS WERE GOING TO INSTALL A DRAINAGE PIPE AS PROMISED TO PRECLUDE FLOODING OF OUR YARDS AS HE HAD TOLD ME IN THE BACKYARD MEETING A FEW MONTHS PREVIOUS. COMMITTEE MEMBER / COUNCILWOMAN PEGGY WILDER THEN ASKED IF THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTIBLE TO ME. I SAID IT WOULD. EARLIER THIS MONTH, I APPROACHED MR. STINSON DURIIqG THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FOUNDATION FOR THE WALL, ABOUT THE DRAINAGE PIPE. HE RESPONDED THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO INSTALL A PIPE THAT THE POTENTIAL FLOODING PROBLEM WOULD HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED BY MR. SCHULER. MR. SCHULER DISAVOWS RESPONSIBILITY, SINCE MR. STINSON AS DEVELOPER HAS DAMMED UP THE DRAINAGE SWALE. SINCE THE CITY OF JEFFERSONVILLE HAS APPROVED THE PLANS FOR ELK POINTE AND COUNTRY CLUB ESTATES AND OUR YARDS OURNOW BEING FLOODED I ASK THAT THE CITY ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING DRAINAGE PIPE OF AN APPROPRIATE SIZE ACROSS OUR BACKYARDS PARALLEL TO THE WALL.
