Y ou h ave <br /> asked our office ro respond to thc questions raisai in the�etter. <br /> Thote could be several mitigating mattecs affecting the backup of watn• onto che pro{xrties on <br /> 105°1 and Olivia. This officc has lnvestigatcd several potential factas, but cannot defini!e1y statc <br /> that ane or the other is the cause of the backups. 71ust items wili be diacussed in detail in this <br /> Ictta, but most impo�tantly, the Lane Properties, LLC, has coopetated fully in the swdies and <br /> agteed ta install a parallel pipe sysoem fram Olivia weslward throuph their property a��d connect <br /> to an existing 18 inah pipe. This proposal will incrcase tht capacity by ]00-150%. Dway�e <br /> I,ane's h:5 gane to great lengths to cantrol the ntn-off on Oli.�a. <br /> Thc below statementt a*e some backgrounds on the project ns we currently lanow it: <br /> t. Thc purported 8-inch pipe is actuatly a l2-inch pipe and tuns from the end stall north of <br /> the service bays dimctly nprth to two [8-i�tch pipes md two catch basins. Both basins <br /> we�e buried and brought up to grade. <br /> 2, The l2-inch pips from 105'h and Olivia connected to the l2-inch pipe and was in placc <br /> whrn Olivia had several residences on the west side. This o:fice does not lrnow when <br /> this drain pipe was connected and when the service bay project wa; constructed, this <br /> offiee did not change any of the c�eisAng pipes. <br /> 3. 105° has wdagonr. a mejor transition from when the original pipes wete corestructed. <br /> Scversl developments were conshucted that conRibute volumes of water to IOS'" and <br /> Olivi�. Each of tkiose developmeuts were required ta conduct downstream analysi� as <br /> part of the draiaage reriew on thc projecfs and if problems, they wcTe requircd to fix <br /> them. <br /> 4. Tho areas that were flooded appcar to be on lhc low side of th�lou. With increased flow <br /> from the new curbs and gutters on 105"'onto thc storat rn: Oliv�a, it is entirely possible <br /> (though not proven•as menuoncd above)tfx pipes from Olivis onW the Lane property arc <br /> too under eapacity. Agein,the paratlel pipc sF.ould all�w+ate this situatian. <br /> 5. 'The on-sitc drainagc travels southerly into e wetpondlwater quality pond where the <br /> discha•ge drains north and eonnects to the existin$ 12-inch pipe from Olivia. The <br /> distancc is approximeuly 11� fcet v�esurly before the waur again tiuns noRh for about <br /> 100 [eet and wnnects t o the s ubje:t [8-inch p ipe which takes the w ater t o Evargreen <br /> Way. <br /> 6. This water r.iay contzibute to the :�ater problem an I05'" and Olivia. The parallel pipe <br /> from Olivia to the l8•inch should solve the problems noted,but caution is urged sintc the <br /> available headwatcr depths Aro lower than optimum. <br /> Sinccttly, <br /> Ted Trepar.ier <br /> Civil Engineer <br />
