Mr. Younce lives on Lot 16 as shown on the map. Fron� <br />what I have gathered, Mr. Younce feels that the fill that was placed on <br />the Wight prop2rty has reduced the natu•ral retention, thus causing the <br />water level ic rise, causing more flooding to his property. <br />We made a site inspection of the property on th�s date to determine <br />what the ccnditions were. It should be noted that more than two inches of <br />rain have fallen since Friday. The topographic map shows a low, wetted <br />area which covers a portion of Lots 4, 10, 11, 15, 16 and 17. This was <br />confirmed during Lhe site inspection. A ditch which was cut many years <br />ago, drains the wetted area into the drainage ditch a7ong Intercity Avenue. <br />The watei• flowing in the ditch was about six inches to one foot deep. <br />A culvert which connects the low area to the ditch on Intercity Avenue <br />was noted on Mr. Younce's property, however, it serves little function <br />a.s the water surface was about a foot below the invert of the culvert. <br />(See photos.) <br />We also investigated the effects of the fill. The water surface was <br />very close to the elevation of the toe, but we could not see where the <br />fill had reduced the volume of natural retention available, <br />It is our opinion that the request made by the Engineering Department <br />should be i•econsidered tor the follo�aing reasons: <br />ENGINEERS • SURVEYORS • pLANNERS <br />9800 EVERGREEN WAY (U.5.991, EVEpETT, WASHINGTON 98204 .
