Drumheller Residence - 1400 Madrona Avenue Water Diversion £rom Ad'acent New Construction Gentlenen: TELEPHONE 259-5�f � AREA CODE 206 I represent Lida R. Drumheller, who is experiencing severe problems from surface water diverted onto her property as a result of new construction currently in proqress on the adjacent lots to the east. The onset of seasonal rainy weather has resulted in surface water flooding of the Drumheller property. This conditioii ha� not occurred in the 28 years she has resided on the property. It appears that these adjacent lots carry considerable runof% as they form a natural drainage basin. While this su,:face water was previously dispersed without adverse effect, tHe ne.w constructioii has diverted substantial amounts of surface water in concentrated amounta onto the Drumhe].ler property. The immediate problems have heen wash-outs and flooding which raise long term concerns about damage to the foui�,dation of the residence and the integrity of the hillside. I understand that the contractor has taken steps to remedy this problem by tight-lining some of the surface water past the Drumheller residence. Mrs. Drumheller remains concerned that water concentrated in this manner will jeopardize the integrity of the hillside. It is requested that your department take immediate action to require the contractor to address this situation and develop a drainage plan to adequately and safely handle the diverted surface
