Cc: 'evy.dudey@verizon.com'; 'Roy Glidden (glidrod@aol.com)' Subject: Storm water on Nassau Street Thank you for meeting with me today. I appreciate your time and understanding. In summery I believe we discussed the following: * The storm water that falls on to private property is the responsibility of the property owners. * Private property owners can not build systems that flow from a point onto their down stream neighbor's property. * Even though the city built the alley way that damned up the stream that used to flow through our adjacent properties, the city takes no responsibility for the stream water that is now trapped in those back yards. The gully was filled in nearly a hundred years ago to build the alley way and utility right of way. The city does not feel that it is their responsibility at this time. * The stormwater that enters private property from city alley ways, roads or sidewalks is the responsibility of the city. The city will address those sources. * Property owners in North Everett are responsible to see that the stormwater that falls upon impermeable surfaces such as driveways, roofs, patios, plastic sheeting and decks is transported into the city combined storm and sewer system. * Both my neighbors to the north and south have a system similar to my sump system that collects the storm water from our yards and pumps it to the storm water system as required by city ordinance. Our three systems are at times overwhelmed because the three homes up hill from us do not have sump pump systems for their storm water. What would you suggest I do about that? As we were looking at the construction site it was evident that they were not dealing correctly with the rain water that was falling on the plastic sheeting, driveways etc. It was also evident that they were directing their stormwater plus the water draining from a filled in wet land or pond to a point exit from their property via a pipe. This pipe was draining onto their neighbors yard which in turn was reaching my immediate neighbors yard and sump pump system to the south of my property and my yard and my sump pump system. It appeared to me that they needed a system to direct their storm water properly into the city storm water system as required by city ordinance. You mentioned berming the sidewalk along 35th street adjacent to the construction project to prevent water from flowing from the side walk into the gully that makes up all of our back yards. Are you planning on taking action on that? Please keep me informed about how the city is going to address the apparent violations on the construction site on the corner of 35th and Nassau Street and the progress of those corrective actions including an ECD for the written notification to the contractor and the contractor's corrective actions. If my summery has inaccuracy's please let me know so that I can better understand the situation. Thank you again for your help. Mark D.
