Board to schedule field visit after major washout near Buck Creek at Primrose Parkway
Summary
Board members agreed to inspect a large washout behind a residence at 6721 South Primrose Parkway that is eroding toward a homeowner's fence and may have dropped stormwater tile.
Board members heard from staff about a substantial washout at or near 6721 South Primrose Parkway, where erosion along a regulated waterway (Buck Creek) has created a large hole and is threatening a homeowner’s fence and a tree.
Staff said the washed area is large enough to hold a dump truck and that the county’s drainage tile may have dropped, accelerating erosion. The homeowner (Terry Rickert) reported being told by surveyors that the problem was his responsibility; county staff said there is a line that runs back through the area and that an in-person field inspection with staff, Tom Borchers and the surveyor/engineer is needed to determine whether the county’s tile or bank erosion is at fault.
The board asked staff to schedule a field visit and to coordinate attendance; members warned of aggressive dogs at the site and requested that staff coordinate timing. No formal funding or repair decision was made at the meeting; the board will review findings from the site visit before determining next steps.
