Resident complains of street runoff and missing curbing; Public Works plans repair and commission asks for enforcement review
Summary
A resident reported water runoff and missing curbing at 9996 Miller Road; Public Works plans repairs within weeks. Commissioners also discussed curb access at a commercial strip and directed the City Manager to review estimates for an Administrative Hearing Officer to handle code enforcement.
Resident Patrick Harris asked the Board of Commissioners during the May 4 public‑comment period to address chronic water runoff across his yard at 9996 Miller Road and the missing curb in front of his house.
"The curb is missing in front of my house," Patrick Harris said, adding that water is draining toward his septic fill area and that he has sought repairs for years. He presented photos to each commissioner.
Public Works Director Grant said he inspected the site, found a cracked and partially stopped tile and that the adjacent property is private but should have a ditch. Grant told the board he planned to repair the area with asphalt and rip rap rock and estimated the work could occur in about two weeks. Grant also said asphalt will not adhere to concrete where the drive apron remains, and discussed options for how curbing and paving could be rehabilitated to prevent further washout.
Separately, Commissioner Keith raised safety concerns about missing curbing in front of a commercial strip center at Tall Pines Estates that allows vehicles to back onto Dayton Pike; City Attorney Elliott said the city would research whether a variance or conditional permit had been issued when the site was developed. Commissioner Keith moved that the City Manager review estimates for creating or filling an Administrative Hearing Officer position to address building code violations and enforcement; Commissioner Shipley seconded and the board approved the measure unanimously. City Attorney Elliott noted the ordinance creating the position exists but the role had not been filled because of cost.
The board also received staff updates that Talley Construction proposed a May 24 or May 25 start for Dayton Pike milling and paving and that full striping, signs, and guardrail work would follow; Public Works estimated replacing all guardrail would cost about $700,000, while localized replacement runs about $80 per foot.
Public Works will schedule the repair at Miller Road and follow up on curb/access research and administrative‑hearing cost estimates.
