Sinkholes on Fairway 14 prompt easement search; country club offers road help
Summary
The committee was told culvert collapse on Fairway 14 is interrupting golf play; staff will search recorded easements for Fairways 8 and 14 and, if none are found, treat the drains as district responsibility. The country club offered to assist with roadway repairs once pipes and bedding are handled by the district.
Staff told the improvements committee that culverts on Fairway 14 have collapsed, creating a sinkhole that interrupts play and requires repair, while the culvert on Fairway 8 is deteriorated but less urgent. The country club signaled willingness to help with roadway restoration if the district installs and beds replacement pipes.
District staff said they are searching records for drainage easements related to Fairway 8 and 14. "Diane and I will find those easements. If they exist, we'll find them," a staff member said. If no easements are located, staff said the district will assume the drainage is district responsibility and proceed with repairs.
A public commenter who had inspected and photographed the sites urged the district to be proactive and shared images showing significant deterioration. Staff said the work will proceed as soon as easements are confirmed or ownership is clarified, and that the club's offer to repair the roadway could help speed the effort.
Next steps: staff will search for easement records and return with findings and a recommended repair schedule.
