Stone Street plat unclear; council favors opening ditch and adding culvert to prevent landlocking
Summary
Council found the Stone Street plat shows a city-maintained gravel drive but unclear right-of-way lines; recommended a survey and title work and discussed two repair options: opening the ditch with culvert ($19,000–$19,700) or repairing the existing structure ($37,900).
Council reviewed the Stone Street plat and determined the gravel drive is shown as city-maintained but the precise right-of-way is unclear. Staff advised a property survey and title review to establish the city’s legal right-of-way before undertaking permanent repairs.
Two repair estimates were discussed for addressing a problematic ditch. The lower-cost option is to open the ditch completely and install a driveway culvert (estimate range $19,000–$19,700). The higher-cost alternative is to repair the existing structure (estimated $37,900). Council favored opening the ditch and installing a culvert to avoid landlocking the adjacent owner if that parcel is developed or sold. Council directed staff to coordinate immediately with the property owner and to initiate survey and title work prior to final construction.
