Residents ask River Ridge board to add Lake 8 drainage fixes to next budget
Summary
Oak Run residents reported persistent pooling and possible foundation impacts at Lake 8; the district engineer recommended regrading similar to recent Seaside work and the board said it would consider the project in the FY2025/2026 budget.
Rich Batterberry, speaking on behalf of Oak Run residents, told the Board that rainwater pools from the monument to halfway down Lake 8 and can take a long time to recede; he said homeowners are concerned water is getting under foundations and that one resident incurred significant costs attempting to mitigate water entering a home.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs reviewed the work done at Seaside and said the Lake 8 issues "could be addressed by completing work similar to the work in Seaside," noting the area had never been re‑graded. Chair Bob Schultz said the matter would be considered during the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget process.
The discussion recorded in the minutes does not include a formal motion or estimated cost for Lake 8 work; Mr. Krebs said he will obtain costs to replant littorals behind 20859 Glen Eagles Lakes Drive and the Board will consider funding and prioritization during the next budget cycle.
