Resident says Clarksville's stormwater work left Potters Lane property damaged; town staff say grading is on punch list
Summary
Cassandra Ross told the council that a stormwater project has caused ongoing problems on Potters Lane and that promised repairs have not been completed. Kim Harris read an email saying the property was on a punch list for light yard grading but said the work had not yet occurred.
During public comment Cassandra Ross told the council the town's stormwater project has created long-term problems on her property on Potters Lane and that she believes the town omitted a photo she supplied from a work-session presentation.
"Nobody's been on my property," Ross said, adding that she felt the presentation had been staged and that promised corrective work had not been performed. Ross asked neighbors to inspect the area on the next rainy day and urged the council to address the repeated ponding and erosion affecting several driveways in the neighborhood.
Kim Harris followed and read an email she said came from Town Manager Kevin Bailey and project staff indicating Ross's property "is on the punch list for light yard grading." Harris also recited staff language that the ponded water "only remains for 60 to 90 minutes immediately after a rain event until it is absorbed into the ground," but said that, as of the meeting, the promised grading had not been completed.
Manager Beatty later said he would include additional documentation and follow up in the weekly report and that staff will bring the item back to a future work session once the outstanding attachments and consultant information are available.
