Options outlined to relieve Surrey Lane flooding; property-owner feedback requested
Summary
Engineers presented two drainage proposals to reduce Surrey Lane flooding: one routes water to the adjacent agricultural ditch with curb-and-gutter and tree removal; the other extends to the main ditch while preserving trees. Council asked staff to get property-owner feedback and return recommendations.
Schwab Eaton requested culvert measurements and described two basic proposals to address chronic drainage on Surrey Lane. Proposal one would route stormwater to the edge of the property into an agricultural ditch, add curb and gutter and likely require removal of trees and a berm. Proposal two would extend the system to the main agricultural ditch, keep the curb, and avoid tree removal. Council asked for property-owner review and directed staff to return recommendations to project lead Keithan.
Council members discussed standardizing culvert sizes to handle incoming flows and noted that rerouting water should reduce load along Surrey Lane. No construction decisions were made at the meeting; the item is moving through design and public-engagement phases.
