Engineer: subdivision drainage planned to central lake; City Engineer reviewed modeling

City of Valley Planning Commission · June 16, 2026

Summary

FoleyShald engineer said rear‑yard water will be conveyed by 20‑foot ditches and easements to a central lake; he told the commission the central lake is not part of King Lake and that the City Engineer reviewed stormwater modeling.

FoleyShald engineer Josh Siel told the Planning Commission the proposed drainage plan includes 20‑foot ditch sections and easements to convey water from rear yards to a central lake. When asked whether all drainage would flow into the lake, Mr. Siel confirmed it would, and he said professional stormwater modeling had been completed and reviewed by the City Engineer.

Planning Commission member Mark Conrey asked whether the central lake is part of King Lake; Mr. Siel said it is not and explained a ditch would be constructed to convey water without directing it into King Lake. The engineer's statements addressed the mechanical conveyance approach but did not resolve residents' requests for independent verification of modeling results or detailed fill and elevation calculations; those issues were left for follow‑up with the applicant.
