RE: Neighborhood Backyard Drainage Issues
Dear Mr. Xiong:
This letter is a follow up to the March 14, 2006 letter that was sent to you. Our survey crew has been out to your
property and gathered the infonnation required. We have reviewed the information gathered and compared it
with the approved drainage plan for the subdivision that your neighborhood is a part of. Through this review we
have found that your property does not comply with the approved drainage plan and is contributing to the
neighborhood drainage problems. The approved drainage plan for your neighborhood relies on backyard drainage
swales to convey storm runoff to the area drain at the southwest comer of your property. When your lawn was
installed, the drainage swale flowing south across the back of your property was not maintained and is causing
runoff to pond on your neighbors properties.
Property owners are responsible for the grading and lawn work within their property. The city can help you with
advice and by placing survey stakes to assist you in complying with the approved drainage plan for your
neighborhood.
You have one month fi'om the date of this letter to correct this grading problem.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel ftee to contact us at 236-5065.
