Proper presented an update on the diversion of church runoff from backyards of homes on Oakwood Drive north of 7th Street NW. The project's need developed from the introduction of the proposed Fairfield Drive and the Christ the King Church additions. Last spring, Oakwood Drive residents voiced opposition against the projects due to flooding problems endured over the years, and the feeling that the projects would cause more runoff. Council ordered a feasibility study to identify short term and long term solutions to the backyard flooding problem. The short term solutions include: installation of new vane grates on the six catch basins at the end of the 7th St. storm sewer; construction of a bituminous lip across Oakwood Dr. at 7th St.; and installation of a high capacity catch basin on Emerald Dr. All short term solutions have been completed and are working out well. The long term solutions include: construction of 7th St. storm sewer by 1994, if TCAAP forcemain is not abandoned; preparation of a study regarding establishment of a drainage utility fund; and evaluation of diverting runoff coming from the church property. There has been no change in the forcemain status, and the utility report will be completed in August. The plan as presented by the City Engineer would alter the church's northeast retention pond and a 1 2 inch storm sewer will be constructed from the pond to the storm sewer on 9th St. The pond would be smaller than the original plan and will not require as much grading. The pond and storm sewer will reduce the area draining to the backyards from 6.2 down to 2.9 acres. Although the plan does not divert all the church property, it diverts all the hard surface area. The slope on the church property will be undisturbed and continue to drain to the backyards. The runoff from the backyards on 9th St. (3.3 acres) will also be diverted.
