The above described line represents the centerline of the proposed drainage easement, Which is laid out to a width of 10 feet, measuring 5feet on either side of said line. The purpose of the easement is to allow the city to construct a drainage ditch within the above described limits for the purpose of conveying surface drainage in a northeasterly direction to an fisting catch basin located near Fern Street, and to maintain a grade for said ditch which is sufficient to permit the flow of water. There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting Mr. Ernest Whitney of 414 Birch Street, Mr. Keith NcReen of 426 Birch Street, Mrs. Sheila Carter Of 231 Stillwater Avenue, Mrs. Lillian Doughty of 219 Stillwater Avenue; Mr. David Bower, 422 Birch Street, and Mrs. Wilda Philbrick, 438 Birch Street. The City Engineer explained that a drainage ditch was installed in 1964 as part of the Stillwater Park construction but since that time, the adjacent land has been regraded and the slope of the ditch has been altered so as to cause the back-up and ponding of water, and has resulted in an sightly and unhealthy condition at the rear of the subject lots since an easement was not reserved by the Urban Renewal Authority at the time of the original ditch installation. The easement will be required to permit the City to enter the land and to perform the regrading work. Those present were advised that the area disturbed by the regrading would be loamed and seeded. No damages or assessments ants are recommended as a result of the acquisition of theeasement or the installation of the ditch. it is felt that the ditch will benefit the adjacent properties, and the easement will not interfere with the present use of the property. it is recommended that the easement be established so that the ditch may be installed this fall. - Respectfully submitted, John T. Frawley, City Engineer
