HCMEOvNERS FRCM FIELDCREEK FOREST AND OTHER OPEN DITCH
SUBDIVISIONS HA.D APPROACHED HIM REGARDING DRAINAGE. THEY PROPOSED
TO PLACE CULVERTS IN THE DITCHES AND THEN COVER THEM OVER IN ORDER
TO BE'ITER MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTIES. IT WA.S ALSO BELIEVED THAT
DRAINAGE WOUID BE BEITER SERVED. CURRENT POLICY STATES THAT
DITCHES CAN BE COVERED WITH SOIL FRCM THE HCMF.X:MNER' S YARD ONLY.
SOIL BROUGHT FRCM OTHER AREAS IS NOT PERMI'ITED. THE THOUGHT
BEHIND THIS POLICY IS THAT WATER RETENTION WOUID REMAIN THE SAME
ON SITE. IN FIELDCREEK FOREST, AS IN OTHER FRIENDSWCX)D
SUBDIVISIONS, THE YARDS ARE BEA.lYI'IFULLY LANDSCAPED AND BY
ENFORCING THE POLICY, THEIR LANDS CAPING WOULD BE DAMA.GED. THERE
WA.S DISCUSSION REGARDING DRAINAGE FLONS, DITCH MAINTENANCE, AND
CHANNELIZATION. THE GENERA.L CONSENSUS WAS THAT THE CITY SHOUID
A.DHERE TO CURRENT POLICY. THE MATTER MAY BE REVIEWED WHEN THE NEW
