9/24/96
Teakwood Court To assist the citizens having flooding problems on Greg
Drainage Teakwood Court, the Council approved this project on Dickens/
Improvements, Phase II 2/12/96 as part of the 1996 Drainage Improvement Mike Curtis
Program. Initially, the project was to consist of a 6' x 5'
box culvert behind some of the houses. However, some
property owners are now indicating they do not want the
box culvert behind their houses. Mark Berry (Teague
Nail and Perkins) explained there were two alternatives
which could be considered. These were included with
the agenda. The major difference between the two was
cost and alignment constraints.
Councilman Welch, CIP Committee Chairman, asked
the residents present if they had any questions or
comments. Two residents (7509 and 7501 Teakwood
Court) voiced concerns about possible damage to pools
during construction and future problems which might not
be obvious for several years. The property owner at
7216 Plumwood expressed concerns about possible
foundation problems, since construction would be within
5 feet of his home. Questions were asked about the
City taking additional easement from backyards, which
could possibly prevent installation of any pools for those
that do not have one at this time.
Rex McEntire, Attorney for the City, responded to
questions concerning the legality of the City pursuing
the different alternatives. He basically told the
Committee the City can legally choose to do whichever
alternative it decided was appropriate.
Also discussed were other possible solutions including
the purchase of 1-2 lots which could be used for a
detention basin.
Councilman Wood asked Mr. McEntire if this could be
taken to Executive Session at the next Council Meeting
for discussion by all members of Council due to the
threat of legal action and possible condemnation. Mr.
McEntire stated this could be done.
Councilman Wood then moved that this be taken to
Execution Session at the next City Council Meeting.
Councilman Don Phifer seconded the motion. Motion
carried.
