8. Mr. Joseph Barnett, 6008 Davis Boulevard, appeared before
the Council.
Mr. Barnett advised the Council there was a flooding
problem on Crabtree Street, particularly in the 6900
block. Mr. Barnett stated he felt one of the reasons
the street flooded was the run-off water diverted from
Payte Street and Crabtree Street into a barr ditch,
along Turner Street, across Turner, thence down the slab
drives cutting and blocking the barr ditch on the south
side of Turner so the major volume of water progresses into
the houses from the rear.
Mr. Barnett stated he owned the house located at 6951
Crabtree and was in the process of remodeling. On the
afternoon of January 19, 1979, there was a heavy rain
and water came into part of his house. Mr. Barnett
stated water also came into the house next door.
Mr. Barnett stated he felt the Council should do something
to stop the flooding. The flooding was causing the
property to drop in value.
Mayor Faram asked Mr. Barnett if he had discussed his
problem with the City Staff.

stated the city would probably have to obtain easements
