Eagle Valley Addition No. 3

Spoke in favor of the subdivision, saying the reduced open space is minor, property values would rise with new homes, and drainage controls look adequate.

Spoke for her husband and neighbors, citing water pooling, basement seepage, and the city's own stormwater master plan warning against altering the detention area; asked council to vote no.

An attorney on 27th Street warned the pipe under his house runs year-round, cited Wyoming statute and the Carnahan v. Lewis case requiring all lot owners' consent to vacate, and predicted litigation.

The applicant said he lives in the neighborhood, has utilities stubbed out, will deliver a new stamped drainage study in about three weeks, and builds quality homes that raise area values.

A licensed civil engineer who lives downstream and works for the developer said the drainage pipe design more than handles the hundred-year flood and he has no concerns about the lots.

Said his neighbors have flooded repeatedly, read a letter from the Renemans about water flowing over curbs on Nicholas Drive, and asked council to table for a new drainage study.

Cited three points from the city's 2013 stormwater master plan — imperviousness ratios, detention capacity, and freeboard at the 29th Street culvert — and proposed splitting the cost of an independent study.

Spoke for his parents, whose home adjoins the tract, arguing the 2006 study and 2013 master plan both assumed the tract stays undeveloped and asking that the replat be denied.

Described her own backyard water problems that took a French drain and added drain to fix, and said shrinking the drainage area worries her and her neighbors.

Said the proposed lots sit on 100% fill at the lowest point of the drainage, raising soil stability, groundwater, and liquefaction concerns; suggested tabling for more information.
