City Manager The attached letter from The Grove Counseling Center.Inc.. dated March 4. 1988 and Captain Dallas' letter to the land development coordinator dated February 24. 1988 is furnished for your information. Section 14-124 of the Land Development Code requires a fire flow of one thousand. two hundred fifty (1,250) gallons per minute in commercial, instit- utional or industrial areas at each user point of delivery adjacent to the distribution system. My interpretation of this section of the code is that it refers to devel- opers or to already installed distribution systems. To rigidly inforce this code on a single project of this nature is. I feel. an impractical application of the intent of the code. By that I mean to require that the stated fire flow would. in place of a water distribution system. require a water storage tank of three hundred thousand (300.000) gallons. The type of structure. construction type. use. and compliance with the Life Safety Code should offset the need and the expense of such water capacity for this project. I therefore concur in granting the Grove Counseling Center, Inc. their request for a waiver as stated and recommend the installation of a water st~rage tank of 10,000 gallons as was discussed in our meeting with them of February 18, 1988. ~ Charles L.

I am making this request in connection with our site plan for construction of a new adolescent treatment facility. At present our water supply comes from a 411 well on the premises. Our site is located one fourth to one half mile from the nearest city water supply. The cost of installing water pipes over that distance as well as boring and jacking under a railroad track is prohibitive for us and the neigh- .boring businesses. As you know we are a charitable organi- zation and rely on contributions to fund the project in question. If you agree to our request, please take whatever steps are necessary to proceed with full City approval. Thank you, in advance, for your prompt consideration. Sincerely, La ry A.

Dallas I fre Marshal e e e c~ April II, 1988 TO: MAYOR/COMM~SION CITY MANAG~ J' DRAINAGE PROB~MS SUGARTREE (ALTON AVE. - RESIDENT COMPLAINT) FROM: REF: 1. We have again received a complaint from a resident of Alton - mainly that the backyard - patio/pool frequently becomes flooded as a result of wet weather. The resident felt that the City approved the home and consequently the drainage is our problem regardless of the fact that actually the problem is on private property. It is also noted that there was some $12,000.00 placed in the budget to correct the problem. 2. I explained that I would not accept liability for the water on the property and that the $12,000.00 was budgeted in the event there was an easement between the two streets. There is not. The subject ease- ment is a utility and not a drainage easement. Additionally. there appears to have been changes in the grading - pools have been installed, and fences erected on many lots. Finally, property owners that do not experience a drainage problem feel it is not their problem. 3. A workable solution would be for each problem lot to be underdrained by the owner, the water brought to the front of the property. hence into a pipe manifold that could be tapped into a manhole inlet. Once in the right of way the city could handle the problem. 4. I do not recommend the city fund work or perform work on private property. The commission would be inundated with demands for remedial drainage action from property owners throughout the city. 5. I will discuss this item and seek direction at the next meeting. / "".. /"'~ '~INT(;f", .' a- ......-...l~.., 01' ""'~.. J..,'I../ "'~"';.,(I , .~0lr.', 'ri.~; .:.
