Yesterday I met with Dustin Harris (City Engineer) and Charlie Romans (developer) on the South side of the property to discuss the water runoff and erosion problem between our neighborhood and the development that is going on down below.
It was good that we met there on a rainy day, because the problem was obvious to see. There are even several deep holes right next to the asphalt that are puddles now, but as water seeps out of them down the hill will become sink-holes.
Charlie has talked to an excavation firm to come out and take a look at the situation. The proposed solution that we discussed was to extend the retaining wall a few more feet, and make a drainage path to the west and down the hill there where the erosion is not occurring.
Charlie expects to have a discussion next week with the excavation company to finalize the plan. I plan on being part of those discussions so that I am kept informed of the plans for this area. I will try to keep you informed of the plans as well.
Dustin also commented about the overgrowth of grass and brush along that hill. Charlie will need to take care of most of the hillside, but I am going to work on cutting more along the top of the retaining wall, and the grass on the west side of the asphalt.
I will be mowing the property again Friday, May 22 (weather permitting). Please make sure that you have everything picked up from the grass around your unit so that I can mow up close to the buildings.
As we head into the Memorial Day weekend I know that summer and "Grilling Season" is upon us. If you intend on having a grill on your deck, please make sure that it is as far away from the building as possible.
Next week I will deliver my monthly letter and deposit slips for the June rent payments.
