Questioned Engineer Rooney and Director Schmidt on the status of the drainage issues he brought up at the last meeting. Engineer Rooney stated he and Charlie inspected the property, reviewed the original subdivision engineering drawings and the covenants and restrictions. The drawings showed at one time there was a sedimentation basin behind Mr. Haney’s house and the water that came down the ditch line on the side of his house is suppose to be directed into the sedimentation basin. But the basin is no longer there and the water has been directed into the wetland. The first line of enforcement is the homeowner’s association and before Mr. Haney did the work he was suppose to submit drawings to the homeowner’s association for review.
A brief discussion on who is responsible on enforcing this issue was discussed.
Attorney Waggoner will research the issue further and figure out what needs to be done.
