Public Requests & Oral Communications:

Al Ross – 3309 214^th St SW – Several discussions about issues related to water. He took some pictures of the water pooling in front of his driveway on 214th. A car drives through the puddles and then causes waves that carry to his garage. He would like to inform the city council of this occurrence and see some kind of drainage action happen.

Ed Walker – 21206 Poplar Way – He understands that McClenny Meadows reissued a new MDNS. He was promised a meeting, but due to different circumstances, it never happened. He is not seeing any new information in the file related to his appeal or the new MDNS. He is looking for a new lot potential map, but it is not there. Are there any revisions, and where are they? In the SEPA process, the comment period is to close to appeal date therefore making it difficult to determine if action should be taken.

Fred Price - 3408 214^th St SW – The council has heard the issue on water drainage, and its importance should be at the top of list. Cars are entering opposite lane on blind corner to avoid the water puddle/pool and it is becoming a traffic hazard. There was a time when they repaved the road on 214^th they did increase the pipe from 8 inches to 12 inches. Dick Russell knew at that time it would not be adequate, but nothing was done about it.

Ed Walker – 21206 Poplar Way – The water pool issue on 214^th is a mitigation issue that the city let slip through. The drainage was part of the concomitant agreement of Timbervale, and it was never done.
