Comments:
Mr. Holloway, of 27 Cottonwood Lane, called the office and indicated that he was experiencing excessive erosion along his property line next to his garage. He indicated that the water
was starting to erode a portion of his lawn area. He indicated that there was a trench that went along the side of his property line, next to his garage, and that recently there had
been a tremendous increase in flow. He thought the increase may be coming from the work that was being done at a neighbor’s house at 19 Cottonwood Lane.
The Town Engineer, Public Works Director, and Staff went out to the site to determine the cause of the excessive runoff. It did not appear as though the neighbor at 19 Cottonwood was
the issue. It appeared as though it was just the rain itself. There was a possible increase from the direct neighbor’s house into the area but this appears as though this has been the
drainage path in the past.
Staff talked to the Mr. Holloway’s son, but he did not know which area his father was talking about. Staff asked that he have his father call when he got home from work.
