Under unfinished business, President Worthen stated that the Town had received the preliminary draft report from Christopher Burke Engineering on the Springmill Drive drainage issue. A copy was given to all of the Council members. President Worthen stated that he was somewhat disappointed with the lack of answers given in the letter. He had spoken to Kerry Daily at Christopher Burke Engineering and was assured that this was only a starting point. He had also spoken to Judy Atwood who lives at 721 Springmill Drive, and asked what questions the homeowners would like to have answered. Judy Atwood was present at the meeting along with several other area residents. Judy Atwood expressed similar disappointment in the letter. She felt that when the original drainage report information could not be found that someone should have been contacted. President Worthen stated that the letter provides effects, which we already know. We need to know causes. He would like to see Topo maps of the preconstruction property. He has been told that the swale has changed but that is uncertified information. Christopher Burke Engineering has stated that they have not found any Topo maps that are certified. Tom Worthen stated that he had asked for pre and post construction flows and the letter only gives past construction flows. He feels that there should be either no change or a reduction in the flow. Kerry Daily will come to the drainage board meeting. Judy Atwood will ask her contact at Aegis Environmental if he would mind if Christopher Burke contacted him to find out where he got the drainage information that he provided to her. Gary Priest, who lives at 761 Springmill Drive presented the Council with a letter regarding the erosion of his property and the forming of a ditch in his back yard that he says began after the development of the property to the south of him. He has spoken to Kerry Daily and explained to him that the ditch was not there when he built his house in 1989. He stated that Kerry Daily said he didn't know that the elevation of the land behind him had been changed. President Worthen stated that he would get with Judy Atwood and Gary Priest and submit their questions in writing to Christopher Burke to request more information.
