Work Session
+ Wylie Ranch East Estates -Drainage Issues.
Mr. Chris Hoisted,Consulting Engineer/Hogan Corporation,was present to provide Council information on the
Drainage issues surrounding the Wylie Ranch East Estates properties. Mr. Hoisted explained that one alternative
would be concrete curb and guttering for both Streets for an approximate cost of$700,000 to$800,000. The
cost to asphalt or black top the streets was approximately$17,000 to 20,000,plus yearly maintenance.
The Mayor asked if the cost provided would include drives and culverts. Mr. Hoisted replied that only 13 of the
20 would require drives and or culverts and that not all lots would be effected. Mr. Hoisted advised that this
solution would not solve the ponding water in the yards of the property owners.

It was determined after discussion with the property owners present that grading of the ditches behind existing
homes could eliminate some of the drainage issues,provided the City could ensure that they were not filled in and
maintained from end to end. There was also some discussion regarding the erosion, specifically on Donna Drive.
It was noted that grass was never put in which may have contributed to the erosion. Weather may have been a
factor in not seeding this area timely.
Mr.Hoisted offered a proposal to establish a grade for Callie,Donna and Brown and replace approximately 13
culverts for an approximate cost of$80,000. Property owners were advised that the ditch may not resolve the
ponding within the individual yards.
Staff advised Council that they would come back next month with a recommendation on the funding for this
project.
