| 9:26:58 AM | Rod Creager, Chief Deputy Engineer - Resolution for Maintenance Base Reductions on Ditch Maintenance Collection and File Mutual Agreement Resolution 2005-711 to authorize the maintenance base reductions on 2005 ditch maintenance collection as presented Resolution 2005-712 |
Mr. Creager presented those landowners who are participating in agreed upon conservation plans with Soil & Water that entitle them to maintenance base reductions. Worksheets were reviewed for some clarifications. Mr. Creager will submit correct copies to be attached to the resolution to approve. Commissioner Genter made motion to approve Seconded by Commissioner Barnaby. Motion carried unanimously. Mutual Agreement application and report - Mr. Creager is filing a mutual agreement today for three developers. It is located on the Feeback farm (has been sold) north of Road S on Road 6 for lot splits on less than 5 acres. In order to develop they need to have proof of water supply. There are 2 tile lines proposed and a grading plan with ponds... Mr. Creager explained the total plan proposed in the mutual agreement and added that it has been prepared by a professional engineer. This system will be public maintained in the subdivision. If agreed upon, there will have to be a public hearing on the tile and drainage improvement. A maintenance base has been prepared by Mr. Creager. PROJECT INITIATION This drainage improvement was initiated through an agreement signed by the three individual land owners who currently own portions of the former Feeback farm located in the Southwest Quarter of Section 8 Town-9 South, Range-4-East in Amboy Township, on Township Road 6 just north of County Road S. Through mutual agreement, the owners have proposed the installation of two new outlet tiles along the east line and the west line of the former Feeback property, draining from the north to the south into Branch 7 of Ten Mile Creek. The filing and acceptance of this mutual agreement for the installation of these proposed tile outlets would create two new branches, 7i and 7j, of Branch 7 Ten Mile Creek. Branch 7 is publicly maintained through the county ditch maintenance program. PROJECT OBJECTIVES The drainage improvements proposed in the agreement will benefit nine (9) of the ten (10) new residential lots to be created by minor subdivision of the former Feeback farm by the three individual owners. The new lots will rely upon ponds as their source of drinking water and the proposed Branch 7i will serve as an outlet for pond overflows and excess surface water at the rear of the new lots. Branch 7j will serve as an outlet for the perimeter drains to be installed around the new septic systems at the front of the lots and will also drain excess surface water between drives along Amboy Township Road 6 and from the front yards of the new lots. The objective of the mutual agreement is to provide publicly maintained drainage outlets to insure that the proposed lots are adequately drained now and consistently maintained in the future. WORK PROPOSED The plans submitted by the landowners were prepared by R.D. Zande and Associates, Inc. and were prepared and approved by a professional engineer registered in the State of Ohio. The plans adequately depict the installation of the two new tiles. Plans call for the installation of a new 12-inch tile draining from south line of the northern most new lot, across the rear of the neighboring lots to the south to an outlet at Branch 7 of Ten Mile Creek just upstream from the railroad culvert. The tile line will have premium joints and will be either a Type E conduit installed on a natural foundation shaped to fit the conduit in a trench prepared by a wheel trencher or a Type C bedded in stone if installed with a backhoe. The line will include 2-foot diameter catch basins at every other lot line for the inlet of excess storm water and for maintenance inspection and clean out access. Rock channel protection will be installed at the tile outlet at Branch 7 to prevent erosion. A 30-foot ditch maintenance easement will be provided for access to the tile by county maintenance forces. The tile across the rear of the lots will be known as Branch 7i of Ten Mile Creek if approved for county maintenance. The tile across the front of the lots as shown on the plan submitted will begin at the south property line of the northern most lot created and continue downstream across the neighboring lots, in a southerly direction to Branch 7 of Ten Mile Creek just downstream from the Road 6 culvert. The tile will be located eight (8) feet outside the Road 6 right-of-way on an 18-foot ditch maintenance easement. The new 12-inch tile will have sealed joints and will be either a Type E conduit installed on a natural foundation shaped to fit the conduit in a trench prepared by a wheel trencher or a Type C bedded in stone if installed with a backhoe. Type B conduit will be installed through proposed drives. Type B conduit is backfilled with compacted granular material to the top of the trench. The front tile will also include 2-foot diameter catch basins at every other property line for the inlet of excess storm water from the road right-of-way and front yards. The inlet structures will also be used for ditch maintenance inspection and access. Erosion will be controlled at the outlet with rock channel protection. The tile across the front of the lots will be known as Branch 7j of Ten Mile Creek if approved for county maintenance. Only the main outlets at the front and the back of the lots will be considered for maintenance. Other work that is proposed in the plan but that will not be maintained in the future includes the relocation of a section of farm tile on the northern lot and the installation of pond overflow outlets and cleanouts. Tile lines connecting perimeter drains into the front outlet will likewise not be included for maintenance. Existing road drainage will be preserved. Only surface water from the right-of-way along the frontage of the lots will drain into the proposed Branch 7j. Existing road tiles will be maintained to drain into an existing catch basin with a separate outlet into Br. 7d of Ten Mile Creek across Road 6. The existing catch basin will be adjusted to grade and will remain in use as a junction structure. CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE The attached construction estimate was submitted by the Avery group along with the project plans. This estimate formed the basis of the maintenance assessment schedule attached hereto. PROJECT BENEFITS AND ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS Benefits resulting from the proposed improvements will be due to the removal of excess surface and subsurface water that can be expected on the proposed residential lots. Owners of the developed residential property will benefit from the timely removal of storm water that tends to pond around houses, buildings and on septic fields or that slowly drains from the soils around leach fields and building foundations. Rural residential properties will benefit from improved drainage by increasing or maintaining their property values. According to local real estate sources, as a general rule, properties suffering from standing water throughout their entire yards are often judged to be devalued as much as 20% to 30%. Properties with some standing water could be devalued as much as 10% to 20%. Areas that suffer even the stigma of standing water could be devalued by 5% to 10%. For this improvement the projected drainage benefit is $2,500.00 per acre. Maintenance assessments for the proposed improvement are based on the original estimate of the work plan proposed and on the potential benefits received from the necessary drainage improvements. The type and quantity of drainage runoff contributed by each owner was also a consideration. MAINTENANCE If approved for maintenance through theses proceedings both tiles would become part of the Fulton County ditch maintenance program. Since both tile lines drain the same group of lots a single maintenance assessment schedule has been prepared and therefore a single maintenance fund is proposed for this improvement. Any future maintenance on either the front tile or the back tile would be funded from the single fund. Any future maintenance assessments to replenish the fund would be collected according to the original single schedule of project benefits. SUMMARY The plans submitted by the Avery group were prepared and approved by a professional engineer registered in the State of Ohio and adequately depict the work plan proposed. Likewise, the schedule submitted with the plans is adequate and there will be no adverse effects on any other drainage improvements or on any highways in the area affected. The project proposed in the mutual agreement is feasible and will be of significant value to the development proposed. The agreement was stamped in for the record. The report was accepted and a date for the public hearing was set for the maintenance base - December 19, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. Commissioner Genter made motion to accept. Seconded by Commissioner Barnaby. Motion carried unanimously | |
