ENGINEER'S REPORT
Ditch No. 2103
Upper Amboy-Lucas No. 3
Iozzo Petition
November 6, 2006
Final Hearing December 7, 2006
PROJECT INITIATION
This drainage improvement was initiated through a single
county drainage petition filed by Mr. and Mrs. Michael Iozzo on
July 31, 2006. The work petitioned for includes installing a new
ten (10) inch storm sewer and appurtenances from the Iozzo Rural
Subdivision across the Gillen property to an open ditch known as
Ditch No. 2010, Amboy Lucas No. 3
The petition was written to commence on the Iozzo Gillen
property line approximately twelve hundred ninety (1,290) feet
north of US 20 in the Southeast Quarter of Section 23, T-9-S,
R-4-E in Amboy Township and continues downstream to the east
terminating at the upper end of Amboy Lucas No.3.
Amboy Lucas No. 3 was last cleaned in 1975 and is presently on
the Fulton County ditch maintenance program administered by the
County Commissioners and managed by the County Engineer.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is to install a new ten (10)
inch storm sewer across the Gillen property, along with the
necessary appurtenances, to ultimately serve as the new storm
drainage outlet of a rural subdivision drainage system to be
installed by the Iozzos. The storm sewer will drain thirty (30)
acres of surface and subsurface storm water from the middle
portion of the Iozzo property that is currently drained via 6and
10-inch agricultural drainage tiles. The new storm drainage
outlet will provide an improved outlet for the rural subdivision
and will reduce the load on the existing drain tile, potentially
extending the existing drain tile's useful life.
WORK PROPOSED
The work plan for this project includes the installation of
390 L.F. of 10-inch Type C, polyvinyl chloride solid wall pipe
(PVC) with rubber gasket joints. The pipe will be installed on
six inches of granular bedding material with granular backfill
to six inches above the top of the pipe. The remainder of the
trench will be filled with finely divided soil, free of rocks
and debris and mechanically compacted in six inch lifts. An
animal guard will be placed in the outlet end of the new pipe
and a catch basin will be installed just inside the Iozzo
property at the upper terminus of the new outlet. A short length
of pipe will be extended to the west from the new catch basin to
facilitate extension of the storm drain into the rural
subdivision at a later date.
All disturbed grassed areas will be restored by seeding and
mulching including the ditch bank and the lawn area from the
Iozzo drive to the new tile and catch basin. Rock channel
protection will be placed at the outlet as required to prevent
erosion at the ditch.
A parallel drain tile header is proposed to connect any lateral
ag drains from the north on the Gillen property that may be cut
off by the installation new rural subdivision outlet. The
parallel header will eliminate the need to connect old field
tiles to the new storm sewer thus preserving the integrity of
the new storm sewer.
A temporary construction easement fifty feet in width is
proposed from the Iozzo drive to the open ditch across the Iozzo
and Gillen properties. Across Gillen, the temporary easement
will run from 20 feet to the south of the proposed 10-inch storm
sewer to 30 feet to the north on the new storm. Across Iozzo the
easement will be generally straight from the drive to the catch
basin but divert as required to avoid the existing tile and the
Iozzo septic system.
CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATE
The attached preliminary construction estimate is based on
information that was obtained through drainage project records,
aerial photos; field observations, an engineering plan of
improvements for the Iozzo rural subdivision prepared for the
Iozzos by T.R. Worline and Associates, Inc., and submitted the
petition. The county engineer's staff also performed an
engineering survey to confirm locations and elevations in the
Worline plan and to prepare plans for bidding and improvement
records. The estimated cost for the construction of the proposed
ten (10) inch storm sewer, the installation of a six (6) inch
parallel ag drainage header, restoration and erosion control and
damages is $17,251.17 including engineering, administrative
costs and construction financing. If all assessments are paid in
cash prior to construction, financing charges could be
eliminated reducing the project costs to $14,470.15, a sixteen
percent (16%) reduction.
Upon completion of the project work plan, final assessments will
be prorated to reflect the actual final cost of the work
completed.
PROJECT BENEFITS AND ESTIMATED ASSESSMENTS
Rural residential properties 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%.
Assessments for this proposed improvement were based on the
benefits received from the drainage improvements. The type and
quantity of drainage runoff contributed by each parcel was a
consideration. The location of a parcel relative to the location
of the work was also considered.
It is expected that the benefits derived from the proposed
improvement over 20will be $64,136.02 and will exceed the
estimated project costs. Assessments for the project are
estimated to range from $291.00 to $1,526.00 per acre.
MAINTENANCE
The Ohio Revised Code requires that all drainage improvement
projects be placed on a permanent maintenance program. The code
provides for the right of access to drainage lines to perform
maintenance activities. The permanent maintenance access
easement for this improvement will be thirty feet in width
centered on the line of the storm sewer.
APPARENT FAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Property values will be improved or protected.
2. Erosion control measures along the open ditch will reduce
erosion and protect the open channel from deterioration.
3. Having the storm sewer placed on permanent maintenance will
insure that the drain can be kept clean and free flowing and
will protect the investment in this proposed improvement.
APPARENT UNFAVORABLE FACTORS
1. Temporary production loss can be expected on cropland
along the line of the improvement during construction and some
reduced yields can be expected for a year or two after
construction.
2. Periodic production loss and inconvenience may result from
future maintenance activity.
3. Lawn areas adjacent to the work area will be disrupted.
PROJECT FEASIBILITY
The project proposed in this petition is feasible and can be
economically completed through the drainage improvement petition
process.
Commissioner Genter closed the hearing at 9:52 AM.
A letter from the Iozzo's was entered into the record stating
they approve the project and also appointing their daughter as
their representative due to their being out of the country.
To follow assessment schedule and move the project forward as
recommended by Mr. Creager.
Commissioner Barnaby made the motion and Commissioner Genter
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously
Bid opening will be Jan. 25, 2007 at 9:31 AM.
