Mayor Burch stated the purpose of this meeting was to review the complaints from Robert Linzay concerning the number and height of manholes located on the property he owns on Valley Lane. It was felt by some that the problem rested with the City since the City had requested the storm drain pipe size to be increased, even though the manholes were part of the developer's storm sewer construction for the property. Mr. Linzay stated he had asked that the excessive number of manholes be reduced and that the height be lowered so they were not so noticeable on the lot. He said he had talked with John Marshall about taking care of the problem and John had stated he would talk with the City 8ngineer about it. John Marshall reported that he had spoken with Kenneth Vaughn, City 8ngineer, about the problem and Vaughn had stated he would take care of it. The project has been completed and nothing was done to correct Mr. Linzay's concerns. Previous discussion had led to questions as to who was really responsible for the manhole project -- the City or the developer, Garrey. It was agreed that the project had slipped through the cracks and no one had followed the procedures correctly. The developer and contractor had supplied only "Preliminary Plana -- Not for Construction" but no final plane. No building permits had been obtained and the City had not inspected the work nor had City staff P stopped the work to require the permits and inspections to be performed. Mr. Linzay stated he was willing to have the City research the problem with the developer and would appreciate the City's help in getting it corrected. Mayor Burch said she had contacted Garney, Havens Construction Co., William Cunningham with Larkin Associates, and Steve warger, design engineer with Harrington-Cortelyou for information on the project. Cunningham and warger were present at the meeting. During the discussions it was noted that the problems being discussed were as a result of the storm sewer lines constructed by the developer on Mr. Linzay'a property and what the relationship was to the storm drainage project the City had participated in. Larry Larry Reece said the Planning Commission received a set of plans for Reece Briarcliff Hills for storm drainage, which were marked "Preliminary Comments Plans and not for Construction," for the project but did not receive anything further until December 1995, when the contractor furnished a copy of "As built" plane. At no time did the City receive an application for a building permit or plans for application for construction nor request for inspections. Mr. Reece gave a Memorandum to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for attachment to these minutes. Alderman Alderman Aylett asked Larry Reece if he happened to notice Aylett when this construction was going on and was he ever aware of the construction of the storm sewer. Larry Reece said he was involved with the Argosy construction at that time. Ken Ken Vaughn did review the plans and made comments to Harrington Vaughn Cortelyou with regard to the pipe and what they were building. The plans were given to Larkin Associates. Ken Vaughn remembers mentioning the fact that the manholes were quite high ~ he ass told that these were built to meet the street grade when the house was built. Alderman Alderman Beard recalls that the City approved the Plat for Briarcliff Beard Hills. There were preliminary plane which were sent to Larkin Associates. Larkin Associates requested the construction people to increase the size the pipe so that the storm pipe coming from Cherokee Street could be connected and the construction did so with the understanding the City would share in the additional coat of the pipe. Steve Steve warger, Design Bngineer with Harrington Cortelyou, worked on warger the project and worked to coordinate this storm sewer to make the connection with City's storm sewer. William William Cunningham of Larkin Associates said he did not review the Cunningham plans at the preliminary stage. The City had commissioned them to design Cherokee Storm drainage system and at that time he tried to tie in the Cherokee system to the one of Briarcliff Hills. He asked Garney Construction Company to increase its size from 27" to 30" and this was done. He also said that the plane showed that the area was to be surveyed and the construction of Briarcliff storm sewer would be built at the height necessary and also if it was necessary to fill, this would be done by Garney Construction Company after the correct height was established. Discus- Further discussions were had and the Mayor requested P Min. Reg. Meet., 2-13-96 Page3 sion permission to check wiCh the construction people regarding this construction and perhaps to get more information and will report back with what she can find out. She would like to have the construction people at a meeting, if at all possible. It was decided that the Mayor would check further into this matter and report back. Carl Carl Gustafson, 505 NOP Cherokee, who was present, asked if Garney had Gustafson permit to do grading behind his property which is in Riverside. Request Mayor Burch said that this would be checked out. Alderman Aust moved meeting adjourn, seconded by Alderman Aylett, meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. ~~.~~-~ Secretary to the Board ` ~l `Y~ P
