AYES: Supervisors Powers, Schroder, McPeak, ,Torlakson, Fanden' .
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Vine Hill Road Detention
and Infiltration Basin
The Board on October 29 , 1985 fixed this date for a discussion
of the problems that have arisen in Drainage Area 29H, Vine Hill Road
Detention and Infiltration Basin.
Milton Kubicek, Deputy Public Works Director, Flood Control
and Operations, advised that the residents of the area surrounding the
subject detention and infiltration basin contend that they were not
advised when they purchased their properties of the existence of the
infiltration basin nor of the plan for its use as a future detention
basin, and had requested that the planned detention basin system for
Drainage Area 29H be eliminated through a plan amendment. Mr. Kubicek
stated that the cost to amend the Flood Control District Drainage Plan
to eliminate the detention basin and increase the downstream drainage
system would be an estimated $325,000, and this additional cost would
have to be borne by all future developing properties in Drainage Area
29H. He therefore recommended that the Drainage Area 29H system remain
as a detention-infiltration basin and that the plan not be amended.
Supervisor Tom Torlakson commented on the complicated history
of the Drainage Area 29H and the concerns of the residents, and recom-
mended that the Drainage Area 29H plan be amended to allow construction
of a drainage system through the area to an ultimate outfall. He noted
that the alternatives he had presented to staff in a report dated
October 29 , 1985 offered specific steps for both interim and long-term
resolution of the problem.
The following area residents spoke and requested resolution
of the problem:
Tom Claycomb, 2970 Almondwood Place, Oakley
Frank Belliss, 2870 Vine Hill, Oakley
Dr. Noble 0. Elcenko, D.C. , 2830 Vine Hill, Oakley
Margaret Chapin, 4781 Knarlwood Road, Oakley
Supervisor Tom Powers recommended that the matter be referred
back to the Flood Control staff to develop a proposal based on the
alternatives presented by Supervisor Torlakson.
Board members being in agreement, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED
that the alternatives recommended by Supervisor Torlakson relative to
the Vine Hill Road Detention and Infiltration Basin are conceptually
APPROVED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the issue is REFERRED to the Public
Works Director and Flood Control staff to develop the least costly
alternative to the detention and infiltration basin in Drainage Area 29H;
to include in said proposal provisions for maintenance; and to recommend
a resolution that would better define easements and provide more explicit
information to prospective property owners.
hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
