Memo
Date: December 1, 2005
To: Bob Hyde
From: Fred Buckenmeyer,Asst City Engineer
Subject: Proposed residential development, SE corner Georgia Ave/ Oakes Ave
cc: Don Measamer
On November 29, 2005 a proposal was discussed at the Development Review Group
regarding a proposed residential building development, by David Jolly, on a parcel
located on Oakes Avenue at the intersection of Georgia Ave. The parcel is situated in a
depression and is lower than the roadway surface approximatelyl0 feet.
There have been at least 2 occurrences in the past where this parcel was subject to
extreme flooding. In both instances the flooding was extensive enough to damage
Oakes Avenue. It is my understanding that the storm water runoff originated from
Cranberry Lake.
It is my recommendation that no development be permitted for this site until adequate
mitigation can be presented for this issue.
