This swale should be installed prior to platting. Steve Williams, Franklin Engineering Co., appears on behalf of Mr. Clay Cruse, who is unable to present this petition due to illness. He agrees to comply with all of the comments mentioned above. Robert Weaver moved to approve both preliminary and final drainage for K Bar J Ranch Estates Minor Subdivision subject to the aforementioned conditions. Irvin Adams seconded the motion.
Petition is approved.
N. This is not a guarantee that all the existing problems will be resolved, but they should be alleviated somewhat. County Surveyor Doug Lechner is asked his views on the open ditch. He states this may strangle two or three acres for the landowner, but this is an offer to help reduce the current problems. Mr. Adams asks if cleaning the ditch will make it low enough to alleviate some of the problems. Mr. VanValer answers that it will help, but that they cannot completely solve the upstream problems as there is a serious situation in that area, but hopefully it will lesson them somewhat.
