Steve Gillett spoke to Turner, Collie, Braden Construction
Engineer to see if there was any change in the progress at
the 3EWPP; the earliest completion date of water production
is June 1st. The Cities of La Porte, Morgans Point, wind
Shoreacres have submitted applications to revise permits,
and the Subsidence District will consider our application to
extend the permits to the end of the year.
A problem remains with cleanup in the Brookglen area,
particularly on Somerton. Work was moved to the east s9:de
of Somerton to avoid tearing up sidewalks, utilities, trees,
and utilized the utility easement in the yard. A commitment
was made to sod the yards with the savings realized from riot
having to make sidewalk repairs, and that has been
accomplished. The problem is that homeowners do not see a
difference between their yard and the area between the
sidewalk and the curb, which is a right-of-way. The
contractor dressed the area where they excavated a trench to
lay water line, but the grass has not taken hold. A
decision will be made this week whether to replace the grass
in these rights-of-way to satisfy the homeowners. The area
under consideration is approximately 5-6° wide, by 600-800°
in length.
