Background and Discussion:
The proposed drainage easement is to improve the existing swale to have a positive drainage from the existing detention basin to outfall channel HCFCD Unit P145-00-00. The easement will be transferred to HCFCD for the maintenance.
Expected Impact:
The easement and the drainage swale improvement will eliminate the ponding in the current condition.
Alternative Options:
If no easement, the ponding in the drainage swale will continue and HCFCD cannot access to maintain.
