Authorization to close the Southfork Estates project (SW26070), and return the $25,000.00 of 2018 General Obligation Bond funds to the appropriate basin (Case No. 26-004)
End
Background:
The proposed project is around 6304 S. 5th Ave. in the Southfork Estates subdivision in Broken Arrow.
The Southfork Estates subdivision was platted in 1992. Approximately 5 acres of offsite flow drains from the neighboring property without any drainage system in place to pick up the offsite flow. The flow currently is concentrated sheet flow and makes its way to the existing storm inlets in the cul-de-sac through the yard at 6304 S. 5th Ave. The Southfork Estates subdivision was designed and constructed prior to Broken Arrow establishing stormwater criteria in 1994.
A new development to the west, Spring Creek Crossing, is currently in the process of building houses. The development has reduced the overall drainage area to the property to approximately 2 acres. The offsite flow still drains through the Southfork Estates subdivision.
This drainage concern was taken to the Drainage Advisory Committee on April 23rd, 2025, for expenditure of design funds (Case No. 25-010) and approved at the July 14th, 2025, City Council meeting.
This matter was taken back to the Drainage Advisory Committee on February 23rd, 2026, to reallocate the design funds to construction funds (Case No. 26-004) and approved at the March 24th, 2026, City Council meeting.
The developer has come to a separate agreement with the affected property owners. The design improvements will no longer be necessary. Staff is requesting that the project be closed, and the remaining funds be transferred back to the appropriate drainage basin.
This area flows to Broken Arrow Creek.
Cost: $0.00
