Consideration, discussion and possible action to recommend to Council to expend funds for clearing of an overgrown channel (Case No. 26-008)
End
Background:
A citizen contacted the City asking for help regarding creek maintenance in their backyard. The applicant stated that the creek is overgrown and causes flooding into their backyard during heavy rain events.
This is the Original Town of Broken Arrow; it was platted around 1906. Located at the corner of Freeport and Date Street. This creek has become overgrown and restricts the flow of water. The Creek drains into a concrete channel that runs along the Nursing Home and into the roadside ditch along N Elm Pl. Stream Stats estimates that 175 acres drain through this section of creek, with a peak 1% storm flow rate of 652 cubic feet per second.
The concept for this project is to contract with a landscaping company to come in and clear the channel to restore its functionality. If the project is approved and then completed the future maintenance responsibility of the channel will remain with the landowners.
This is in the Haikey Creek Basin
