Alanhurst/Cherrycrest storm drainage improvement project YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK Dear Resident: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services has completed their review of the preliminary design plans. The project team will be working with consulting engineers W.K. Dickson and Associates to prepare the easement plats for the start of the real estate phase. Easements are needed for the City to perform construction activities outside of the right-ofway. All property owners will be contacted to set up a short meeting to review the easements needed for construction and to discuss what will happen during construction. Storm Water Services is currently on schedule as it proceeds with the design phase of the project. Next Steps: • Start easement documents • Obtain construction permits from federal, state and local agencies • Finalize design plans • Begin construction As a property owner, if you would like to provide input regarding the project, please feel free to fill out a survey form on the project webpage.
