Meadowridge
storm drainage improvement project
Dear Resident,
August 8, 2013
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services held its third public meeting
on July 16 at Living Saviour Lutheran Church for the Meadowridge Storm
Drainage Improvement Project. The purpose of this meeting was to
present the proposed improvements and begin the easement acquisition
phase.
Meeting highlights:
• Project Manager Adrian Cardenas welcomed the attendees and
introduced the project team.
• Mr. Cardenas reviewed the tasks completed during the planning
phase, then proceeded to analyze the current phase and remaining
phases of the project. He also reiterated the project steps needed to
finalize the design phase and begin construction.
• Scott Sigmon, Project Manager for WK Dickson, recapped the
existing conditions findings and the proposed alternative discussed
in the previous public meetings. It was explained that the plans are
now at a 70% design level with specific pipe sizes, locations and
planned channel improvements.
• Steve Frey, Real Estate Project Manager for the City of Charlotte,
discussed the different types of easements that would be required to
construct the proposed improvements: temporary construction and
storm drainage easements.
• A question/answer session was held.
YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
Some questions from the meeting included:
What will be the order of construction?
Generally, construction progresses from the downstream areas to the
upstream areas; however, certain project locations may be constructed at
the same time.
Will the City replace shrubs, trees, and fences on my property that are
affected by construction?
Items, such as fences, removed during the construction process will be
replaced. Fences may need to be slightly relocated if they are located
where channel banks may change. Fences will not be relocated in streams
or channels. If fences are in good condition, the contractor may be asked
to remove and reset the fence following construction. The City will work
with the property owner during the easement process to come to an
agreement on trees and landscaping that will not impact drainage system
or future maintenance.
