Citizens Comments -
Mr. Steve Honnold addressed the drainage situation at or near the intersection of Chiniak
Drive and Sargent Creek Road. Honnold thanked the Board for the job to date to help
keep water from flooding properties south of the intersection with last summers ditching
and culvert installation as well as the recent removal of snow placed in the ditch during
snow removal events by both the contractor and residents.
Honnold stated that he believed the driveway culverts at the Haight property were
undersized and were contributing to water crossing the road from east to west at the
intersection: He realized that there are significant costs involved and urged the Board to
look at working within the existing easements: Honnold expressed concern regarding
damage to the culvert on Chiniak Drive that could add to potential flooding with the
spring thaw.
Isadore mentioned that he has been in contact with the KIB staff and is awaiting
information regarding existing easements and plats for the area. He stated that when the
KIB staff has completed research that a meeting would be held with KIB Staff and the
area residents.
