JEFFERSONIA CONDOMINIUM DRAINAGE ISSUE
Date: January 28, 2002
To:
Subject:
The Jeffersonian Condominium, located at 17th Street and Jefferson Avenue, drained
portions of their stormwater through the City's adjacent parking lot into the City's.
stormwater system. The City then leased the adjacent parking lot property to Scott Robins
who is now constructing a building. The Jeffersonian drainage piping was not shown in
City drawings. During construction the drainage pipe was cut and now when it rains
portions of the Jeffersonian flood. The Jeffersonian Condominium has requested that the
drainage problem be fixed. Public Works has designed a proposed installation of a French
drainpipe connecting it to 17th Street. However, Scott Robins does not want to pay for the
construction costs of this installation. We believe the developer; Scott Robins, is
responsible to restore the storm drainage capacity to the Jeffersonian Condominium.
Please provide us your legal opinion in order to make a final determination regarding this
issue~.JVj7f
