This letter is to ask for your consideration of Mandeville Creek which is really not a creek but
an irrigation ditch. Immediately to the south of the 127 acres are several springs that have
made this acreage a wetlands. The springs naturally channeled into a ditch on this property
that my lake water and decreed water traverse. There used to be a lot of water in this ditch
year round but with subdivisions to the south dewatering to build and draught conditions,
the ditch really has no water except for irrigation water that is sent down.
The purpose of this letter is to address maintaining the ditch and also to reconsider the
storm water drain-off being proposed by the developers for this project. There are two
storm drains--one that travels north alongside the current ditch and dumps onto Kagy Blvd.
and back into Mandeville Creek for the horses in the pasture to the North, and the second
storm water drain that dumps into the irrigation ditch (Mandeville Creek). This water is used
for livestock and for gardens and for this reason really do not want storm water mingling
with irrigation water.
Please reconsider this storm water discharge and perhaps it should be routed to So.
Eleventh St.
Thank you.
