All-
&This morning, May 7, 2010, Catawba County Utilities Engineering received a call from Ms. Venitta Shields (6668
Mountain Grove Road,Hickory).Ms. Shields was complaining of storm water run-off coming offCounty owned property,
located North and adjacent to her property, and runningdown the shared property line on her side, washing under an out
building, and"flooding" a low point on the back side of her property. The County ownedproperty is the site of a pump
station for the Mountain Grove water line. At approximately 10:15 AM, Ronda Gomez, Jacob Reid, and myself met with
Ms. Shields at her property to determine if the storm water run-off was caused bythe County owned property and to
ascertain a possible solution, should theCounty property be at fault.Upon investigation, the County ownedproperty has
proper ground cover/vegetation and drainage to prevent any waterrun-off from impacting the surrounding properties.All
storm waterimpacting Ms. Shields property originates from property located across from herat the corner of Mountain
Grove Road and Old Shelby Road.Water runs offof that corner property, cuts diagonally across Mountain Grove Road,
and ontoMs. Shields property, creating the issues.
Unfortunately, Ms. Shields' property is located in a lowlying area with regards to all surrounding property.We informed
Ms. Shields that she is free to manage the drainage on her property to prevent the"wash out" and "flooding," but the
County property/drainage is not theissue.During the visit Ms. Shields informed us that she had met withNC-DOT staff
on site and they felt that all road drainage was adequate.During this morning's visit Ronda took several pictures of the
area and theyare attached.If anyone has any questions please give me a call.
Regards,
Jon
