The residents attended a neighborhood meeting with the Bountiful City Council March 13.; The city is considering the lining on Stone Creek as a flood control measure. Much of Stone Creek below Orchard Drive has already been lined with concrete. The city, however, is considering lining portions of the creek with concrete above 800 East. City Engineer Jack Balling said much of the channel is composed of a soft clay material that co.uld be eroded by the stream. The concrete lining would help prevent further erosion plus the lining would help channel the ing the need for sandbags during heavy stream I water-reduc- flows. Balling said the city would like to place a rectangular cement structure that would run for 300 feet above 800 East. He said many of the sides of the present creek channel are unstable. ' But the approximately 30 residents who attended the meeting were divided on whether the creek should be lined as a flood control measure. Some residents said they feared the concrete channel would pose a danger to children. Others said they could live with the cement structure only if the city promised to build fences v along the creek. But others said they were opposed to the cement lining because they do not want fences their use of the built-restric- ting creek. Balling said that since the city does not own the property along the creek, the city would need to get permission from property owners to line the creek. He said the city had nearly I Oft percent cooperation from property owners on Barton. Creek when a cement channel was built there. Also, the city received the support of most property owners living below Orchard Drive on Stone Creek when a cement lining was placed there. The city does have the option to condemn property if property owners refuse to allow a cement lining. But thus far the city has resisted doing so. . If property is condemned, then the city must purchase that property, something which Balling said the city doesnt have the funds to do.- "-t- - ;, V' , ' ,'ij Vi; j 'f I Iff1!, Vtj! ft " i'' ; k V. v ' , t x " r- ; ixx ' 4 I1 ' ' 4oiiL W Jji rt, 'tii , i ', 1 II" 1 i, j X Hdflp., ' ' XxX f ,r W - Mayor Dean Stahle said that although he does not like concrete lined channels sometimes we have to do things just because they have to be done. He said the city does not want howevto appear er, in dealing with the matter. City Attorney Layne Forbes noted that with a concrete channel the city takes upon itself additional responsibility. Once the creek is lined, then the city has a responsibility to keep the channel clean and properly maintained. Where the creek is not lined, the city has no such responsibility. In a natural disaster, the city would only have legal responsibility to clean up and provide assistance in those areas where a concrete lined projects-su- ch channel were built under' city added. supervision, Forbes ' life of a con-- , Balling said the crete channel could be 40 years.
