Show DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, FEBRUARY 18, 1981 WEEKLY REFLEX tee Problems lacli Of GiiFiJ find Mop HI Jot By MARK D. MICKELSEN A recent decision by FARMINGTON the county commission delaying curb and gutter requirements for a rural subdivision near Mutton Hollow Road will not result in major drainage problems for adjoining property owners, according to a county planning department spokesman. ASST. PLANNING Director Albert Cole said a similar development east of the Old Hollow subdivision is also without curb and gutter and has existed with no problems at all. He added that many of the lots in that area are an acre or larger in size, allowing the county to defray curb and gutter improvements until a better drainage system is designed to fit the needs of the unincorporated section of Davis County. ff . ONE OF THE landowners, Ira Egbert, complained to the county commission that once the Old Hollow subdivision is constructed, his land in a low spot west of the development will be continually flooded with drainage water. Developers, however, believe that by installing a redwood strip along the asphalt they can prevent the w ater from reaching Mr. Egbert. DEVELOPERS OF the Old Hollow subdivision were told by the commission two weeks ago that they would not be required at this time to install curb and gutter improvements. An added stipulation requires, however, that the developers comply with the county at any time should county officials decide curb and gutters are needed. In general, Mr. Cole said in developments where curb and gutters have been delayed there have been very few, if any major drainage problems. ONE OF THE advantages in the Old Hollow development, he said, is the fact that a natural drainage channel flows from east Layton into the subdivision area. Water from Mutton Hollow road is channeled into the waterway then piped out at the low point of the development. A problem has arisen over the years as the channel has been piped and diverted Once the road is fully developed, Mr. Cole said the county may want to require a total curb and gutter project. In many cases, the subdivision owners and developers would be required to sign an agreement with the county saying future curb and gutter requirements would be carried out at the county's request. BUT, MR. COLE added, Mutton Hollow Road is far from developed as yet. In the event Layton or Kaysville decides to annex the area, the signed agreement would be turned over to the city.

COLE SAID there is not a lot of room for development across Mutton Hol low Road, and therefore not a lot of shame for addition.!1 drainage, problems Aside from the Old Hollow development. he said there are three subdivisions pending approval in West Farmington which may not be required to install curb and gutters right away. Enjoy Camping And Hiking Contact NCHA Christensen Retires Layton Births Like cities throughout the state, the county now has the power to implement improvement districts to take care of the construction. Here, the county is able to bond the remaining balance of the curb and gutter cost and defray the charges back to the landowners who in turn pay according to the amount of frontage they have along the improvement district. The county would pick up half the cost of the improvement district in most cases. MR. COLE SAID one of the reasons adjoining residents will be free from Old Hollow drainage problems is because the amount of ground to be developed in the area is small. In addition, a portion of the old Davis, Weber canal runs through the western portion of the development, allowing some drainage water to run away from the subdivision. IF DEVELOPERS are allowed to install separate curb and gutters along the road at different times, the county fears the overall engineering of the improvements will add to, not stop any potential drainage problems along the road. Sets its LANDOWNERS IN the subdivision. Mr. Cole said, will be the ones responsible for putting the curb and gutter in and paying their share of the overall cost. He said one of the reasons the county is delaying curb and gutter requirements is so they can wait until the entire Mutton Hollow road area is developed. Health Fair KATHLEEN ISOM PLANNER COLE said county officials believe that by designing a total curb and gutter system, the county can avoid future drainage hassels with local landowners.
