BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Jason Autrey
SUBJECT: William Gary Johnson Road Drainage Easement
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: District 3
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: James Owen, adjacent landowner on the west side of William Gary
Johnson Road, has agreed to grant the County an easement to facilitate stormwater conveyance
via drainage ditch in conjunction with planned improvements to the road.
BACKGROUND: Staff has negotiated to obtain a drainage easement from James Owen, a
landowner along the west side of County maintained William Gary Johnson Road in the Baker
area. Land owners have requested that William Gary Johnson Road be improved with millings
and/or the chip seal process. Due to flooding issues in this segment of road during heavy
rainfall, the Road Department has constructed an outfall ditch to convey runoff by routing a
portion of the stormwater to a shallow retention area.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove acceptance of the proposed drainage easement into the
County's maintenance system.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Accept and record the proposed drainage easement to facilitate
maintenance of a portion of the stormwater along the William Gary Johnson Road.
