As per our conversation of November 11 , 1994 , I am submitting this layout of proposed
channel excavations to improve drainage conditions at the above stated address. This
property is located at the bottom of the drainage area and I am proposing the diversion of
water to Bermuda Court by way of a small grass lined channel. The enclosed sketch details
these proposed improvements.
In a letter from Mr. Mark Smith , P.E. dated October 21 , 1994 , he made reference to City
assistance if the improvements were located within an easement. There is a 10 foot utility
easement along the north property line as indicated on the enclosed sketch. Would this type
of easement fall under that condition?
If you have any questions feel free to contact me at 774-7620 . Please leave a message on my
answering machine , as I will be checking it each day during the lunch hour .
Sincerely ,
Steven Homeyer

RE: Property at 1417 & 1419 Bermuda
Dear Mr. Homeyer:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me Thursday . By looking at the lay of the land at your duplex
on Bermuda it is apparent that you have a flooding problem. Water from the area up hill from your
property drains downhill toward the duplex . The structure's slab is not elevated above the ground and the
water seeps inside.
I'm sorry to say that the City cannot assist yi:m in making improvements to your property to alleviate the
problem . The City is prohibited from using public funds for the improvement of private property unless
one of three conditions is met:
L The action requested is for the direct accomplishment of a legitimate public purpose, and the benefit
to a private interest is merely incidental;
2 . The problem to be addressed is.a direct result of some act for which the City is liable; or
3 . The action requested entails some improvement to a public property interest (i.e., an easement).
There are landscape firms in the Bryan/College Station area that can help you to correct the problem .
They provide expert landscape design and construction services. I think that the berm idea that you
mentioned is a possible solution . Also a small grass lined channel that would intercept the water and
direct it to the street would help . Actually, a combination of the two concepts could be the best solution.
I'd also suggest that you look into a flood insurance policy . The City participates with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to make flood insurance available to all properties in College Station. I
hope that you are able to find a solution to your drainage problems.
