Sub-committee meeting called to order by Stan Chrzanowski.
BUSINESS:
Stan provided handouts on perforated, slotted pipes and Cross Drains in Golden Gate. Stan
indicated that the problem in Collier with perforated and slotted pipes is that they drain off
ground water when the ground water head is greater than the surface water head. There followed
a discussion of drainage in the Estates area and damage to roads where the swale system did not
drain to the canal or was inadequate and there is flow across the roads. We discussed the
placement of plugged cross drains in topographic low spots during road work in the Golden Gate
area with the thought that they could be utilized during storm events to alleviate road flooding,
and re-plugged if they caused adverse conditions to existing dwellings. Future elevation and
hydrologic studies may indicate where plugs are not needed but the pipes should be plugged at
this time. The sub-committee recommended the placement of plugged cross drains be brought to
the main committee for discussion and also recommended that the use of perforated and or
slotted pipes should not be considered by the committee
