NOTE: This report is presented to the Carmel City Council and its Annexation &
Land Use Committee by private citizens, with the express intent ofan objective
presentation of facts related to this project. As such, it is our collective intent that
the subject material be presented without accusation, blame or recrimination to
any party involved in the Crooked Stick Drainage project proceedings. Our intent
is simply to provide information appropriate to enable the City Council to
ascertain whether the premises of the Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project
conform and comply with the SW Clay Annexation Settlement Agreement. We hope
and trust that this report will be accepted and viewed in this spirit of objective
public discussion.
Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
Purpose of this Crooked Stick Drainage Project Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the Carmel City Council with an analytical baseline for
assessing whether the county- approved Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project meets the terms
and conditions set forth in the SW Clay Annexation Settlement Agreement.
The citizens of the newly annexed SW Clay area are extremely sensitive to the need for the City
to honestly fulfill the terms of the Settlement Agreement. As such, the proposed drainage project
for Crooked Stick Estates, which was approved by the County Drainage Board in August, 2011,
has been questioned as to its validity and origin.
On October 3, 2011, multiple residents of the SW Clay area requested that the City Council take
the county- approved Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project under advisement to determine
whether the project conforms to the Settlement Agreement, especially with regard to the
assertions made in the County Surveyor's report that the city would pay the cost of the drainage
project. In response to the citizens' requests, the City Council assigned the Council's
Annexation and Land Use Committee (ALUC) to review the project and make recommendations
to the full Council.
The purpose of this report is to present the ALUC with the facts and documents which present
the rationale used to determine the propriety ol'the project, with regard to the terms and
conditions of the Settlement Agreement.
Summary of Conclusions Related to the Crooked Stick Estates
Drainage Project
The public documents acquired and examined suggest that the following conclusions are
appropriate with regard to the Crooked Stick Drainage project, as approved by the Hamilton
County Drainage Board:
• The Annexation Settlement Agreement clearly set forth that drainage projects would be
professionally assessed and quantified in a Master Drainage Plan.
• A Master Drainage Plan was, in fact, developed by Crossroad Engineers and approved
by the city.
• The City of Carmel clearly set forth a process by which drainage projects would be
funded in Ordinance D- 1969 -09, as well as specifically setting aside funding for a
"Crooked Stick" drainage project in that Ordinance.
2 1 Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
• In 2010, the Hamilton County Surveyor's office received a petition from certain property
owners in Crooked Stick Estates to resolve a drainage problem, and the County
Surveyor presented a report on that petition project in March, 2011
• However, due to unspecified miscommunication, the drainage problem cited in the
Master Drainage Plan for Crooked Stick Estates is NOT the same drainage problem cited
or addressed in the petition which the County Surveyor received.
• The funding and project approval process identified in Ordinance D- 1969 -09 affords the
City Council the opportunity to review and approve or disapprove projects to be funded
under the Settlement Agreement.
• The funding approval process described in Ordinance D- 1969 -09 was NOT followed in
the approval of the Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project, therefore, city funding is NOT
committed for construction of the Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project.
• The sequence of events related to the Crooked Stick Drainage project has led to a
lawsuit filed by residents of Crooked Stick Estates to halt the proposed project.
Requested Council Action Regarding the Crooked Stick Drainage
Project and the Fulfillment of the Settlement Agreement
The residents of SW Clay which have reviewed the Crooked Stick Estates Drainage project have
made two respectful requests of the City Council with regard to the fulfillment of the terms and
conditions of the Settlement Agreement, summarized as follows:
• That the City Council (and ALUC) review the facts of the project and notify the County
Drainage Board that the City has NOT approved funding for the Crooked Stick Estates
Drainage project, as alleged.
o In order to be fair to all parties involved, we ask that the County Drainage Board
be notified in writing, as a courtesy to the County, in order to prevent an
additional waste of taxpayer resources with regard to the Crooked Stick Estates
Drainage project, and the lawsuit which has resulted.
• That the City Council (and ALUC) work in cooperation with NOAX and SW Clay area
residents to develop a process for reviewing projects alleged to fulfill the terms and
conditions of the Settlement Agreement in order to prevent a recurrence of problems
such as the one experienced for Crooked Stick Estates.
o We note that the process employed for developing and considering alternatives
to address the Bridleborne drainage project can serve as a model for future use
by the City Council.

SW Clay Settlement Agreement
The SW Clay Settlement Agreement ( "Settlement Agreement ") was executed in September,
2005. The Settlement Agreement specifies a number of commitments to the residents of SW
Clay, however there are two specific sections which relate to the Crooked Stick. Estates drainage
project, and those sections are presented in relevant part below (See also Appendix A).
Section I. k. "Carmel will develop a master drainage plan within 2 years (One the Effective
Dale of this Agreement to address and correct drainage problems in all of the Annexation
Territory'.
Section 1.1. "Carne/ will cause engineering plans to be drawn and complete
ennstruction and implementation thereof for the drainage issues in LW' 6171111 Walnut
Creek, Kings Mill, Brtdlehorne, Windemere, Crooked Stick and Crooked Stick West ...
The cost of these improvements shall he funded with the „hinds allocated to road
improvements in Carmel's Fiscal Plan that w-e not neededtbr the road
improvements...."
(Note: Section 1.1. of the Settlement Agreement is the section upon which the County
based its claims related to funding the Crooked Stick Estates drainage project.)
(Note: Section 1.k. of the Settlement Agreement was fulfilled through the approval of the
Southwest Clay Township Annexation Master Drainage Plan (`Master Drainage Plan ") as
prepared by Crossroad Engineers.)
Ordinance D- 1969 -09, as Amended (... Approving a Lease ... Pledging
County Option Income Tax Revenues ... to Pay Certain Obligations...)
Ordinance D- 1969 -09 was passed in December, 2009, approving a bond issue in the amount of
$26.3 million' to pay for several projects, including projects listed in " rhibit A: List of
Projects," which includes in relevant part, the following:
Item #4: "Drainage projects in Southwest Clay Township neighborhoods of Larkspur,
Walnut Creek, Kings MW, Bridlchorne, Windemere, Crooked Stick and Crooked Stick
West, to satisfy obligations under annexation agreement. ESTIMATED COST:
SI, 000, 000 "
In addition, Ordinance 0- 1969 -09 included provisions related to the process of approving
construction projects funded through the bonds approved under this ordinance. Those provisions
are included in "Exhibit 13: Construction Bidding & Change Order Procedures," which includes
in relevant part, the following provisions (See Appendix 13):
5 I Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
"hem I. Whenever the hoard of Public Works ... (i) awards a construction bidding
contract relating to the Projects, or (ii) approves a change order relating to the Projects
that individually or in the aggregate exceeds 549,999 (each, a "HMV Decision'), the
4Vork_s board shall deliver written notice of the BPW Decision to the Clerk - Treasurer,
together with instructions to deliver a copy ofsuch notice to each member of the
Canutton Council by dose of business 011 the next business dory....
"Vem 2.... the Cmm11rnn Council shall have the right to review and approve . reject or
marli/y the I3PW decision."
The Lease document attached to Ordinance D- 1969 -09 also includes the same "Exhibit A:
Description of Projects" as provided in the Ordinance, as well as Resolution 2009 -01 of the
Carmel Redevelopment Authority which establishes the Lease Rental Revenue Bonds, including
in relevant part.
"Whereas. the City of Carmel ... intends to issue ... bonds ....for the purpose ofproviding
jimds jor ... (C) the construction of certain roundabouts, drainage improvements and
bike paths in the .southwest day Township portion of the City...."
Resolution 2009 -01 also includes an `Estimated Project Costs Summary" which contains
a line item "Bike paths Si. drainage: $2,000,000."
Resolution 2009 -3 of the Carmel Redevelopment Authority approves the $26.3 million lease as
proposed, including the same "Exhibit A: Description of the Projects" as well as Item �4
describing the drainage projects in "Crooked Stick."
Southwest Clay Township Annexation Master Drainage Plan
The Southwest Clay Township Annexation Master Drainage Plan, prepared by Crossroad
Engineers, PC, was developed to fulfill the requirement of the Settlement Agreement and
contained multiple references to drainage projects in "Crooked Stick." -('hose references are
excerpted below in relevant part (see also Appendix C of this report).
Pages 6 -7: "Crooked Stick Estates ... Visual evaluation ... revealed several areas of
concern. Pandang was noted within a roadside ditch north of Prestwick Lane along
Ditch Road, likely due to being fulled with sedimentation. Next, water ponding on the
north side of Crooked Stick Lane and Ditch Road was evident due to the presence of
landscaping preventing stornewater conveyance from entering the Swale behind the curb
(see Crooked ,Stick (-states pictures in Appendix 13). Also, miscellaneous ponding in rear
yard .swales were reported. The Hamilton County Surveyor's Office reported drainage
complaints of drainage struct res failingon the west side of Ditch Road, south of

Crooked Stick Lane and near the maintenance facility. Also, several complaints due to
erasion control issues were reported. "

contains a line item "On Ditch Road between 106't' Street and 116`1' Street /H- 0682 -010"
(which is the vicinity of Crooked Stick Estates) and notes "0" complaints.
Page A -21 contains a tahle entitled "Seddon 8" (the section containing the Crooked Stick
Estates Area) with ten (10) Tine items related to drainage complaints on individual streets
within the area shown as "Section 8." Only one ofthe 10 line items (Preston Trail)
identities any drainage complaint, whatsoever. (Note: as shown on the table, neither
Prestwick Lane nor Prestwick Court cite any drainage complaints received.)
Page B -8 contains two photographs of drainage problems in Crooked Stick Estates with
both photos clearly depicting a drainage problem on the northwest corner of Crooked
Stick Lane and Ditch Road (confirming the Master Drainage Plan assertions of pp. 6 -7, as
noted above)
County Surveyor's Report (March, 2011)
The Hamilton County Surveyor issued a report to the Drainage Board on March 8, 2011, RE:
Clay Creek Drain, Crooked Stick Estates Section 4 Arm 1, which presents two alternatives for
resolving a drainage problem which was petitioned on April 12, 2010, "by four property owners
... representing 18.18% of the proposed watershed of Clay Creek." The report to the Drainage
Board is excerpted in relevant part as follows (sae also .Appendix D of this report):
(Page 1, paragraph 6) "Crooked S1dckEstates ispart or7he Southwest Clay Township
Annexation Agreement by the City of Carmel. .The City me Carmel, as part of this
7
Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee {October 25, 2011)
annexation agreement, has agrees( to correct identified drainage issues in this
subdivision and has listed this subdivision as ct first priority"
(Page 2, paragraph 3) "Known Problems: The property located at 1535 Prestwick Lane
has a catch basin and storm drain pipe on both the east and west property ltne. Mr.
Thomas McCullough has a .swap line in his basement that outlet (sic) to the catch basin
near his north -west property line. When the pond elevation comes up, the water hacks up
into the .storm drain pipes and come (sic) out of the catch basin in the street. The sump
line has no inhere (sic) to discharge water and his hasement floods. The properties on
both sides of his property also experience flooded basements.-
(Note. McCullough was one of the petitioners who filed the petition cited on page 1 of the
Surveyor's report in 2010 and upon which this report was based.)
The County Surveyor's report recommends implementation of "Option 1 " at a cost of
$146,073, including construction of 1,086 LE of 24" concrete storm sewer line,
discharging the stormwater into Clay Creek via Prestwick Court.
(Note: The "Known Problem" described in the County Surveyor's report is NOT
described in any prior document related to the Settlement Agreement, including the
Master Drainage Plan. Instead, the "known problem" is based entirely upon the petition
filled in 2010. This inconsistency between he provisions of the Settlement Agreement &
Master Drainage Plan and the recommendations of the County Drainage Board is
problematic on several levels.)
(Note' the process by which the County Drainage Board approved the Crooked Stick
Estates project is also inconsistent with the provisions of Ordinance D- 1969 -09, as
presented above, in that the Common Council was not presented with the project as
provided in items 1 and 2 of the Ordinance for approval. This failure of process renders
the assertion invalid that Option 1 of the Surveyor's report was eligible for funding by the
city of Carmel by virtue of failure to comply with the provisions of Ordinance D- 1969 -09.)
(Note'. At the August 8, 2011, public meeting of the County Drainage Board, the County
Surveyor stated that the "Option 1" (proposed alternative) was NOT the best engineering
alternative to resolve the drainage problem cited in the petition.)
(Note: The County Drainage Board approved the project without involving the Common
Council, which stands in stark contrast to the process utilized with respect to the drainage
project in Bridleborne. Bridleborne was also listed as a first priority subdivision in the
Southwest Clay Drainage Master Plan. In February, 2011, the Common Council
approved an interlocal agreement with the County to fund the Bridleborne project.)
Lawsuit Filed by Crooked Stick Estates Residents
On August 24, 2011, a lawsuit was tiled to block construction of the Crooked Slick Estates
Drainage project by four residents of the Crooked Stick neighborhood. Clearly, the need for
lawsuits were not the intent of the Settlement Agreement

Appendix A: SW Clay Settlement Agreement
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT CONCERNING
CAItMEL C1TY ORDINANCE NO. C -263
This Settlement Agreement ( "Agreement ") is made and entered into by and between: (I)
The City of Carmel, Indiana, the Mayor of the City of Carmel, Indiana, and the City Council of p
the City of Carmel, Indiana (collectively the "City "); and K) No Ordinance for Annexation
( "NOAX ") and its members (collectively. "NOAX ") on this_ day of p , 2005.
RECITALS
Whereas, the Cannel City Council published Annexation Ordinance No. C -263
("Ordinance ") on November 26, 2004;
Whereas, NOAX is an unincorporated association comprised of several hundred cwners
of land located in the area to he annexed pursuant to the Ordinance ( "Annexation Area" or
"Annexation Territory");
Whereas, NOAX is governed by a board made up of various homeowners association
presidents and officers as well as other community leaders;
Whereas, NOAX and its board have organized and led the cffon to oppose Ordinance C-
263, which has resulted in the filing of a remonstrance which is pending in Hamilton Superior
Court as Cause No. 29D03- 0502 -MI -188 (the "Remonstrance ");
Whereas, the City and NOAX desire to settle their differences and disputes concerning
the Remonstrance and the Ordinance in order to avoid the expense, burden, and inconvenience of
litigation;
Whereas, by the execution of this Agreement by the City Mayor and by the majority of
the members of the City Council, the City represents that this Agreement has been lawfully
approved by the Mayor and the Council.
ACREEM ENT
In consideration of the Recitals and terms set forth, the City and NOAX agree as follows:
1. Passage and Adoption of an Amendment to the Ordinance. The Carmel City
Council shall pass and the City Mayor shall execute an amendment to the Ordinance (hereinafter
the "Amendment "). The Amendment shall provide as follows:
a. The Amendment shall be effective only upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Paragraph 3 herein.
b. The effective date ol'the annexation shall he three years following the date
of the order provided in Paragraph 3 herein.
c. A tax abatement program for the Annexation Temtory shall he
established, whereby 75 % of the property taxes for municipal purposes
Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 20
net-
shall be abated in the first year following the effective date of the
annexation, 50% in the second year, and 25% in the third year.
d. In the fiscal plan adopted by Cannel, Carmel has projected to invest 540
million in road irnproventents in the Annexation Territory. Within ninety
(90) days of the Effective Date of this Agreement or January I, 2006,
whichever is last to occur, Carmel shall initiate a process by which the
existing Comprehensive and Thoroughfare Plan for the Annexation
Territory will be made available for review and revision as necessary and
advisable. Public meetings will be held in the Annexation Territory for
input, prior to any changes being made to this plan. NOAX and Cannel
understand and agree that until the annexation is effective, all
improvements to roads and streets arc subject to Hamilton County
approval. Subject to any necessary Hamilton County approval, Carmel
will commit up to $40 million to the improvement of intersections and
resurfacing of all roads in the Annexation Territory as needed to bring
them up to the standards within the Cannel limits over a period of six
years after the Effective Date of this Agreement. With the changes
provided herein, it is no longer estimated that the entire $40 million will
be required for road improvements. Intersection improvements at 10611 &
Shelburne Road, 96th & Towne Rd, 106°1 & Springmill Road, and 96th &
Springmill Road, will take priority over all other projects, with the first
intersection improvement being initiated within 90 days of the Effective
Date of this agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, initiation of the
improvement shall commence with the preparation of engineering plans
and not the commencement of actual construction. These intersection
improvements shall be coordinated pursuant to a traffic management plan
that is reasonable and consistent with good engineering practice so that
traffic will properly flow through the Annexation Territory while the
improvements are being completed. No decision to build or expand any
road in the Annexation Territory other than Illinois Street or
Commerce Drive from its current size or character will he made prior
to January, 2012, which is when those persons elected at the first
municipal election when registered voters in the Annexation Territory
are permitted to vote will assume office. This last sentence: (I) shall
not prohibit Carmel from accepting roads that are dedicated to
Carmel by a developer; and (2) shall not apply to the addition of a
turning lane which may be required by the City of Carmel with
respect to a new development ur new construction
e. "Collector Roads" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean in the
Annexation Territory: Springmill Road, Ditch Road, Shelborne Road,
Towne Road (all of the previous north -south roads from the southern edge
of 116th Street right -of -way to the southern edge of the 96th Street right -of-
way), 96th Street, and 106th Street. As a main feature of Collector Road
improvements, Carmel will install bicycle paths on both sides of Collector
10 I Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
Roads in the Annexation Territory, depending upon topography and die
amount of available right -of -way.
f. A homeowners' association (that is recognized as a lax exempt
organization under Section 528(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) in the
Annexation Territory may request that Carmel vacate the streets in its
subdivision, and Carne] will vacate such streets a single time. For those
subdivisions in the Annexation Territory that do not have such a
homeowner's association, the request may he made by petition of a
majority of the homeowners in the subdivision.
g. Street lights at Towne Road intersections 146th and 116th, and Ditch Road
intersections 1l& and 96th, shall be replaced with lights similar to those
nt the roundabout at 136th and Springmill Road.
h. Carmel will redistrict its council districts prior to the first municipal
election following the effective date of the annexation, and in so doing, the
territory bounded by US 31 to the East, 116`h Street to the North, the
Boone County line to the West and 96`' Street to the South, will not he
divided (although it may be included with other territory as a part of a
larger district).
It is Carmel's intention that until the review and revision as necessary and
advisable of the Comprehensive and Thoroughfare Plan is completed, no
changes should be made in the Annexation Territory that will create a
housing density of greater than one unit per acre and that no changes in the
zoning district for property in the Annexation Territory outside of the
commercial corridor along the Michigan Road district (collectively
"Zoning Changes ") should be made. It is further Cermcl's objective that,
prior to the assumption of office by the officers elected at the first
municipal elections where voters in the Annexation Territory are
permitted to vote, Zoning Changes in the Annexation Territory should not
he permitted. Cannel will fulfill its legal obligation to give due
consideration to any properly submitted request for a Zoning Change, but
Carmel also recognizes that Zoning Changes in the Annexation Territory
would, in general, not be in the public interest prior to the time when the
review and revision of the Comprehensive and Thoroughfare Plan has
been completed and voters in the Annexation Territory have
representation on the Council.
j. Commensurate with the expiration of term of the current member of the
Canner Plan Commission appointed by the Mayor whose term expires
first, the Mayor will appoint to the Carmel Plan Commission one member
who resides in the Annexation Territory. A resident of the Annexation
Territory shall continue to serve an the Plan Commission at least until the
election of a council member from the new district incorporating the
Annexation Territory.
Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)

Territory. The cost of these improvements shall be funded with the finds
allocated to road improvements in Carmel's fiscal plan that are not needed
for the road improvements prided in Subparagraph (d) herein -
m. 11 is Cannel's practice and desire to bury electric service and other
overhead lines wherever possible throughout the existing City limits.

power lines in the Annexation Territory where practical, affordable and
feasible, recognizing that the decision to hury such lines lies ultimately

Re: Clay Creek Drain, Crooked Stick Estates Section 4 Arm 1
Attached is a petition, plans, drain map, and drainage shed map for the
reconstruction of the Clay Creek regulated drain, Crooked Stick Estates, Section 4 Arm I.
This proposed regulated drain is located in Clay Township near the South West corner of
116°' Street and h,Ditch Road.
The Thomas I- Tussey drain was petitioned for reconstruction on April 12, 2010 by
tour (4) property owners, in Crooked Stick Estates, Section 4, representing 18,18 % of
the proposed watershed of Clay Creek, Crooked Stick Estates Section 4, Arm 1.
Crooked Stick Estates Section 4 is prat of the Thomas Hussey Watershed, The
Thomas Hussey Watershed includes the Thomas Hassey drain, the Queens Manor Arm,
and the Pollack Reconstruction.
The Thomas Hussey drain was constructed per order of the Commissioners Court
per the viewers report dated October 4, 1901. The drain was placed on maintenance on
September 19, 1977, per Drainage Board meeting minutes, Book 1, page 242. The
Queens Manor Arm was placed on maintenance on October 6, 1980, per Drainage Board
meeting minutes, Book t, page 373. The Pollack Reconstruction was approved on
October 5, 1981, per Drainage Board Meeting minutes, Book I, page 436.
The total drainage area within die Thomas Hussey drainage shed covers 296.28
acres and 50 lots. 11 is located in Clay Township, Section 3, and 4, Township 17 North
Mange 3 East. The 'Thomas Hussey drain ultimately flows to the Williams Creek drain.
Crooked Slick Estates is part of Lite Southwest Clay Township Annexation
Agreement by the City of Carmel. The City of Carmel, as part of this annexation
agreement, has agreed to correct identified drainage issues in this subdivision and has
listed this subdivision as a tirst level priority.
e)
24 [ Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
Known Problems:
The Crooked Stick Estates subdivision was developed in the early 1970's.
Section 4 is built around the pond near the 8U' hole on the Crooked Stick Golf Course.
This pond is on property owned by the golf course. The storm drains on the north side of
Crooked Stick Estates, Section 4 pick up stormwater in street catch basins and then direct
the flow through corrugated metal pipes that outlet under water (submerged) into this
pond.
The grade from the street to the pond is slight. During rain free periods the storm
water pipes hold water that back up from the pond to the street catch basins. The catch
basins normally have about two (2) feet of water in them. During rain events the pond
hacks up into the storm water pipes and flows out the top of the catch basins into the
street.
The property located at 1535 Prestwick Lane has a catch basin and storm dram
pipe on both the cast and west property line. Mr. Thomas McCullough has a sump line in
his basement that outlet to the catch basin near his north -west property line. when the
pond elevation comes up, the water backs up into the storm drain pipes and come out of
the catch basin in the street. The sunup line has no where to discharge water and his
basement floods. The properties on both sides of this property also experience flooded
basements.
'I'Ite overall design of this subdivision would not he approved today. The
Surveyor's office does not allow ,submerged discharge pipes or the use of CMP as storm
sewer. The pipe on the eastern property line is nearly flat. The pipe material of CMP has
a short life span and the pad grades would he higher above the normal pool elevation than
the existing pad grade.
Reconstmction Project- Option I
This option will collect the storm water from a portion of Crooked Stick golf
course, front yard drainage from the residential property on a section of Prestwick Lane,
and roadway drainage on Prestwick Lane. This drainage would be routed to the east in a
new storm dram system along the center of Prestwick Lane and then north through the
center of Prestwick Court and outlet to the Clay Creek regulated drama, Crooked Stick
Estates, Section 4 .Ann. 'There are multiple utility line constraints that have been avoided
with this design.
The existing CMP's on both property lines of the McCullough property would be
partially Pilled with flow -able fill concrete. This will block the bnckflow from the pond.
The existing catch basins near the north -west and north -cast property lines of the
McCullough property will be replaced, 1086 linear feet of 24 inch RCP will be installed
in Prestwick Lane and Prestwick Court, and the existing catch basin in the Prestwick
Circle cal -de -sae will be replaced. The 24 inch RCP will outlet From the new catch basin
to the Clay Creek regulated drain, Crooked Stick Estates, Section 4 Ann. Included in this
reconstruction will be four (4) manholes, it pipe end section and rip rap at this outlet.
251 Report to the Annexation & Land Use Committee (October 25, 2011)
Reconstruction Project - Option 1 will add the following to the Clay Creek drain.
1086 LE of 24 in RCP
100 LF of 18 in CMP (existing)
5 catch basins (2- existing)
4 manholes
All of the other storm drain improvements within Crooked Stick Estates will be
maintained by the City of Carmel.
The work will be performed in the existing road right of way, and the storm drain
easements located upon Lot 64, Parcel No. 1743- 04 -00 -00 -055.000 and Lot 65, Parcel
No. 17- 13- 04- 00 -00- 056.000.
This option will allow a lateral from Manhole 113 to be stubbed for the
McCullough property to outlet their sump drain, keeping their basement from flooding.
