Dear Bill:
We have observed that the City has recently place some stone riprap
at the Nine Mil e Creek lianksone block upst ream from our bu i 1 d i n9 jus t
s,outh of the railraod tracks'.
Where the creek enters our property Cnewoffice sl tel , immediately east
oflJ tiT Avenue South, there ts: a sharp bend. The bank there i sa 1most
vertical andobvtously subject to erosion. The effect is unsightly as
w-ell as pollution to the creek and 105:-5 of land area. We think that
placement ofrlprapon the r,igb-t Eiank {north side} from the culvert
underJJthAvenue South, past the tree on the bank would be very bene-
fEc ra 1 . Res:hap tog the 1 eft liank OppOS i te wou 1 d a 1 so be des i reab 1 e to
maintain the channel stze~
We reques.t that you and the engineering staff look at the feasibil i ty
of this work.
S i:ncerel y,
