denied by the Watershed
.
Rather than remove 4,500 cubic yards of fill and correct the problem,
the Watershed District suggested that MERF ask the City for a transfer
of floodplain rights from Valley Park.
Staff recommended that the City transfer a portion of the floodplain
rights from Valley Park to Peace Valley Townhomes on a temporary
basis, subject to returning the rights, when needed. The City Council
would adopt a resolution approving the transfer, subject to requiring
MERF to prepare legal documents that would place a deed restriction on
the property, allowing the City to take back their flood plain rights,
when needed. This action would give MERF some time to work out other
alternatives.
