The Clerk read the following letter submitted by the City Engineers Re: Blomquist Industrial Tract - Gentlemen: Please refer to your request for a restudy and recommendation as to drainage facilities in the proposed Blomquist Industrial Tract north of the proposed new Bayshore Freeway. We have inspected the site of the proposed subdivision, existing drainage conditions and investigated costs of operation and maintenance of existing atom drainage pumping plants along Bayshore Highway, now operated by the City. The approximate cost of operation and maintenance of the various plants are estimated as follows: Location 5th Ave. & Bayshore Douglas & Bayshore Maple & Bayshore M Harbor Boulevard Area Served Friendly Acres Redwood Industrial Tracts Ns. 1 and 2 Marshall St. vicinity Emergency bypass pumps for sewage Treatment Plant Horsepower Annual Costs 571 $2000.00 120 2,350.00 70 29025.00 55 2,025.00 It will be noted from the above that the cost to the City is in excess of $20000.00 per year for maintaining and operating each pumping plant taken over by the City. All pumping stations to date have been constructed at the expense of the subdivider or the property included in an assessment district. After reinspecting the site, it is our opinion that the most satisfactory method of OM developing the industrial sites east of the Bayshore Highway would be by filling in the area to an elevation above the highest estimated tide level, so that natural drainage can be had under all conditions of tide and storms. Even though we had previously agreed that the store drainage could be handled by adequate pumping stations, -with equivalent standby power facilities, the annual cost to the City is considerable. This can only be justified on the basis of increased tax revenues which may accrue from development of -these properties. Regardless of which method of drainage is required, or provided, provision should be made for drainage through the Blomquist property of all storm sewers originating west of Bayshore Highway between Harbor Boulevard and Xaple Street, which is not now collected into existing drainage systems. When the Blomquist property was first partially filled in by dredging a few years
