DRAINAGE CONDITIONS, ARTHUR BL014QUIST PROPERTY, NORTH OF BAYSHORE HIGHWAY, Industrial property between Steinberger Street and Harbor Boulevard. City Engineer Jain re- pgrted Mr. Blomquist had destroyed the 15 inch sanitary and storm sewer line across the City easement to connect with Redwood Creek and constructed a dike the full length of Bayshore Highway to retain filled material to be dredged from Redwood Creek. Both acts would result in elimination of the natural' drainage area for the City, which flood waters had always drained on processed land into the Creek at low tide. H6 asked that necessary steps be taken to require the owner to provide immediate facil- itie•s for drainage to replace those which had been destroyed and to refrain from dumping storm waters into the Steinberger Street channel, which had never handled this run-off previously. The present Steinberger Street channel a4d its culverts were not designed to handle any such amount of storm water. The City Manager con- curred that immediate action was in order to prevent the possibility of a critical flood water condition during heavy run-off periods. Payor Werder stated this had been discussed in the sort meeting prior to the regular meeting of this evening and the Real Estate Committee, Councilman Holmquist and Spillers, with Mr. Rolison, Mr. Jain and Mr. Currie had been asked to meet with the owner to work out this problem and report to the Council.
