Title
Matters relative to Dooley Court drainage
Body
SUMMARY:
Danny Findley and Vickie Myers will be present at the meeting to discuss issues with maintenance of the stream adjacent to Dooley Court and running parallel to Dooley Street.
Upon review by the city staff the following information was discovered:
* Dooley Court is not an Official City Street. City Planning staff researched back through past Official City Street maps (2012, 2005, 1997, 1986, and 1975) Dooley Court was not listed as an official City Street on any of the maps.

* The area that is experiencing flooding issues is in a FEMA identified floodplain. The area is classified as Zone A Flood Zone on the November 16, 2007 FEMA FIRM Map 47035C0308D.

Staff also looked at the archive FloodMaps via the FEMA website and found the area to be listed as a floodplain in the 1974 FIRM maps as well, Tennessee, Cumberland, Crossville, Map 06. A copy of the map is attached.
* The "ditch" that travels through the Dooley Court section, is in fact "waters of the state" and is identified as a direct tributary (stream) to the 303D listed Little Obed River.
* Any work or alteration to structures in the floodplain, stream, or surrounding area that could adversely aff...
