Scott McDowell, Attorney representing Wayne Brown, appeared before the Committee and explained that several months ago Mr. Brown applied for a subdivision plat on the property in question, and the City Council referred this matter to the Street and Drainage Committee for their study and recommendation. Mr. McDowell stated that Mr. Brown owns approximately 2 112 acres, and Mr. Brown has employed Brandon Chaney to do the engineering on storm drainage. Mr. McDowell told the Council that the cheapest and best way the drainage could be accomplished is to use the opposite side of the street from the requirements of the City because of problems with the curb and gutter falling off, and he felt it would be more feasible to go down the West side of the Street, and the estimated cost would be $22,000.00. Mr. Brown has presented a proposal to the City Council with the City paying 75% of the cost with Mr. Brown paying 25 %. Mr. McDowell said Dr. Donald Lewis owns a tract of land that has not be developed adjacent to Mr. Brown's property. Mr. McDowell proposed that the Committee recommend to the Council that the City sponsor the storm drainage with Mr. Brown picking up his pro rata share for his property, Dr. Lewis, when he develops his property picking up his pro rata share of the cost, and the City also participating toward their portion of the project. Brandon Chaney, Engineer for Mr. Brown, appeared before the Council, and presented background information of the storm drainage for the areas. Mr. Chaney said the percentage based on acreage is 28.5% for Mr. Brown, 15.8% for Dr. Lewis, and 55.6% for the City of Paris. Richard Babb, Interim City Engineer, appeared before the Committee stating this street was a proposed 39 feet collectors street in the Master Plan of the City, and discussed the drainage in the area. City Attorney Haynes questioned Mr. Chaney regarding Mr Brown's fourplex that is also in the drainage area. City Attorney Haynes requested that Mr. Chaney adjust his figures to include Mr. Brown's fourplex in the drainage project. Mr. Chaney's figures reflected the City of Paris - 47.7% or $10,500.00, Mr. Brown - 36.7% or $8,000.00, and Dr. Lewis - 15.8% or $3,500.00 with City Engineer Babb being in agreement wit the percentages.
