BACKGROUND:

The Myrtle Grove Elementary Pond Project located in Branch K of the Warrington Basin Study is designed to alleviate chronic flooding issues at and around Myrtle Grove Elementary School and surrounding side streets near 61st and 63rd Avenue. The project will provide an overflow positive outfall route running west through a series of ponds and easements before eventually draining into the existing system along 65th Avenue, which was constructed with the Myrtle Grove Sidewalk Project. The county will need to acquire two more properties (one west of 65th Avenue) and one easement, to connect the existing school property to the new pond location.

The Bryans' property, located at 902 North 63rd Avenue, a vacant residential property adjacent to the Myrtle Grove Elementary School, has been identified by our consultant engineer as one of the vital properties to be acquired for the success of this project. This property would provide a storage area and a conveyance for the upper Myrtle Grove Pond, and is necessary to allow for completion of the construction of the proposed pond and conveyance system. The school and surrounding residents will benefit from this regional stormwater infrastructure improvement.

This property is located in District 2.
