You have promised me on multiple occasions to provide <br />me with a plan and i have yet to receive one. You told me i would be part of the planning process and i have yet <br />to be notified of any planning meetings. You then told me over the phone you had a plan in place and were <br />ready to get but were waiting on fish and wildlife. When i spoke to you after talking with Brent you said you <br />Iooked at the plan and it still needed work_ You seem to be speaking out both sides of your mouth. Last year <br />you said you were ready to fix the ditch but ran out of time. Now you have a new excuse. <br />When i spoke to you over the phone after talking with Brent you became frustrated with me asking questions <br />and not understanding what you were planning to do. How could i possibly know what your plans are when <br />you have failed to involve me at all in any of the process or provide me with a copy of the plan as promised. <br />I would like to see the plan so i can understand how putting a culvert under the road to drain from the west side <br />of the roadway to the east side of the roadway has anything to do with the pipe that is already sitting in the <br />stream bed. They seem to be two completely different projects. If they are tied together i would like to see the <br />plan so i have an understanding of how they are tied together. <br />My neighbor Chris Sakas who resides at 134 Old Cedars Rd is now involved in this process as his field and <br />yard is greatly impacted as well. I believe he sent you an email regarding his concerns. <br />This project needs to be done this year. If need be Chris and i have already talked and we will seek legal <br />counsel to motivate the county to fix your problem, The ditch doesn't belong to me. It belongs to Kittitas <br />County. The ditch is inadequately designed and because of it my property floods every single year as a result. <br />Every year i miss days of work because i have to stay home and pump water off my property from your <br />overflowing ditch. I have sent you emails and photos and had you and other county employees out to my <br />property to see first hand what i am talking about. We are talking about 100's of thousands of gallons of water <br />on my property. <br />Every year i have to stress out about a snow event followed by a rain event. I am tired of it. It is sad that we <br />may have to get attorney's involved over a simple ditch issue. An issue that could be resolved with 2-3 days <br />work. Right now i am simply asking you to fix your ditch so it drains away from my property. If i have to go <br />through the time, effort and money to hire an attorney i will be asking for alot more. I have waited 4 years, I <br />am not waiting another. <br />Chad <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />On Aug 25, 2017, at 8:20 AM, Mark Cook mark.cook(a)co.kittitas,wa.us> wrote: <br />We met last week with WDFW, It is my understanding that they are proceeding with culvert <br />removal.
