Lydens – sewer and ditch plans (subject to change)

At the 4/26 meeting, Chris Budeski, C.A.N. member and the engineer for Gallatin Valley Real Estate, briefly discussed the sewer plans for the Lyden development east of Fowler Extended.

Chris graciously gave Mike Cole (302 Sweetgrass) a set of preliminary sewer drawings. You are welcome to borrow the drawings.

Basically, the sewer will be put in as follows (according to the preliminary drawings). From Durston to the French property north boundary, the sewer will run east of the existing ditch. The sewer line will cross over to the city right-of-way just north of the French property line (i.e., just north of Cascade St.). From this point, the sewer will run just west of the French fence all the way to Babcock.

Chris said they plan to pipe the existing irrigation ditch from Durston to the north boundary of the French property line. The Farmers Canal Company insists that their ditch be piped.

At one of the city commission meetings, Chris showed a rough sketch that had the ditch pipe buried just east of the Sweetgrass property lines (i.e., a few feet east of the telephone bozes).

Chris said that GVRE (the developer) will distribute flyers to the residents on the east side of Sweetgrass prior to them piping the ditch or putting in the sewer line. Apparently the City does not require this notification – it’s a courtesy.
