Surveys are absolutely crucial. We need to be confident of the process which locates our property lines and existing TRB boundary lines on the ground before any 10 foot wide easement negotiation begins. It also needs to be a process that would be accepted by existing lenders and by prospective lenders when we need to refinance or sell our property.

The survey was done according to best practice standards by licensed land surveyors.

Re the statement: “In lieu of staking, exhibits show the parcel boundary, proposed easements, levee centerline, and aerial imagery.” Does this mean that the parcel, and easement boundaries will be superimposed on an aerial photo?

Yes.

Does “easements” include the temporary construction easement as well as the permanent easement?

Yes.

There is a lot confusion, uncertainty, and fear regarding the location of the temporary easement.

It has been difficult to describe the temporary easements (TCE’s) in a generalized way because they will be negotiated and delineated based on the available space within backyards and side yards. This will be better understood after the appraisal meetings with homeowners in which potential work areas and impediment are identified. The District needs to...

Will the temporary easement also be centered on the existing levee, or will it be 15 ft on the landside as shown in one diagram?

The TCE’s will not overlap the permanent easements, so it will be the latter.

Will all structures and trees have to be removed within that temporary easement area?

No. Trees or structures that can be worked around can remain within the TCE’s. The goal will be to disturb as little as possible during construction.

The previous installation and repair of the TRB did not require large equipment, however there was large equipment used for the prototype. Will large construction equipment have to be used for the new synthetic structure? If so, how will it be brought into our backyards?

TCE’s may include driveways or side yards to connect the work area to Vendola Drive for equipment and material access purposes. These temporary access areas might be located every 5 or so houses depending on the location along the project and ease of access to the levee. The access needs will be identified and negotiated...

Proposed Santa Venetia Floodwall Project existing elevations and berm condition

A levee and timber-reinforced berm sits behind homes on Vendola Drive. The timber-reinforced berm was installed in 1983 by Flood Control Zone 7 after devastating and widespread floods happened two years in a row in Santa Venetia. The purpose of the timber-reinforced berm is to prevent flooding when the tides in Las Gallinas Creek reach...
