none, Plans only - Addition to exist, CorrespondenceFINDINGS AFTER HEAVY STORMS IN JAN 2017
Property owners at 11, 14 and 18 Poppy Trail claimed that damage
was caused on their property due to work being done at 37 Chuckwagon.
#37 Chuckwagon removed vegetation and created pathways (which require
PC approval — See ZC NO. 920)
A visit to all properties was made by staff and LA County drainage engineer
and this is what he found:
"It did not appear that any drainage coming off of 37 Chuckwagon was
more than would have naturally traveled off the hillside. With this unusual
rain event we had in late January there would have been more than normal
run-off. However, there were no areas that appeared to channelize the
water from 37 Chuckwagon. There was evidence on the side of the pop out
that water was naturally seeping into the ground. There is a gap in the curb
of the driveway at 18 Poppy and a tree stump a little ways below where
water could have infiltrated the hillside. The Drainage and Grading Engineer
did not see a direct contributory flow toward down slope properties. We
suggest that all property owner review their drainage devices and
conveyances and provide maintenance where needed."
