HomeMy WebLinkAboutAbbe Road (28) Note to File: Drainage Abbe Road and Benjamin Way 5/5/2010
Overview
Residents on Benjamin way(#39,45,46)had expressed concerns about the drainage on
their property; expressing a position that they believed the town should be responsible to
fix the drainage so as to mitigate any flow onto their properties'.
I have reviewed the files, 1956 and 2009 Aerial flights, and land records regarding the
drainage in the vicinity of#401 and#411 Abbe Road and the drainage behind/along#
39,45,46 Benjamin Way. The overland drainage patterns from the east of Abbe Road
appear to have remained fairly constant, draining through a culvert under Abbe Road
through to a drainage swale between#401 and#411 Abbe Road . This swale continues
down(much as it did in 1956 prior to the development of Benjamin Way in circa 1982)
to a drainage basin behind#46 Benjamin Way. This drainage basin is then connected to
a catch basin located between#39 and#45 Benjamin Way. This catch basin then
discharges to a manhole located in the cul-de-sac of Benjamin Way. There is no evidence
of any easement for the drainage basin on#46 Benjamin Way or the for the pipe from
this drainage basin as it travels along#46 and#45. There is a DROW shown on the
subdivision map along the catch basin and pipe for these two properties. This DROW
appears to be for the two lots and there is no evidence suggesting that it was to be
conveyed to the town.
Conclusion
I do not believe that the town has responsibility for the drainage system on#39, #45 or
#46 Benjamin Way. From research of the land records, subdivision files, and aerial
mapping the system was designed and constructed as a private drainage system and has
been in place for about 27 years. These types of private drainage systems are not
uncommon .I believe that as with all systems, attention to the maintenance of the
drainage basins and the associated pipes remains key to mitigating potential problems.

Subject: Abbe Rd
Sir,
| have reviewed the data regarding Abbe Rd and found the following:
1. Accident history shows two accidents in the area in question since 2OO1. The most recent was infact
due to speed and the resulting control loss. The other was in2DO1 and was minor in nature; not
apparently related tospeed.
2. Traffic counters were placed Thursday thru Sunday of last week in in order to capture both workday
and weekend traffic pmttorme. Total time for the count was 57hours. Overall average speed for
northbound was 29 mph and for aouthbVundO3mph. Posted limit ie3Dmph.
3. Gouthbound.there were 20 vehicles measured ad4G mph and above. Two were found between 0730
and 0745 and three between 1130 and 1200. Both of these groups were on the Friday. Other than that,
there was no pattern to the vehic|o travelling over the limit. Given that the count was for 57 hours, 2O
vehicles does not seem toboa developing pattern. VVm will try to get radar to the area for the AK8 "rueh"
for a visibility factor.
4. Northbound, there were 8 vehicles measured over 46 mph in the 57 hours period. Ae you could
imagine,there was nm significant pattern.
I did not find any significant group pattern or time of day that one would expect if there were an ongoing
problem of cars attennUngto "get air"and the like. The significant speeders, over 45 mph, are few and far
between and would prove troublesome toapprehend. The roadway topography does pose enattractive
nuisance, but it does not appear tobea common area for groups ofdrivers. | do not think that speed
trailer placement woiuld be an option, as that may serve to compound the nuisance. VVe can attempt to
have district cars run the area more frequently in an attempt to increase presence. Finally, the blind spots
in both directions caused by the rise combined with the narrow roadway and wooded curbside areas does
make this an area where walking along the curb|inewould not be advisable.
Respectfully

Dear Steve:
On May 16, 1996, I made an inspection on Abbe Road in South Windsor. Two and one-half weeks ago
Dan from State Line Construction told me that he would replace bituminous berming within one to two
weeks. Based on my inspection, this has not been done.
The following areas remain to be addressed:
• 23 Lf. berming in front of hydrant across from 350 Abbe Road remains,to be replaced.
• 10 Lf. bituminous berming across from property line between 350&360 Abbe Road remains to be
replaced.
• 85 Lf. bituminous berming 100 to 185 ft. south of CB across from 350 Abbe Road remains to be
replaced.
In addition to the bituminous berming, the area behind the berming is to be loamed and seeded and to
such grade as to prevent any water overtopping the bituminous berming and shoulder area.
We have received several complaints from Mr. George Gilson of 373 Abbe Road concerning the driveway
apron that was placed as part of the water main project. Mr.Jerry Iazzetta,Town Engineer, has
investigated and found that the apron was not correctly installed. It will not prevent road stormwater
from running down the driveway and onto Mr. Gilson's property. I understand that Mr. Iazzetta has tried
unsuccessfully to reach you by telephone.
All of these items must be addressed satisfactorily by June 171998. If they are not, I will be
recommending that the issuance of permits to Connecticut Water Company be reviewed and appropriate
actions taken.
Please call me at 644-2511, Extension 257 to advise as to your schedule for these repairs.
Very truly yours,

RE: ABBE ROAD CULVERT REVIEW
Dear Mr. Moran.-
This proposal by the Town isn't much different than the _.Deming.-_.µ
Street or the Sand Hill Road projects done recently. - The-'-
existing culvert has been undermined and the replacement _ is -
substantially the same size and will have no effect on the water--"-
course. Assuming there are no complications, the box could ` be in
place and functioning in a couple of days .
The Town has received an exemption from the Department of
Environmental Protection of the Water Diversion Policy Act. We
also have a verbal approval from the Army Corps, correspondence
verifying this should be arriving soon. The Town sent out '
certified letters to the abutters .
From a reviewing standpoint, the plans do not indicate the
seeding or the timing associated; nor the disposition of the
sedimentation pool.

Re ;- 469 Abby Road, South Windsor -
Bear Mrs. Jaaworski:
Confirming our telephone coxversaati.ox of last week on the subject my original
visual l observations of the property - made over a period of time - showed most of
the signs indicative of septic system failure. Coasequextly, on April 30th I -
turned the matter over to our local Director of Health who issued a x Order to Abate
with a recommexdaation for conxection to the sewer system within: thirty (30) days.
This Order was issued on May 1st and received the following day.
As a result of the Order Mrs. Krusixs3ki coxtacted me on the 13th of May, and
aaarraxgements were made for more extexsive observations - xam--ly, dye testing.
These tests were performed or. occasions of varied weather coxditions. and water use..
On the 16th of Maly there was a steady, soaking raix during the entire test; anal on
the 19th testixg was performed immediately after Mrs. Krusixski had doze at least
two (2) to&ds of laundry. In neither ixstoxce did eAy dye surface -- indicating that
my original investigations and findings were inaccurate and that the Krusixskias'
septic field is in good working order. Accordingly, I have written them a letter
rullifyirig the May 1st Order. I also askad that they accept.my apology for Any .
trouble ax:d incon-veniexce this matter has caused .them.
