Charlestowne Estates I

Notes and minutes from the meeting are here.

Charlestowne Estates I: Jennifer Buddin

1. We would like an update on Sumar Street. *
   Please see the Mayor’s Remarks on the first page of the meeting notes.
2. Neighbors are maintaining their own ditches, but there is a basin where the pond is on
   Donahue Dr. to Cantey. Charleston Water Systems and Cm Tinkler are aware of this, but
   there’s sewage there. It’s possibly from someone’s sewage line. It has been featured on the
   news.
   Stormwater Department Response: Our understanding is that CPW/CWS is currently working
   through a series of projects in this area to improve sewer issues.
3. We have a lot of concerns about the scale of the project in the Catholic Diocese.
   Planning Division Response: We reached out to the Catholic Diocese, and they let us know that
   they have no immediate plans to develop this property.
4. I’d like to see the contract for 171 (SE Landscaping). Our sign got hit by a car, and we’d
   love to put some of those funds to a new sign.
   Parks Department Response: The contract includes routine trash pickup, mowing, edging, weed
   control, sidewalk and gutter cleaning, ant control. We cannot use any of this contract funding to
   replace a neighborhood sign.**

**Jennifer Note: We want to use our own neighborhood’s landscaping money to put towards our sign, not the City’s funding. Currently, we pay 1 – 2 annually to have major debris cleared from the front area by the sidewalk.
