Biering Ln. Interim Drainage Improvements
Biering Ln. Interim Drainage Improvements
The residents of the Oakridge Pointe Neighborhood (a Planned Unit Development, or PUD) located on Brae Ridge Dr and backing up to Biering Road are experiencing nuisance flooding from Biering Road. The resident at 8842 Brae Ridge Dr has experienced flooding in their home. Following the completion of a feasibility study completed in December 2021, it was determined that the original plan to divert flows towards Bandera Rd. would create adverse impacts. An alternative solution of constructing a concrete channel within the PUD is the only viable solution. This interim solution will create roadside swales, a 100’ storm drain, an earthen berm to help in conveyance, and driveway approaches, as needed, to allow conveyance of stormwater along Biering Road to an outfall point.
In March 2022, the City Attorney’s Office advised Public Works not to construct the channel within the limits of the PUD as the City has no jurisdiction, no responsibility, and it could be perceived as misappropriation of funds since the project will only benefit the PUD and not the general public. Public Works will complete design for the project and will contribute to construction only in the public right of way, and only after improvements are made inside the neighborhood. As of September 2022, Oakridge Pointe is to determine if the PUD can fund the drainage improvements in the neighborhood.
