There is presently a combination of different types of open swales that drain the properties to the north so there may be easements already dedicated to the City. The condition of the swale was improved on the properties to the north so the increased volume of runoff can be safely conveyed to the pipe under the railroad. The outfall swale has existed for more than eighteen years uninterrupted, so it probably could be proved to exist by prescriptive right. Additional offsite easements are not required unless the applicant installs a pipe to the north as was proposed at the conceptual review meeting.
