Update: all pets reunited

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Laura

Update: All the below animals were reunited with their owners.

Several animals found!

3/20: Yellow Lab or Golden Retriever, found on Wake Forest St. near Poinciana Dr. Sat 3/20. He is wearing a tan/brown collar with the name Hobbes on it. Please call Kevin to claim on 848-3336 up until 5:00 p.m. today (3/20).

3/21: We just found a tailless adorable cat in our outdoor shower. It looks (and smells) like he/she has been there a while. It has fluffy black, grey fur on its back and some legs and a white underbody and white triangle around the mouth area. It does not have a collar, and although it seems to want to hang out here, it is rather skiddish of us and our dog (who thinks she has found a new playmate). I can be reached at 617-6277.

3/22: A huge, grey, domestic rabbit was found on Oak St. Bayside. Please call Elyse – 412-0644 to claim.

List of storm water issues identified at CSBTS 1-11-10 General Meeting

Posted on March 6, 2010 by Todd Solomon

The following list of issues were discussed and identified as action items at the January 11, 2010 Cape Story by the Sea Civic Association general meeting. The Civic Association will keep you updated on the progress of these issues, so check back for posts or sign up for email updates by becoming a Civic Association Member.

Calvert Street (Bayside) needs the French drain clean out. Water backs up and never subsides. Action=Phil Cutter
First Landing, Calvert and Walke (Landside) request a backflow preventer be installed at the common outfall location in Long Creek Cape Henry subdivision. This will prevent tide surges from flooding our neighborhoods at 0-6 feet above normal tide cycles. Action=Mike Mundy
Large scale storm water improvement project (piping and pump station) discussed for streets north of Shore Drive (Bayside). No money to accomplish and may not be necessary. Action=Mike Mundy, Phil Cutter
Calvert and First Landing (Bayside), if clean out of French drain doesn’t work, maybe a pipe can be installed to connect Calvert to the pumped system on First Landing. Action=Mike Mundy, Phil Cutter
Change to City Codes to require adequate storm water drainage for new homes when they infill and wind up creating a dam next to lower lying existing homes. Action=CSBTS & Mike Mundy
Oak & Poinciana swale and ditch works during normal rain cycle, but not during tidal surge. Never did this before recent City improvements. City needs to determine if a backflow preventer will help this situation. Action=Mike Mundy
Call the following number to report all storm water issues. 385-1470 This is the best way to track our problems and allows the city to assign a ticket number to our issues. Action=CSBTS
Clean outfall at First Landing (Bayside) beach access. Sand has built up and may have blocked flow. Action=Phil Cutter
Clean out drainage ditch just east of First Landing Lane along Cape Henry Trail. Blockage where ditch ties into Cape Henry system. Action=Phil Cutter
Provide CSBTS an electronic version of the colored tidal surge level map. Action=Mike Mundy

Cape Henry Beach Replenishment Update #3

Posted on March 6, 2010 by Todd Solomon

The contractor was not able to work on Wednesday 3/3/10 (due to the Nor’easter) and the remaining sand material removal from the Maple Street Dredge disposal area is taking longer to remove than we first anticipated. We anticipate completion of the truck haul early next week and then another week to re-establish the Oak Street vehicular beach access.

The following is the third weekly update for the Cape Henry Beach truck haul replenishment contract as provided by Phill Roehrs, Water Resources Engineer with Public Works Engineering:

“As of the close of business on Monday, March 1, the contractor had hauled 36,000 cubic yards of sand to the eastern portion of Cape Henry Beach. The entire reach from Ships Watch Court, where replenishment from the navigation project terminated, to the border with First Landing State Park/Kendall Street has received sand from this effort.

Approximately 4,000 cubic yards of material remained available at Monday’s close for hauling to the beach – our revised estimate for total quantity is 40,000 cubic yards. The remaining material will be spread to the east of Oak Street. The sand quality continues to be outstanding.

Hauling did not occur this past Saturday, February 27; the contractor used the time to scour the Maple Street Dredged Material Management Area for all remaining sand, creating a final stockpile and reconfiguring the staging for efficient hauling this week. We anticipate that the haul will be completed sometime this week. The restoration of the Oak Street vehicular beach access will commence immediately following the truck haul. Work hours for the truck haul and the beach access restoration will continue as 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

No citizen concerns were received this week, and there have been no reported traffic incidents. No damage to Oak Street has been observed, however a final and detailed inspection will occur after the completion of the beach access restoration and any needed repairs will be promptly scheduled. A topographic survey of the beach has been scheduled to commence next week to document the ‘after placement’ condition.”

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know and I will be happy to assist you. Thank you.
