SECTION V <br />SUX4ARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />SUMMARY <br />The area west of Greeley has experienced, over the years, an increasing- <br />ly serious flooding condition. There is a positive need to correct the <br />existing drainage problems and at the same time to develop a reliable long - <br />range improvement program that will prevent the recurrence of the present <br />drainage problems. <br />This report has involved itself in the two -fold task of outlining a <br />course of action to (1) correct the existing drainage problems, and (2) to <br />present a comprehensive and practical long -range drainage improvement program <br />for review and acceptance by the Greeley Planning Commission. The program <br />presented in this report is economically feasible and can be constructed in <br />stages as needed. When completed, the drainage program will furnish pro- <br />tection for all properties in the drainage basin and at the same time it will <br />provide an attractive and beneficial strip park for the area. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />It is recommended that the Greeley Planning Commission adopt the drain- <br />age program outlined herein as its official "Master Drainage Program". After <br />its adoption, appropriate legislative action should be taken to insure that <br />all future development in this area conforms to the official drainage program. <br />To provide the necessary improvements in those-areas where residential <br />developments are underway or are completed, it is recommended that the <br />Greeley Planning Commission exercise its influence over the local citizens to <br />initiate this needed construction. <br />- 21 - <br />
