<br /> 71-176 "At its last meeting, City Council received a report from William J. O'Brien,
<br />Jr., Assistant City Attorney, relative to ownership of various courtyards in Douglas Park.
<br />Determination had been made that these courtyards are owned by the City of Portsmouth. I
<br />was requested to make a report to the Council on the cost of making repairs to these courts.
<br />
<br /> The following cost estimates are for curbs, gutters, drainage and street improvement.
<br />These estimates were made by using preliminary drawings on file in the Department of Engineerzn~
<br />Exact cost can only be determined by making field surveys and developing working drawings.
<br />Field surveys may determine that some of these areas cannot be curbed and guttered because
<br />of an inadequate grade or lack of storm drains. Estimates for the five courts are as follow :
<br />
<br /> (1) Two courts west of Grove Street between Carver
<br /> Circle and Interstate 264
<br />
<br /> (2) Calvin Street south of Shelby Street
<br />
<br /> (3) One court at the east end of Choate
<br /> Street
<br />
<br />(4) One court at the west end of Choate
<br /> Street
<br />
<br />The only drainage possible for the last two courts is
<br />
<br />$6,332.00
<br />
<br />$S,063.00
<br />
<br />$4,345.00
<br />
<br />$3,393.00
<br />an outfall
<br />
<br />to Interstate 264.
<br />
<br />Permission would have to be obtained to drain these areas to the Interstate 264 ditch system
<br />Easements would have to be obtained from certain property owners to reach this ditch system.
<br />I would also like to point out that Choate Street, between the two courts, is not curbed.
<br />
<br /> Of the five courts, two have been paved in the past and the surfaces of these two
<br />courts are in fair condition. The three unpaved courts could be improved with a double
<br />surface treatment. These courts have a minimum stone base sufficient to take a surface
<br />treatment. Cost to improve the courts by this method would be approximately $1,200.00.
<br />These courts could be surface-treated within the next few weeks."
