Sean Scully, City Manager, provided a brief background on the project in which the City of Lincoln developed a volumetric retention basin on its property at Lakeview Farms that is capable of retaining 3,200 acre-feet of storm water during major storm events in order to reduce drainage impacts of the Cross Canal in Sutter County.

In return the City will provide Cristina Companies – Athens, LLC with 8.50 acre-feet of volumetric retention capacity upon substantial completion of Phase 1 of Lakeview Farms.
Vin Cay, City Engineer, stated that, Lakeview Farms is the primary improvement of our storm drainage impact fee program. It’s the singular project that’s paid for by the PFE. At this point in time, we are funded to build phase 1 of the project, as additional development occurs, we will be able to build out Phase 2 & 3.
