<br /> . There being no further comments, Mayor Sather closed the <br /> Public Hearing at 8:18pm. <br /> Councilmember Hicks stated that he would like to follow <br /> up on the Karth Lake storm sewer issue. He asked the <br /> City Engineer Maurer to evaluate the feasibility of <br /> installing a new storm sewer drainage system that would <br /> eliminate some of the current drainage into the lake. <br /> Councilmember Hicks suggested that perhaps some of the <br /> new system be installed on Amble Drive during this <br /> reconstruction and that the remainder of the piping on <br /> Pleasant Drive be put in when the Pavement Management <br /> Plan indicates an overlay or reconstruction project is <br /> warranted for Pleasant Drive. Engineer Maurer stated <br /> that he will review the current situation and advise if a <br /> new drainage system should be installed to allow for the <br /> storm water to flow by gravity from Amble Road away from <br /> Karth Lake. <br /> Mayor Sather asked if each Councilmember wished to speak <br /> to the issue of the Public Hearing. <br /> Councilmember Probst indicated that he believes that <br /> fundamentally it is especially important to preserve the <br /> infrastructure concerns on Dunlap and Amble Drive. His <br /> concern is that if these projects are pulled out of the <br /> . street plan, this could cause further future <br /> deterioration. He believes that the City is responsible <br /> to correct the current street conditions. Standards for <br /> road construction change over time and the City's <br /> specifications also change to meet new standards. He is <br /> unable to address the Amble Road history. The concerns <br /> on Karth Lake are shared by him. Runoff to lakes is a <br /> broad issue and does not just apply to Karth Lake. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated she shares Probst's <br /> concerns. She asked the Engineer whether the standards <br /> used today are different than in 1978. The Engineer <br /> stated that the standards previously used were for <br /> blacktop and gravel base. Now another sub-base level is <br /> included in the standard. In the proposed current <br /> improvements, the standards include sub-base and <br /> replacement with sand, which allows for improved <br /> drainage. His concern is to do the best job possible. <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski stated that the loss of trees <br /> can happen any place. Regarding the pumping of water, <br /> the City needs to keep updated on this issue. She <br /> believes that the City has a systematic plan for street <br /> improvements and needs to go ahead for the sake of all of <br /> . 5 <br />
