Lambros Drainaqe Ditch Christoffersen referred Council to his lethr of June 9,1975, and reported Thai" he a-nd Mayor Crepeau rr.et on Hasite to discuss possib~e resolution of the problem. Christoffersen referred Council to the sellelal al-rernatlves posed to the Council, prior to Counci 1'5 approval of this project; stating that the leval of the lake is the reason hi the existing flooding - not the result of drainage from the pipe tc the ditch. Christoffersen stated that unless the property is fl I led cr both sides of the ditch, additional planking wi II not rectify the siluation; this Is a natura! drainway to Lak~ Johanna. Mr. Lambros countered that I -r- i-he di tch hac, been constructed at 880, instead of 875, the problem would be nsolved. In disGussion, Christo-ffersen said that adeitional fi II and sod can be placed above the planking, but unles~ a lower 18k~level- 15 maintained, property wi! I continue to fl,ad. It \fas noted the reason for the ditch project was to stop er:sion and to delineate the channel, not to fl II and raise the prop,rty elevation. Lambros proposed (6sti~wting cost (about $1,500), that he IIOU! d at $1,(00) It He sai<:i about pay for the~dditlonal planking Village waul: pay costs of fillil)g 1/3 ofth is' roperty Is under water. , After discussion, Councl I concurred thBt un1il the level of the lake Is determined, further steps to resolve Inoivldual drainage problems would be to no avai I. Mr. Lambros was encc'raged to attend the Rice Creek WatershBd meeting at the Cent.rvi lie ~chool on June 21st and to_advise them of his prOblem. , James r~~e - Drainage Problem Mr. McNamee read his letter of June 3, 1975, asking that surface drainage water be redirected to prevent Its 3ntry onto his recently purchased property at the southwest corner ;f Siems Court and Johanna Blvd. McNamee circulated photograp's depictIng the loss of soil from his property and asked that corre;tiv6 measures be taken. . In discussion, it was noted that this Is a 'atural dralnway to Lake Johanna; pattern has not been changed - there Is a culvert from the north side of J~hanna Blvd. which empties o.to this property, as wel I as a culvert ~nder Siems Court, into t~, northeast corner of the property. - Council concurred that this is another dral~9ge problem which Is dependent on the I ake level; be-ion, i'lny cha' Jes can be cons i dered, the ma):!mum lake levol must be dete,-mined. MeNa_ls said the water is coming off the Vi! lage streets. Chrls~offersE said that drainage is naturally through tl1i, property; culverts are not directing 2ddlt!onal water which would nJt have gone that way otherwise; it had been an open ditch. McNamee asked if a storm drain could be Instilled to drain directly into the lake. Christoffersen said that la~) level must be de~ermined first; when solving one problem, another co~ld bi created elsewhere; it may not be possible to design a draInage !ystem unless the property elevation Is raised.
