<br /> areas, He inquired whether a road around the south side of Round Lake is in the City's plans for

<br /> on this property, to duplicate the existing access, from the end of the relocated Fourteenth Street tJ

<br /> that the site drains to the west, along Round Lake Road,
<br /> Mr, Winiecki inquired if snow and sand would be plowed to the front of the lot. Mr. Ringwald I
<br /> stated the principal snow piling area would be to the south,
<br /> Mr. Winiecki reiterated his feeling that the building was too close to the lake, and the parking lot I
<br /> too close to the lake for proper drainage to take place, Mayor Probst stated if a drainage problem
<br /> arises, it would be dealt with by the City, --
