across these lots. In addition to those three lots, you would utilize the area that Williams Brothers pipeline owns. Those pipelines would be lowered and a new pond constructed generally in a rectagular configuration. I would like to point out, by doing this it necessitated taking this 96 inch oval pipe that exists, taking it out and using those pieces of pipe to reconstruct a new pipe line on a diagonal. It would run from the SE corner to the NW corner. In doing that, predominantly the pond would then be south of that pipe on the city lots and the Williams Brothers property. In extreme rainfall conditions, for a very short time the water would then also be located in the extreme northeasterly corner of the City property. In doing this the shopping center land would now be free for development. It would necessitate the shopping center to construct a retainer wall along the south boundary of the bond in order to retain the full usage of the property that they have. Otherwise it would be taken up in sloping. It is expected that the pond would have a fence around it. It also is expected that the pond would be landscaped to screen and beautify the area. Also there would be pickup facilities located just outside the pond on the edge of the private property to the southwest and to the southeast. It would also necessitate getting an easement across a corner of the lot at 1728 Oakcrest. Due to the fact that it will not be necessary to pay for the extra easement, it would compensate for the cost of relocation of the pipe. We find this improvement to be feasible and would recommend it to the Council. The only real condition, I guesss, is that we are in communication with the William Brothers, and we believe we will be able to get that easement. In the event, that it becomes impossible or imprac- tical from a cost standpoint, it may be necessary to take a small amount to to replace some of the easement land that we've used there. At this point, it does not look like it would be necessary, based on our conversations with Williams Brothers. The people from the shopping center to the southwest also have agreed not only to build a retaining wall but to maintain the pond and all of the other boundary areas for uniformity of main- tenance and appearance. I would be happy to answer any questions. DEMOS: Does the council has any questions or comments? JOHNSON: Has this been agreed on, by all the members? HONCHELL: This has been agreed to by everyone. Agreed to is probably not the right word. This has been discussed with those who have an immediate impact, such as the neighbors which the pond will corne the closest to. It has been agreed to by the shopping center to the southwest. The Shopping center to the southeast, to my knowledge based on discussions, has no objections to it. They were happy with the last plan as well. They say we do have to negotiate an easement over that parcel. I don't know about the individuals in the room tonight, they can speak for themselves, but to my knowledge there is no special problem with doing it, because we would also be doing some work in the backyards to correct some existing drainage problems already there.
