A delegation of property owners who live in the vicinity of B2 and Nancy Place appeared to request that something be done about a dangerous waterhhole which is located within the right of way of County Road "B2tr ~ Þ Mr. Carley explained that a plan had been made to correct this situation but that insufficient funds in the 1953 budget had made it impossible. The Engineer recommended that he should be author- ized by the Council to proceed with this work as soon as possible on account of the emergency nature of it. He stated that it would be necessary to purchase and install sufficient 18" diameter pipe to carry this water for approximately 300 feet at this time and that it would also be necessary to agree ~dth the owners of the adjacent property to the North, which is approximately 440 feet wide, that the water would be carried across that property in a manner which would not damage it using culvert pipe if necessary. This latter part of the work to be undertaken if and when that property is developed by the owner. Motion was made by Olson, Seconded bJr Carlson that the Council voted to concur in the Engineer's recommendations. Ayes-(3) Nayes~(O). The Engineer reported to the Council that he had been contacted by a private party who wanted to retain him to design a new plat on the so-called Bowers property lying on the North side of County Road "C" between Dale Street and Western Avenue. Mr. Carley re- minded the Council that he was not actually platting property in the Village because of his connection with the Village Council. He Suggested, however, that in this particular case he should have an understanding with the Counc:H that he was going to work out a design for this particular propert,y because it was absolutely ne - cessary that the Village interest in the drainage area located on the prope~~be completely protected. Olson made motion, seconded by Carlson that the Council agreed to authorize the Village Engineer to design this property at the ex- pense of the prospective developer. Ayes-(3) ~ayes~(O). Mr. Francis Lyon, 226 Minnesota, asked that an arc light be installed on Rice and Minnesota. Mr. Carley suggested that since that is a state highway, he should call the state highway on that problem. Mr. Lyon also stated that Minnesota Street, which is a dead end street, at Rice and Dale, is a regular speedway for motorists. He said that many serious accidents have occurred t hel'e and children are constantly in danger. He suggested that Mr. Lyons get a petition signed by the majority of the people living on that street, and bring it in, which in turn would be taken up a.t the next meeting. This would limit the speed to 30 miles an hour. 453 Coarse Sand Dangerous Water Hole New Plat- Bowers Property Speed Limit
