<br />MR. EUGENE SCHWANKER, 2895 N. Sheldon: Wanted to know <br />if the improvement would be voted on and6 if so, by whom. Also <br />."ed what would happen to the swamp directly west of Foodtown. <br />He said there is a high point at Centennial Drive about 8 feet <br />above grade on Hamline Avenue so that the water runs east instead <br />of west. If this crest was taken off and the water woald run <br />west instead of east, and then into the swamp, he thought <br />possibly the storm sewer for that area could be eliminated. <br /> <br />MR. LESLIE BAKER, 2820 Merrill: Opposed to the improvement <br />as presently proposed because it will primarily benefit the <br />commercial property located on either side of Hamline Avenue. <br />ASked that the Council take action to amend the proposal to take <br />care of only the primary troUble spots and, therefore, cut down <br />the overall cost. <br /> <br />MR. BARRY PETERSON, 2726 Merrill: Wanted to know if the <br />pond on County Road C was pUblicly or privately owned. Said he <br />is basically opposed to the improvement because it is of no <br />benefit to him. Asked the Council to take into consideration <br />the aesthetic values of the pond. Sees no necessity for elimi- <br />nating the pond. Also felt that the commercial property would <br />benefit much more than he. Opposed to the improvement. Believes <br />the whole area is being assessed for the benefit of the Hamline <br />Shopping Center. <br /> <br />MR. W. H. KELLEY. representing the owners of the Hamline <br />Shopping Center: In favor of the improvement. <br /> <br />MR. PETER ALLAN, 1240 Josephine Road: suggested that the <br />village buy a piece of land on Hamline Avenue and make a pond out <br />of it. Also said to drill a couple of holes in the driveway to <br />get rid of most of the water. <br /> <br />MR. EUGENE SCawANKER, 2895 N. Sheldon (spoke before): <br />Opposed to the improvement. Suggested that the Council find a <br />way to relieve the situation at less cost to the present home <br />owners that are opposed to the improvement. Wanted to know what <br />the effect would be on Lake Josephine by draining the stor.m <br />water into the lake. <br /> <br />MR. RICHARD FLESHER, 2774 Huron: Has no drainage problems. <br />The water was in the area before the shopping center was con- <br />structed and he considered it bad siting on their part. Where <br />the property is now zoned for residential, the drainage would <br />make high density construction possible. Also concerned about <br />
