cluded in the improvement and about 4 homes on the north dise of Woodhill. The majority were opposed to the improvement. Suggested that Mr. Meier's problem at 2776 No. Oxford could be solved at much less expense than the cost of this improvement. Mr. Parsons asked if the people through the northern part of the improvement are really going to be paying for benefits to get a storm sewer in on new county Road C since the county wouldn't complete the road until storm sewer was constructed. MR. PAUL E. BUSCH, 2764 Aglen: Presented a petition from people living on Aglen opposing the improvement. MRS. MARGE KVENILD, 2720 No. Oxford: In favor of the im- provement because their neighbor's water at the top of a hill drains onto their property. They don't have children but they' re still paying school taxes. MR. GERALD DOUGLAS, 2750 Lakeview: "I made a telephone poll from where the storm sewer is shown down to Woodhill". He said the general attitude was opposition but they did have a few questions. Asked what kind of survey was made and when, to determine where there are standing water problems in the area and erosion problems in the area. Said he recognizes there is a low area on Woodhill below Oxford and Woodhill where there is probably a problem but he thought a drainage proposal costing considerably less than $250,000 could solve the problem. Further said it's hard to believe that the people on the west side of' Lakeview can benefit where the hill falls off sharply to the east and that entire area below, encompassing the nursery, is not benefiting from the improvement. There is no significant water flow along the surface on Lakeview. Also asked when the master storm sewer plan was drawn and if it has been revised recently. Mr. Goldberg pointed out some of the severe problems in the area. He also pointed out that at the assessment hearing, if the improvement is ordered, a determination would have to be made as to whether or not the residents on Lakeview - especially the east side - actually benefit from this improvement or from a project farther east. MR. CURTIS JOHNSON, 2726 Lakeview: Said the street tends to slope a little east and most of the water runs off between his home and Mr. Douglas' home rather than down the street. At the south end of the street toward the top of the hill the water really begins to run and he didn't see where any gain would be made by extending the sewer up the street toward the north. Mr. GOldberg explained the plan and said if necessary a manhole and catch basin could be put in to pick up some of the water.
