COUNCILMAN ANDERSON: Asked for what storm frequency this plan was designed. MR. SHORT said this system was designed on a five year frequency storm. The plan could be made substantially larger at more cost. Even with this design. there will be periods of temporary ponding in the streets. It's not to take care of 20 or 40 year storms. He further said he would consider anything constructed in this area of a lesser capacity to be a waste of time because at the time of improvement of the streets and at the time of the installation of intake points with good permanent streets in the area, another system would have to be constructed. MRS. LORTIS, 1947 Lake Street: Asked Mr. Short how he proposed to get the water into Walsh Lake. Also asked about extending the sewer. MR. JAMES R. BELL, member of the board of directors of Midland Hills Country Club: Opposed to the improvement. Walsh Lake cannot handle the amount of water that will be put into it in a relatively short period of time as compared to natural run off and it will flood three of their fairways. MR. JAMES MICHELS, Michels Construction Company, 2024 N. Cleveland: In favor of the improvement. Believes it would be beneficial to the whole community. This area has been a problem for years and costs of construction keep rising every year. MR. EDWARD SUCOFF, 1974 Midland Hills Road: Asked if a village could promise a storm sewer to a developer. Also asked how much the pumping station and extension would cost. He said he thought there were two issues - people who have wet basements and poor roads, and others who bought wet lands at low prices for speculative purposes and now expect the village to drain them. MR. IVAR KAULS, 2020 West County Road B: Has two unbuildable lots next to the pond because the level of the pond is not controlled. Would like to build on one of the lots and is not interested in draining the pond. Al30 commented on the litter thrown on these undeveloped, unbuild~ble lots.
