<br />MR. REILING: The reason is Rice Creek watershed and <br />DNR. Those ~re the two reasons. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN CURLEY: Are you against this project? <br /> <br />MR. REILING: No, I proposed for it. How could I be <br />against it? The only thing 11m against are the two things I <br />stated. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: To partly answer your question, Mr. Reiling# <br />obviously the assessments would be the same either way - <br />$295 a lot, so as far as direct assessments - 11m not saying <br />direct cost of the project, but assessments, would be the same <br />because thatls a set policy as~uming the costs do reach that <br />total. The second is we did review going directly to the lake <br />by taking it north to the lake ?nd pumping it over, much in <br />the same line you discussed. We found there were some grade <br />problems plus the problem of hoping to keep as much water away <br />from Lake Owasso as we could. This is one of 'he instances <br />where welre not in the Rice Creek Wctershed, but (inaudible) <br />DNR. <br /> <br />MR. REILING: DNR is after you, I can tell you that. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: We did review and look at the alternatives. <br />We had some back yard grade problems where we would have had to <br />go much deeper than the existing manner and it wouldn't ~ork <br />well with the roads (inaudible). <br /> <br />MR. REILING: If we didn't have a pond, we would be <br />assessed $295 anyway, you said, because the pond (inaUdible). <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: The assessment is a flat $295 per lot. <br /> <br />MR. REILING: If theylre assessed (inaudible), are you <br />going to stick it in your pocket? <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: The ~ssessments won't come that high <br />with or without the pond. <br /> <br />MR. REILING: Some go on general taxes. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: Do you know what we'd have to do if we did <br />what you want - weld probably get some of your land on the <br />other side for holding ponds. <br /> <br />-15- <br />
