<br />4 <br /> <br />unforeseen expense because I'm living on my Social Security and <br />a small company pension. <br /> <br />MR. ELWYN OLSON, 2122 Fairways Lane: About 25 years ago there <br />was a French well, or dry well, put into that low area on that <br />lot (inaudible). Is there anything illegal about those wells? <br />I don't know why that couldn't be done because we have had water <br />as much as three or four feet sit there and as soon as it thaws <br />out it will go down in a matter of a couple of hours. <br /> <br />~AYOR DEMOS: On your lot? <br /> <br />MR. OLSON: On that lot - before the present owner owned <br />it. It's probably not on the lowest part of the lot (inaudible) <br />if they could put pipes down and even put (inaudible) it would be <br />better than a storm sewer. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN FRANKE: If there's always been water there, <br />why did we issue a building permit. <br /> <br />MR. OLSON: (inaudible) The house was built two years ago <br />on that lot. The home shouldn't have been built on that lot. <br />They had to put a sub, sub basement in that house. The house <br />was built the summer before last. You wouldn't believe whoever <br />issued that permit. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: There's nothing wrong about issuing a <br />permit, but the building inspector should never (inaudible). <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: If there's no one here in favor, why don't <br />we just close the hearing. <br /> <br />MR. VINCENT PEARSON, 2131 Fairways Lane: If this hearing <br />is closed, what's to say it won't come up again? <br /> <br />~~YOR DEMOS: When we close it tonight, we're not sealing <br />it forever. (inaudible) <br /> <br />MR. PEARSON: I think it's pretty much of a unanimous <br />opinion of the people that have lived in that area for any <br />length of time (inaudible) it was understood by everyone in the <br />neighborhood that that was to remain the ponding area with a <br />dry well until about two years ago when they started to live <br />on it. Something happened that changed the concept of a ponding <br />area by some finagling or something and it was changed. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: We were legally told we had to issue a permit. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: Was it built by a developer and sold? <br /> <br />FROM THE AUDIENCE: I have another question. The north <br />limits of the heavy black line, why was that not continued over <br />west of County Road B until it intersected the north/south line <br />of the drainage area? There's a pothole in that corner which <br />drains across down toward Low Area 2. The water overflows <br />
