6 MR. HONCHELL: We will have that checked. MR. JOSEPH MERTESDORF , 2599 North Lexington: I see I'm going to be assessed for some of that too. MR. HONCHELL: 2599? Yes. Part of your property, our investigations show, drains to the west and reaches the pond. MR. the west. MERTESDORFI don't think there's much draining to Most of it is draining the other direction - I mean east. MR. HONCHELL: When Mr. Kluzar did put his drainage in that area, it's at least my recollection that from that area where the line is generally it does drain toward the pond. We will be happy to, if the project proceeds, when we get into the field in the summer we will verify just which way it does run. If it doesn't run to the pond you wouldn't be contributing water and shouldn't be assessed. MR. MERTESDORF (Inaudible) and if you would run into the other pond (inaudible) lot of times they get dry and if they get soaked for two or three days a lot of water will be absorbed and naturally if you get a heavy rain (inaudible). I think I have seen as much in Central Park as I ever saw in my life. I saw it come up from the diamond park in the front when it went clear across County Road C so there was a tremendous amount of water around. I don't think we will see it that way often. HR. HONCHELL: I hope not. And again, I would say those owners that are adjacent to that easterly pond, if you wish to talk to your neighbors and contact us we would be very happy to consider at least diverting that water into that pond from the overflow. The thing to remember is when the overflow is actually getting water out of it is probably when the other one will probably have a lot of water, but I guess that's a decision that I guess we're happy to let the home owners be a party to. FROM THE AUDIENCE: There is a consideration (inaudible) must be accepted by the overflow that-is presently installed, otherwise it will be running down Oakcrest to Central Park so what they consider maximum rainfall or flood conditions, you might say, that catch basin would have to accept that. If you didn't - if you by-passed that present catch basin and went directly into that storm sewer that goes along the east side of the pord or the back lots - back of the lots on Dunlap Street, you'd have to make another entrance into the storm sewer and, by the way, how big is that storm sewer there? MR. HONCHELL: The one that continues on to the east? FROM THE AUDIENCE: It goes across the back end of the Dunlap lots. Probably isn't too big. It was installed before I bought the property.
