8 MR. BARNEY RINGSRUD, 1447 West Burke: (Inaudible) MRS. ~~RY BESEMER, 1421 Burke: We are definitely in favor of the improvement on the street. MAYOR DEMOS: May I ask if the person who called me probably on the second or third day of July in 1978 when the water was waist deep on Pascal Avenue is here. FROM THE AUDIENCE: He drowned MR. GEORGE JOHNSON, 1425 West Burke: I am in favor of the project. I will say, however, that years ago Mr. Fox had a water easement between his house and his neighbor's and that has been closed since County Road B was upgraded and there's really not much of a water problem in my yard and our neighbor's yard on up the street. At one time it was a big problem but the easement has been filled in (inaudible). MR. JOHN WOOLEY, 1455 West Burke: I live on the corner of Burke and Pascal, and you're right, in 1978 the water was waist deep. It was deeper than that. In Har Mar they were swimming in the parking lot, so we need it and we need the storm sewer too and the water does come down my back yard from way up the street. I don't particularly care, but I think it needs to be carried away. MAYOR DEMOS: Anyone else who wishes to speak for or against? If not I will close the hearing. COUNCILMAN FRANKE: What happens if we don't do the storm drainage? MR. HONCHELL: Then it's my recommendation that the roadway not be paved. MAYOR DEMOS: Is there an existing easement along the rear lot lines between Burke and County Road B-2? MR. HONCHELL: Not to my knowledge. MAYOR DEMOS: The only easement that shows on these maps (inaudible) . FROM THE AUDIENCE: That was 26 years ago (inaudible) the drainage field when we got our property - before the lots were built. COUNCILMAN KEHR: Does a swale exist between those property lines? MR. HONCHELL: Not a defined swale. We're using visual obser- vations, not sight surveys but there is a noted difference in the elevations. In other words, both back yards slope to the common line. From there it appears it flows westerly to Pascal.
