MAYOR DEMOS: I might add (inaudible) not be proper for us to come up with a design for that type (inaudible) unless the project is approved. Because if we would do this now, and deny the project, we have wasted engineering time and money and we cannot charge it off, where it would be charged to the project if it were approved. MR. ROY ABRAHAMSON, 3089 North Hamline: May I add one factor from the standpoint of Hamline Avenue, again in line with Mr. Jonas's comments. The ditch in front of my property serves as a settling pond and filtration unit during these periods of heavy rains. As evidence of that, I can tell you point blank that the level of the bottom of that ditch has gradually increased over, or raised over the period of the last ten y~ars and that the water actually settles in front of the house there. It has been no serious or significant problem. I feel that it's more important to put up with this minor problem of standing water rather than contaminating a valuable asset, like Lake Josephine.

There are no easements or nothing there. MR. HONCHELL: That's part of what I alluded to before. The County seems to have some question as to what easement rights they do have on that existing pipe. MR. SCHIFSKY: My experience in Roseville, you put the sewer in about six feet deep in my street, the sanitary sewer, and I don't think they do too good of a job. I'd just as soon not have them monkey around with that ground down there. I don't think they know what they're doing. That's the truth. MR.
