MR. HONCHELL: Yes. If the project is not ordered, I don't know how I could do that, because I have no project to do the work on. MR. THOMAS RICKER, 2736 Fernwood: Mr. Honchell, I don't see how it can be static water pressure when the drainage was blocked and you created a ponding condition there. We were at this before that construction . MAYOR DEMOS: You'll have to give your name and address. You'll have to come to the microphone. The hearing is closed. I will allow you to speak, but the hearing is closed and no one speaks after him. MR. RICKER, 2736 Fernwood: There were never any drainage problems until they allowed construction to be done two doors down, which brought the drainage. Every time it rains we haveaponding condition up there. ~~en they first started digging for that, we all came up here and talked about this and they told us, and swore up and down, that the Village could not let the ponding condition happen, or they would take care of it. This has been going on for years, we've peen up here many times, and nobody has done a thing about it. They've come out and looked at it and that's all they do. I'm sure you know what the problem is because we've been up here many times. MAYOR DEMOS: I would like to say that I'm inclined to be- lieve that it would be static water pressure because I used to live at the corner of Griggs and Woodhill and I used to see Fernwood Avenue as nothing but a pond. The whole east side of the street was a pond. When you look at something out o,f your kitchen window for 10 or 12 years, you kind of know what's there. MR. FRED QUAAS, 2843 Fernwood: I know this has been closed, but I would like to ask Gary Wheaton, just as a matter of pro- cedure, when he acquired the petition - were these all signed petitions? Can you present those? Are they here? MR. WHEATON; The City has them. COUNCILMAN KEHR: I would like to ask the gentleman - I didn't get his name - but I believe he lives at 2799 Fernwood (inaudible) I understood you to say back yard. How deep does that water get? MR. KENNETH KREDOVSKI, 2799 Fernwood: In the spring thaw? Over a foot. I have had to make a trench between my house and Mrs. Kath's house to run the water off. It comes down through Collins's, Schwartz's, and then out the back of Merrill. It normally washes the terrace flower beds right out. COUNCILMAN KEHR: I would like to direct another question to Mr. Honchell. If we approve this, Mr. Honchell, will you give these people the assurance that you will do everything humanly possible to go out and see that the drain fields, the catch basins, whatever, will drain out into the storm sewer? Just an ordinary storm sewer back there isn't going to do the job, I don't think.
