Christensen at 944 Transit, by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Smith at 895 Transit, by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Slettedahl at 885 Transit, and by Greg Revering at 912 Transit. They have signed a petition favoring the storm sewer project. We also have a letter from Mr. Christensen, who signed the petition, indicating his support for the project but voicing concern that he is going to be assessed the same amount for his storm sewer as those property owners who are receiving the street and the ~torrn sewer. I'm not sure whether Mr. Christensen is here and whether or not he realizes that that was an M.S.A. street and therefore would not be assessed. We also have a letter from Mr. and Mrs. James Michaels indicating that they also favor the improvement. MAYOR DEMOS: The hearing is open. MR. ARTHUR HOLMBERG, 985 West County Road B-2: I'm up on top of a hill and all the water that comes off of the street goes back on my property and then it goes down into the ground. There's nothing but 60 feet of sand underneath there. (In- audible) in twenty minutes all the water goes down. I don't have any run-off. j"--- \' '-- MR. KEITH SCHOTTLER, 1046 West County Road B-2: There are a couple of questions I would like to ask at this time. Especially on the county road, it's been known for some time that the county is going to repair that or do something with it - either widen it or what - but wouldn't this be just a duplication of what work they would be doing eventually? Also, at Lot 10, westward, those county ditches that we've had for years - they've been filled up by the property owners. When you say that the water will flow to the west - it's impossible to get as far as Lot 10 and that's where it stops. MAYOR DEMOS: Lot 10 - where do you mean? On the south side of B';"2? MR. SCHOTTLER: Right. From that point on the ditches have all been filled in by the property owners. So how can the water flow past Lot 10 down west to Lexington, which the gentleman has stated? Why not fill in all the ditches and carry the water along the curbing? du_ \.',:::":' MR. HONCHELL: The first question, as I understood it~ was why not do this improvement at the time county is going to be improving'B-2. From my knowledge at least, in the County's five year plan, it's not included as a specific project during that time frame. They do have it as a proposed project, with- out a date as far as I know. So we're not talking about a year or two years or something - why not wait that period - it's an unknown time frame as to when they're going to do theirs. As far as duplication, they would be doing the same thing we're doing - that's correct. They would be constructing a storm sewer facility to take the water that comes along the road and provide quantities for what comes off the front yards to the road. They would expect the City to in turn pay that 14
