MR. HUSSEIN SOUD, 924 Grandview: west of us. (Inaudible) some areas MR. HONCHELL: It m sorry, I thought - 1 et 's go back to the map. If you look at the map, you'll see some red lines running from County Road B-2 along Nancy Place to the intersection of Grandview. There's a whole cluster of catch basins proposed at that intersection to pick up the water at the intersection and try and get that water before it wanders, meanders and runs down toward B-2, all the while causing a little more water each rain to get under the road. That's your roadway, it's the access to your home. The dryer we can keep that area by collecting the water as soon as possible, the better off those roadways are going to be. I'm not saying your roadway is falling apart today - I'm just saying that this will lengthen the amount of time that roadway will be there to serve you before it has to have repaving occur or major maintenance. V~YOR DEMOS: Anyone else on the storm drainage project? MR. DENNIS ABBOTT, 1024 Transit: I'd like to pick up on Mayor Demos's question to Mr. Honchell - do Churchill and Oxford have that much more water running down than Aglen or are Churchill and Oxford proposed for storm sewer also? ( , MR. HONCHELL: Actually, Churchill, Oxford and Chatsworth have markedly less water running down to Brooks than Aglen does. As an example, if you look at Chatsworth - Chatsworth is almost on the top of a hill - the corner of Chatsworth and Transit. Water runs easterly to Brooks, it runs westerly toward Aglen and it runs northerly to Brooks again - Brooks curves around. You're really getting about one block of water that is all that's coming down there versus Aglen which is getting the Transit block on both sides and the Oxford block further up, plus its own water. Somewhat the same occurs on Oxford and on Churchill. We're not saying there's no water - there certainly is water running down these streets. Trying to keep the' project as low as possible, trying to trade off costs versus problems - we felt that by putting some special structures down at the bottom of each of those streets - with the magni- tude of water that we calculate comes there ~ we could ade- quately catch the water at that point. Nothing is perfect. This is just the best we could do at trading off, problems. MR. JOHN LAUFFER, 2468 Aglen: I'm totally in favor of this project and trying to get off the river that goes by my driveway. I also want to support the other two measures - the street improvement and the street improvement on Aglen - since it would cost, according to the engineer, about half as much to tear up the storm sewer and put it down as it would,be to do the whole job properly and put in a new ~treet on Aglen. The other factor of this whole thing is - and I want to encour- age everyone - on the storm sewer section it's $400, on our street we're picking up (inaudible) probably cost another $600. I know from being in real estate sales that the street 22
