<br />COUNCIh~ KEHR: My question is this - instead of filling <br />that all the way up there as far as you're going, why not take <br />that knoll out of there and leave that? Tnat will give you <br />considerable additional water acre storage area. <br /> <br />MR. HONCBELL: The reason for not doing that is because <br />if this was 888 normally, which we would set our overflow <br />structure at - or something approximately that - that would <br />mean that there would be six inches to a foot of water in this <br />area, which will fluctuate with the rain and fluctuate with the <br />sunshine, which is generally unsightly, and the park felt it <br />would be more maintainable and useableif it was kept in a <br />quasi-dry condition until the major rains carne and to keep all <br />that area above 888 for drainage storage, which. is a critical <br />area - everything above 888. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KERR: My suggestion is basically to cut the <br />knoll out of there and put that more towards Victoria. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: This knoll? <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: No - right there between . . <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: Here? <br /> <br />COUNCILl'1AN KEHR: Yes. Cut that down and bring that up <br />a little bit and that will give you considerable more footage <br />of water ,that you can store in there and it will probably <br />eliminate - help eliminate some of the flooding during the <br />crucial rains. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: I understand what youlre saying. This is <br />out of proportion and perspective, I guess, is the best way to <br />react to you. Although it may show several feet of undulation <br />in places, there really aren't storage areas above 888 at <br />least, which is what we worry about. Anything below 888 we <br />assume is going to be wet because we're holding at 888. So <br />we're trying to keep all that area above 888. I think I hear <br />what you're saying - all the more holes there are is all the <br />more holding area. <br /> <br />COUNCILMAN KEHR: That's basically true, but if you move <br />that up a little bit - either that or this is a little out of <br />proportion - out of scale - as you have drawn it there. I <br />view that as quite a few feet of storage area that you can <br />acquire by moving that knoll over and banking it up there. <br />You'll lose a little bit on your park area there, but I don't <br />think that would be too crucial. <br /> <br />MR. HONCHELL: That's one of the alternatives we'll study <br />further, if there is a further. <br /> <br />MAYOR DEMOS: But it must be deep enough so that it's <br />not a mosquito bed. <br /> <br />12 <br />
