Commissioner I~eemer questioned whether they can run drainage onto private property. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski Stated it was his belief that they could, since it presently occurs. <br /> <br />Mr. McCarty noted that they based this drainage plan on conversations held with the Water <br />District. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski i~nquired whether the impervious water will be intercepted, and Mr. McCarty <br />replied that it will be. Therefore, Mr. Jankowski determined that the only drainage to the area will <br />be what is currently draining there. <br /> <br />Roger Borchard, ~715 148th Lane N.W. - stated that he is already experiencing drainage problems <br />on his property aod is concerned that the expansion of the school might intensify those problems. <br /> <br />Mr. McCarty stated he is willing to address Mr. Borchard's concerns and work with the City <br />Engineer on a drainage plan, which may include a 3-4 foot berm in the low area. <br /> <br />Mr. Borchard feltithat a berm would be sufficient. <br /> <br />Mr. McCarty also advised that it is their intention to curb the parldng area. <br /> <br />Commissioner De~mer stated he would like to see street lighting at the intersections. He suggested <br />two new streets lights, one at each entrance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thorud inquired about the drainage area in the rear of the school site, whether there <br />is standing water. <br /> <br />1~.
