He spoke for the applicant who could not be at <br />the meeting. He noted residents have been there 18 years, and they have not experienced this <br />before. He indicated his only request at this time is to have the Council review the situation. He <br />asked the Council to consider whether there might be a long-term solution. He explained the <br />residents had two pumps running 24 hours a day for two weeks. There was very little progress. <br />Councilmember Wise suggested the structure on Highway 47 mentioned in the staff report might <br />have been installed incorrectly. <br />City Engineer Himmer replied staff did review that structure. He said they are waiting for calls <br />back from agencies. He said it is a protected wetland, and the elevation cannot be changed. <br />City Engineer Himmer noted there is a petition with 29 signatures from 28 properties. The <br />signatures have been verified as accurate. He noted staff would look at the water flow, storm <br />sewer and evaluate the water shed. <br />City Council / August 23, 2011 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
