City Engineer Raatikka reviewed the plans and specifications for the project. Mr. Raatikka stated the project is proposed to be assessed on an acre basis. Mayor Gamec asked for comments. Dick Bmues, 7101 - 149th Lane asked why the project was proposed. City Engineer Raatikka said the area was flooded 'and inaccessible when the feasibility was made earlier this spring and, therefore, the project was proposed. Mr. Buries said he didn't think the project was merited when there was a problem for only four days every three years. City Engineer Raatikka said the problem could occur every spring depending on thawing, but that it's difficult to determine how often this will occur in the future. Roger Hoversten, 15502 Limonite said he has lived there for five years and this is the first time a problem has occurred. He said proper operating culverts would solve the problem. August Peltzer said he has lived there for 41 years and this is the first time water has been this high. He said some culvert work could solve the problem. He said he didn't feel the project was necessary. PUBLIC HEARING L~ONIT~ STREET STOP~SEWFa April 8, 1980 Page 1
