Discussed the possibility of <br />lowering the pond, which would cost $10,000-~15,000, with Nr. Coodrich and he <br />stated it would be difficult to assess anybody but the Bocks for such a project <br />as they are the only family in Rs11 Anderson Acres having water problems. <br />Recommending that the Bocks reconstruct their drainfield at a higher level. <br /> <br />Nrs. Bock stated that raising her septic syste~ would not resolve the proble~ <br />of wet basement wails; the house was built too deep in relation to the pond; <br />only permanent solution would be to lo~e~ pond level. <br /> <br />Nr. Hartley noted that the City has received a complaint and sumaons from <br />George Bancroft in a related matter. <br /> <br />Payor Heitman stated that this is a situation where the cost of solving a <br />problem would only benefit one property owner and the cost is too high for one <br />individual; wonder if the philosphy would be different if storm sewer taxing <br />districts were in place. Fifteen thousand would be a mas11 appendage to any <br />other storm sewer project that may come up and it would probably be more <br />pallatable for council to take action. <br /> <br />llx. Hartley stated that if storm sewer taxing districts were put into place, <br />the soonest any construction could begin would be in 1987. <br /> <br />Nfs. Bock asked if she could arranage for and pay for a permanent solution <br />herself. <br /> <br />llayor Heitman stated that Mrs, Bock would create a liability problem for <br />herself if by redirecting a water problem, she created another water problem. <br /> July 22, 198~ <br /> <br />~age 6 of 17 <br /> <br /> <br />
