City Engineer ,rankowski replied yes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman felt that each individual property owner should take care of tlneir <br />own storm water and in this case it is feasible for the trailer park property owners to dig their <br />0 \,\ql [)Olld. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that they are going through the feasibility study process, but a <br />greamr question that needs to be asked is what they are doing. Sunfish Commons was <br />constructed before the Highway #10 study was completed and now they have an alignment study <br />indicating that perhaps development should not proceed in the area.
