MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 28, 1985 PAGE 3 RESOLUTION R-85-49 A RESOLUTION MODIFYING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT N0. 1 WITHIN DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT N0. 1 Acting Mayor Hard present background information on the Ford Street right-of-way drainage problem and requested input from those in attendance. 10 "! RESOLUTION R-85-49 FORD STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY DRAINAGE DISCUSSION Robert Dunlop, 2137 Folwell, stated that in the past two years he has observed two flash floods with water 2-1/2 feet deep blocking access to ROBERT DUNLOP, the street. In both instances he was unable to get out to go to 2137 FOLWELL the airport. He then commented on the previous wash out and basement flooding, and felt that with the low bid Council should consider installing the larger Strom sewer. Marcel Richter, 2132 Folwell, wishes to reinforce his statements MARCEL at an earlier meeting that now is the time to do the entire project RICHTER, with the 1666 Coffman project. He then asked if it would be necessary 2132 to remove trees, to which Engineer Schunicht replied that three trees FOLWELL would be lost from the eight-of-way, two box elders and one pine, but the others could be saved. Richard Martin, 2135 West Hoyt, said he has watched the sewer on Hoyt RICHARD MARTIN, for 15 years and was not entirely convinced that the engineering 2135 WEST proposed would solve the problem as catch basin at the bottom of HOYT the hill on Hoyt collects a great amount of run-off, fills with debris, and then backs up Ford St. to Folwell. He felt nothing could be done to prevent the Hoyt basin from collecting debris due to its location. Engineer Schunicht explained that the new catch basin castings are more self cleaning due to the fact that they have longer openings to carry off some of the debris. Diane Van Tasell, 2121 Folwell, indicated she would oppose the storm DIANE VAN sewer even if there were no assessments, as her main concern was for TASELL, 2121 the trees that must be removed if the project goes forward. She FOLWELL also felt the trees were needed to screen the residences from 1666 Coffman. She asked that Council not implement phase three to save the trees and taxpayer's money. Steve Eggiman, 2121 Folwell, commented on action taken by Council at STEVE the former meeting (to do phases one and two) and that he felt that EGGIMAN, made sense. He asked that Council do the "small fix" now and, if 2121 FOLWELL necessary, the storm sewer at a later date since the Mayor had indicated that the City does sewer projects every year and the enlargement of the storm sewer could be included in another project. Mr. Eggiman stated that there have been hard rains and no problem, and he felt there was not health or safety problem. Veryl Andre, 2140 Folwell, felt she had presented her opinion in her VERYL ANDRE, first letter and wanted Council to know she had not changed her 2140 FOLWELL stand, she desires a solution to her flooding problem. She inquired about the cost if phase three is done later.
