SPECIAL HEARING, PIIA,RCH 2~t, 1958, RE. S~C}ItM SEATER If:4PROVIIUIENT #l, ~~3 Continued. PJir. K. A. Mousseau, 1510 Crawford said he lived on the low side of the hill and has had water to contend with for 18 years, and thinks he could stand another 15 years of it. He said he cannot afford any more taxes. Prlr. 1~. Vr. Helms, 1789 Asbury, said he doesn't think people living on high ground have any responsibility for people living on low ground, but thinks we need a storm sewer, and doesn't see why the business area doesn't pay a larger percentage. '+~r. l~eatherston, 1867 Simpson, pointed out that if we assess Areas A and B for the Storm Sewer Improvement #l, the runs would be short and the lots small in comparison, for instance, to Area C where the runs would be long and the lots are large. In Area C, evidently, the cost would be well over $107.00 a lot. =.~Ir. L. A. i,~eyer asked. if this project had been started by a petition of any of the residents or if it eras being done at the instigation of the Council. P~4r. Theo. r~,Iontgomery asked how soon the money would have to be raised and if it would be a legal bonding issue. "ylr, W. T+V'. Russell, 150l~ Crawford, said he wasn't for it or against it, but as far as determining who were the benefitting parties, he thought anyone who used the street was a benefitted party. tdr. A. 3. Kinney, 1759 :Arona, said he couldn't help but feel that the pro- posed storm sewer is too costly. He thought a little cut on Crawford might permit the water to run both ways and run into the sewer. i~dr. 4'ueatherston, 1867 Simpson, asked if the fact that the other drainage areas weren't being brought up for discussion at this time indicated they hadn't been studied. ?~~Ir. C.-Alexander, 1866 Arona, asked if anybody knew if there was an easement for the storm sewer. I~ir. Juleen, 1530 VJ. Larpenteur, said that a lot had been said about the business buildings and he said he wanted to bring up a point. He said we will benefit by this thing -- there's no question about, it, A number of years back, we spent a lot of money. Present plan doesn't show culverts under Larpenteur. The Business men paid for placing curbing and black top for the business block. Keller's rearra.ngment of block 10 was also in this development. They have no objection to the thinking of Kinney and V6eatherston and admit there are a few inequities. They put in man-hobs and under-ground sewer tile. A number of ,years ago the Council turned down an offer of 50 to 70 thousand dollars to put this seVrer through to the Gottfried pit. 50 to 80~ of the water brill go into the County Sewer anyway. However, the Shopping Center has been sued, and the village has been joined in that suit, because of the water that comes from Crawford and roes thro~zgh "4ir. Hansen's basement, and he doesn't blame Mr. Hansen for suing. They are just fortunate enough to have insurance. He thinks all the village should pay for the storm sewer if anybody does. n~Ir. Sandels, 1795 Arona., asked if the S?18,500.00 price covered the cost of the pump as well as laying of sewer pipe. He also asked for a breakdown, and after ~~rlr. Ljungren gave it to him, he said he felt the prices were in line.
