1443 <br />Nilsen e are now in the rrocess of setting up a meeting v~fi ere we vri11 <br />learn the Planner's recommendations, ~`ind will then conduct <br />Public Hearings on the subect. <br />V. Landis, ti'Jhy not postpone this thing until you are sure what is going to <br />1538 Craw- hann_en on Crawford? <br />ford <br />Nilsen Nobody knows what the future will bring. 'r'+'e have no plans. If <br />someone comes along vrith the money --- no one knows what will happen. <br />L:~A r.~yer, You claim this is a problem now. Two years ago it was evident that <br />1794 Asbury the majority of the residents were opposed to it. VJYio is bringing <br />this matter up? Let those who are instig~ting this, those who are <br />interested, have it and let them pay for it. <br />Nilsen I have been up to Simpson many times to see if we could solve <br /> the problem. ~`:"e can't drain the water into the sanitary sewer. <br /> i'.`e ha~-e tried to hold taxation to a minimum. Vie have consulted <br /> the bituminous industry and have asked a lot of advice, l`,'e <br /> have operated the last few years on a very minimum budget. '~~e <br /> asked r.gr. Bonestroo to study this problem and get this thing <br /> licked. This :14,000. proposal is the same as two years ago, <br /> but now, by reducing the size of the pipes to drain off the water <br /> not instantly, but soon, vre were able to reduce the cost. <br /> Another thing, this is a health problem. <br />Krgnz Is the G>125.00 figure per 60 foot frontage? <br />3onestroo Yes, it is 60 x 124' on a square foot basis. <br />Helin Is there a formula on a sliding scale assessment? <br />Bonestroo It has been tried, but it becomes so complicated it becomes a court <br /> case. ~o~ie do know tha±. we can go to Court with this and .substantiate <br /> it. This, ti"re know, will hold up. The Vi ~.lage of ?loomington has a <br /> formula ~vhere the Council assesses 80~ on an area basis and 20~ <br /> go~s on general taxes. This is contingent upon Council action. <br />Cannon j°;~e people who have lawns and flower beds are shedding just as <br /> much water as a business street? Do you mean to sit there and tell <br /> us that lawns and flower beds give as much water as a black-top <br /> business building? <br />Bonestroo Naturally, a blacktop road will run off 85~ or so. You cannot <br /> argue the point too well. <br />J. Tdikkelson There have been problems about water standing in the east. <br />1731 Simpson There have been monies spent to correct this and the problems are <br /> still there. I think the Council's action in hiring an engineer <br /> who specializes in this kind_of work is wise, T think this is the <br /> way to go about getting the thing cleared up. He and his firm <br /> should be respected for their suggestion that the streets be <br />graded so the water will run off, '~t~e must all recognizethat the <br /> water stops at some unfortunate fellow's door. It is short-sighted <br /> to say it doesn't bother me, and I don't want to pay for it, dis- <br /> tribute the cost throughout the community. Tv~o years ago the <br /> problems were not on Simpson. ~'my, tivhen the streets were graded two <br /> years ago, weren't they graded so the water would drain? 1~thy does <br /> the water now stand in the street. Is there any part of this cost <br />
