153 <br />Schmidt You have water standing after a heavy rain, bu±, after a while, <br />it will drain. <br />Nilsen Not on Simpson. <br />Schmidt If the pot h:~les were filled, it should drain. <br />Nilsen Except for the residual water. <br />Schmidt There wouldn't be residual water if the not holes were filled <br />so the water could drain. <br />Bonestroo ti"~e can drain Simpson but there won't be any curb or ~u.+., ter left. <br />If we were to go in and swale Simpson, we would practically cover <br />all the curb and gutter. <br />Schmidt It didn't seem so after the last rain. <br />Bonestroo After the last rain, there was 1/10 of ~ foot of water standing <br />and this is vrhat ruins our roads. You ca.n't keep a black-top <br />street in condition if vrater stands on it. <br />Schmidt If the road level is fine d up, the water will run out. <br />Bonestroo If the people are willing to let us cover up their curb and. gutter, <br /> we ca.n do that. If they vrant to pay 52,25 per foot for curb and <br /> gutter and then let us rase the street to cover it, we can do that. <br /> As an engineer, I think that': foolish, <br />Shavor Simpson is so high the water is backing up into the driveways. d're <br /> can't keep building it up. <br />Cannon In the first place, I agree that a storm sewer from Larpenteur <br /> to the alley is a good idea. Thera is a terrific amount of water <br /> flowing from Snelling .venue. Somet'~:ing should be done to keep <br /> that water off Cra~nrford. There is more drop between Simpson and <br /> Pascal than there is 'oetween Simpson and Arona. There is more <br /> water in the gu±,ter from Arona to Simpson and it vrould be a very <br /> simple -u tier to dig the ditch a little deeper and let the water <br /> drain to Pascal. If you correct Simpson and then put your pipe in <br /> the alley, you should. be able to correct that problem. The ]_evel <br /> at Larpenteur an d Pascal is a lot lower than the Level at Arona <br /> and Larpenteur -- probably about half afoot. It is lo:tirer a.t <br /> Pascal and Crawford than it is at Arona and Crawford. <br />3onestroo It might be slightly lovrer there. <br />Cannon As long as you have a natural down-hill grade, why wouldn't it <br /> be smarter to pass the Simpson water to Pascal? <br />Bonestroo Let me take you back. The one time the Council considered a storm <br /> sewer which included running up that far, it eras turned dovrn. <br /> Certainly it vrould be much more logical. <br />Cannon Pascal would drain Crawford and garden. You vrould add. very little <br /> more vrater by draining Simpson over there, and you could get.rid <br /> of it by putting in ~~ ditch of not o~.-er !~ to 6" and then drain it <br /> in a way that, would be no problem at all. ~d`hy put additional vrater <br /> on Arona? ~;Y'hat are :re going to d.o v,Tith the water from Snelling? <br />
