1588 Sewer Trouble, Richard Ahmann, 15It0 W. Iowa, was present and advised 15.0 VAT. Iowa. he has had seepage flood into his basement on several occasions since connecting to the sewer line, and had had to hire Roto-Rooter at least ten times and they always find the trouble is in the main line. h'hgineer Lemberg reported that the grade was minimum but satisfactory and that on the two occasions the Village had the line rodded they had found, among other thins, a skirt, .a diaper, towels and a number of big plastic bags such as are put over garments by the cleaners. The Engineers were in- structed to check this portion of the line at frequent- intervals, and to lamp the line the neact sunny day to see i.f there are any rough spots. They are also to prepare a letter to be sent to the people on Iowa using the line from where the flow starts toward Snelling. Playgrounds fair. Ahmann also asked when the skating rink planks would. be removed. The Engineers were instructed to have Pennig pick up all the planks and store them at the back of the Village Hall. Zoning, Ernest ~w'ir. Weigt appeared before the Council and was advised Weigt it is the concensus of opinion that hisy~property will be zoned B-1. He was shown a copy of the :proposed ordinance so he could read the specifications for B-1 zoning. Engineer's Lemberg advised: The boulevards disturbed by U~aterma.in Report 1960 #1 Improvement will be dressed with 3" of black dirt and sodded as soon as the weather permits. Settling is unavoidable and it is felt +,hat the fair way to put the streets back in shape is for the contractor to stand half the cost of the b:;_ack top, and the Village the other half where settling did occur. Regarding Blomberg's curb, he will write a letter requesting work to be done as per Blomberg's suggestions and submit same for =~lomberg's signature. The County won't take the responsibility of placing a culvert across Roselawn at Prior. The County agreed to install catch basin and culverts across Holton at Garden if the Village will pay half the expense. It was suggested Lemberg figure out the annroximate cost of the installation, and the Council will determine whether to do the work themselves or negotiate with the County. The County will extend the culvert across Albert at Garden. They will soon put in the culvert at the vralkway at Pascal and Ruggles.
