<br /> MINUTES <br /> <br /> City Council <br /> (COnt'd.) <br /> February 13, 1980 <br /> Hammond Mr. Tansey appeared before the Council as a representative of Mr. <br /> Property Hammond. Mr. Hammond is requesting a fill permit to fill a portion <br /> of his property on County Road B-2. Mr. Tansey informed the Council <br /> that the DNR has stated that a permit for this filling from them is <br /> not necessary. The Metro Watershed District has stated that a permit <br /> is needed from them for the filling on the west end of the property <br /> only. Mr. Tansey informed the Council that Mr. Hammond is willing <br /> to comply with all reasonable requests of the Council to obtain the <br /> fill permit. If the fill permit is not granted, Mr. Hammond feels <br /> that the City should begin condemnation proceedings on his property. <br /> Councilman Fahey asked if Mr. Hammond is willing to dedicate easements <br /> for the ponding area and drainage ditch on his property. Mr. Tansey <br /> stated that Mr. Hammond would be willing to negotiate these easements <br /> if Mr. Hammond would be allowed to fill for two home sites. <br /> Mr. Tansey stated that Mr. Hammond has 300 feet of frontage along <br /> County Road B-2 which has been divided into two sites. Mr. Hammond <br /> would like to fill thevhole piece of property with the drainage <br /> situation being worked out by the City Engineer. <br /> Mr. Folz, another representative of Mr. Hammond, stated that they are <br /> considering putting in 4,000 to 6,000 yards of fi7.1 into the Hammond <br /> property. Folz stated that they will be raising the elevation of the <br /> home site approximately 4 and one-half feet. <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that if the City grants the filling permit, <br /> in addition to the easements, Mr. Hammond should grant the City a <br /> hold harmless agreement for any drainage problems that might be <br /> caused to the Hammond's neighbors to the east and west. Fahey stated <br /> that if the permit is granted, it should be on the basis of a hold <br /> harmless agreement. <br /> Councilman DeBace suggested that most of the property be left just as <br /> it is and Mr. Hammond only fill for the structure. <br /> Mr. Folz stated that this would not make much difference to the drainage <br /> in the area. Folz stated that the City should clean out the holding pond <br /> and the drainage ditch on the Hammond property and the drainage ditch <br /> running north-south along County Road B-2. <br /> Councilman DeBace stated that the Council is concerned with water running <br /> on the house to the west of the FIammond Property. <br /> The Engineer stated that the filling could be done without harm to any <br /> of the other property in the area. Carley's only concern was preventing <br /> any water from running to the west. <br /> Folz stated that the property would be filled so that the drainage from <br /> the back of the property would go to the north and the drainage from the <br /> front of the property would go to the south. Folz stated that they would <br /> stop the drainage from flowing to the west. <br /> Page -4- <br /> <br />
