MINUTE5 CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 29, 1991 Lee stated that he would appeal the assessment as a matter of principle since he felt his property did not contribute to the Thunder Bay drainage system and felt the assessment was wrong. Scheibel asked what the City was doing to assure that this doesn't happen again. Scheibel pointed out that developers have made money from the Thunder Bay area development. Now the drainage has to be redone, and property owners have to pay for it. Hanson pointed out the poor soils that exist in the area. Hanson also pointed out that property owners have a right to develop their property. Lee did not feel property owners should have to help pay for neighboring properties' drainage problems. George felt it was the City's responsibility to recognize the problem in the area and require the developers to address it. George felt that the property owners were now paying for the City's failure to do its job.
