Mr. <br />Grochala replied he believed that would be coming from the State Aid Fund. <br />Mr. Lyden asked if there was already a sidewalk on the north side of the street. Mr. <br />Grochala replied there was. <br />Mr. Lyden asked if they needed a trail on the south side of the street also. Mr. Grochala <br />replied they were still assessing this at this time. However he noted by continuing the <br />trail on the south side, they would avoid residents from having to cross the street a couple <br />of times to continue on the trail. <br />John Johnson, 261 Elm Street, stated he disagreed with Mr. Landers and there was a lot <br />of people who used the trail and he indicated he would like to see the trail go through. <br />He stated children should not cross the street to continue on the trails. He supported the <br />sewer and well proposal. He stated his well did not have drinkable water and his septic <br />system was failing and he was ready to hook up and was in full support of this project. <br />Bonnie Lewandowski, 7180 Sunset, stated they were on the corner and they had on the <br />side of their yard large pine trees, which would need to be removed to put the sidewalk <br />and drainage field in. She stated there was a sidewalk across from them and there was no <br />offer of compensation for the trees being taken down. Mr. Grochala replied the trees <br />were in the existing City right -of -way. <br />Ms. Lewandowski pointed out the trees had been there for 31 years and they had taken <br />care of them. She stated the City had sewer and water ran the sewer down their front <br />yard, which killed two large elm trees in their yard, instead of running the sewer on the <br />side yard as they wanted. Now if the City also took the pine trees, they would have no <br />privacy on their lot. She indicated the pine trees were full - grown, beautiful trees and she <br />did not want to see them removed. <br />Sharon Krantz, 7132 Lakeview, stated they did not have City sewer and water and <br />expressed concern and asked if would have sewer and water come down Lakeview. Mr. <br />Grochala replied this was outside the project, but in the future it could be extended at the <br />request of property owners. He noted it would be stubbed off of Elm Street to go down <br />Lakeview. She expressed concern that by fixing Elm Street, this would that cause more <br />water to come down Lakeview. <br />Mr. Studenski replied they had addressed this concern and they were expanding the pond <br />behind Willow, as well as adding additional ponding. He stated nothing from Elm Street <br />would be dumped onto Lakeview. <br />Maris Dupris, 331 Elm Street, asked if the sewer could be piped across the road. Mr. <br />Studenski responded they had put this forth to the residents saying they were <br />reconstructing the street and it was the most economical way to put in the sewer and <br />water and the feedback they received was very favorable. He stated it would be a <br />possibility for residents to subdivide their lots now and it made the most economical <br />sense to go down Elm Street. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
