COUNCIL MEETING November 12, 1985 Page Five Mr. Pat Smith of 7002 West Shadow Lake Drive told the Council he was concerned about some of the septic systems in the area in that they are located on the street side of the lots and may be infiltrated by the storm water coming off the streets. He said he would supply sand fill, sodding and truck time for the construction if the City would pay for the culverts. Mr. Reinert was concerned that this culvert could provide access to the lake for some septic overflow. Mr. Smith said there are 10 -12 homes in this area and because there is not adequate drainage) storm water fills the ditches and stands for a considerable amount of time. He felt if the water could drain from the area properly the storm water would not interfere with the operation of the septic systems. Mr. Reinert felt this should be looked at closer. Mr. Smith said there was at least one septic system not working properly. Mr. Volk said that just installing the proposed culvert would not correct the drainage problem in the area. It would correct the inconvenience of the property owners adjoin- ing the drainage easement only. Mayor Benson asked Mr. Volk and Mr. Kluegel to gather more information especially involving where the septic problem may be. He asked Mr. Kluegel to determine if this culvert were installed would it solve this particular septic problem and bring this information to the next Council meeting. ATTORNEY'S REPORT A.
