048 COUNCIL MEETING April 14, 1986 Page Three at all times. This would kill trees. He asked if the Environmental Protection Agency had been notified. He did not see how Mr. Ulmers ponding proposal and easement requests could benefit the existing property owners. He also asked if Mr. Elsworth (Sonny) Wenzel had been notified. He said the water would also back up on his property. Mr. Doak also asked if Mr. Wilson had been notified since the addi- tional water from the proposed 4th Addition would run off through his property. James Brandl, 7057 Rice Lake Court - Mr. Brandl stated if Mr. Ulmer is allowed to pond as he has indicated, the water will be fifty feet from his back door and could drain into his basement. It will pond about three - fourths of his property. Jim Hill, 298 Elm Street - Mr. Hill asked if the 100 year high water line take into account the run off from the streets and will street oils be addressed. Carl Schmuland, 212 Ulmer Drive - Mr. Schmuland noted that the storm sewer and the ditch on the west side of his property was never com- pleted and the pipe was incorrectly installed. There has been some staking on is property and one stake is already standing in water. The ditch and pipe are already full and will flow back onto his property. He is concerned about his septic system and felt there was considerable financial risk as well as risk to the wildlife if Mr. Ulmer is allowed to proceed with his ponding and dike system proposal. Gary Dahl, 216 Ulmer Drive - Mr. Dahl said he moved to Ulmer Drive because he like the rustic area and the wildlife. He was also con- cerned about the dike and ponding reducing the area of his lot. Karen Henrikson, 220 Ulmer Drive - Ms. Henrikson said she would be least affected by Mr. Ulmer's ponding plan, but was not in favor of the proposal because of the risk to wildlife and she was also concerned about the resale value of her property. Otan Molvig, 224 Ulmer Drive - Mr. Molvig said he was opposed to the proposal for the same reasons as already pointed out. Mr. Ulmer explained that his proposal will not increase the amount of water that is already there, it will only determine the rate it is allowed to flow out of the area. Mr. Doak said he has worked in construction for many years and said the elevations he has listed are incorrect. Mr. Ulmer said the pond level will stay at where it presently is, it will not change and will not affect wildlife. Mr. Ulmer said the ditch and culvert on the west side of Mr. Schmuland's lot is where it is supposed to be, if they are incorrect, that is the City's fault since the City Engineer is responsible for checking the installation.
