130 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JULY 25, 1988 <br />storm water drainage. Mr. Joyce said that all he has now is <br />a deeper ditch that does not drain. He did not see any <br />improvement. <br />Tom Caron, 1325 Main Street said he does not have any <br />improvement on his property. He noted that when it rains he <br />has a lake and the driveway is worse than it was before the <br />improvement. <br />Kent Carpenter,. 1217 Main Street explained that the <br />trenching machine wrecked his driveway and cut his <br />drainfield. The County is aware of this and said if the <br />County can ignore his problem then he can ignore the <br />assessment. <br />Cathy Clemons, 1000 block of Main Street asked if there can <br />be a variance for those who did not get curb and gutter. <br />Mr. Bohjanen explained that the improvement consisted of <br />storm water drainage as well as curb and gutter. He asked <br />if it would have been better to ask the County to put curb <br />and gutter in the entire. improvement? Mr. Bisel noted that <br />storm water drainage is also an improvement <br />Mr. Matzke asked if a property located directly behind him <br />would be assessed. Acting Mayor Reinert said no if the <br />property is not directly benefited. <br />Mr. Winiecki asked if the ditch cleaning near his property <br />was part of the improvement. It was explained that it was <br />not part of the assessment, only the ditch along Main Street <br />was included. <br />Patrick Joyce felt this is an important issue and a lot of <br />questions have not been answered. He said a lot of sliding <br />is going by. Acting Mayor Reinert said that the Council <br />cannot deviate from the policy, they cannot deal with one <br />issue one way and another issue another way. Mr. Joyce said <br />the residents do not have any choice, all they can do is <br />bitch. <br />Mary Palumbo, 672 Main Street explained that the issue is <br />the improvement to the City not to the residents. She said <br />that all she received was a bigger ditch that does not flow. <br />In addition it is not just the adjoining landowners who are <br />enhanced. Acting Mayor Reinert said that this is true and <br />that is why Anoka County paid 95% of.the improvement. <br />PAGE 13 <br />
