Engineer answered no. <br />Mr. Jenson questioned why the proposal is for an 1811 culvert rather <br />than a 27" culvert, as previously discussed. The Engineer maintains <br />an 181, culvert will handle the current problem. <br />Mr. Jungman asked what provisions have been set up to maintain the <br />level of Jane. He would like another alternative rather than piping <br />more water into the lake. <br />Residents indicated before the development of Lake Jane Hills 3rd <br />there was a ponding area where Irvin Court is now, with the water <br />being held there by a berm. The developer leveled the berm, thereby, <br />increasing the water flow to Jane. <br />Bruce Folz stated there is no greater amount of water going into Jane <br />now than before Lake Jane Hills. A berm constructed to the east <br />diverts a large portion of what use to flow into Jane to the south. <br />More water may be going down Irvin Court, but no more water is flowing <br />into Lake Jane because of the development. <br />Another resident indicated they are to be assessed for something they <br />were assured would not happen when plat approval was given. <br />Mollie Hedges stated that there was never any water on their property <br />at this location before Irvin Court. <br />Mr. Schaubslager felt the developer should be totally responsible <br />for correcting the problem. Residents are already being assessed <br />to: pump Lame.Jaheob_ecaliserof flooding and will be assessed again to <br />put more water back into the lake. <br />Mr. Praus questioned why existing property owners should be assessed <br />at all. They were told there would be no increase in run—off. There <br />was no problem before Irvin Court filled in a holding area. <br />Richard Connors stated he has been fighting'the.flood problem for <br />the past couple years. He feels no additional water should go into <br />Jane. He suggested the developers put in a holding pond in sone other <br />area of the development to take care of this run—off. <br />
