He stated his neighbor was not <br />included in the assessment area, yet, his property <br />drains across the Edgerton property. <br />Larry Bohrer <br />- said he walked the area and had a survey crew <br />determine where the physical breaks,:- in the <br />terrain was. No absorption tests were done. <br />Gary Schaubschlager <br />8567 Lake Jane <br />Trail - asked why the developer of Lake Jane Hills <br />was not assessed the total cost since there was no <br />flooding problems before the development. He stated <br />Irvin Court was built over a natural drainage area, <br />therefore, he feels the developer should be responsible <br />for the entire cost of the project. <br />Larry Bohrer <br />- indicated the overall drainage plan for the plat <br />reduced the amount of water that,:previously flowed <br />into Lake Jane.
