The drainage on the lot is <br />generally from north to south. The elevation on the north along <br />the access road is about 932 and drops off about 2 feet to the <br />south. When the area was subdivided, the Watershed District did <br />recommend a minimum building elevation of 933 for this lot. All <br />the ponding requirements have been met by the subdivision plan. <br />The City Council appointed Councilmen Dunn, City Engineer Bohrer, <br />City Administrator Overby and Dan Olinger to begin the preliminary <br />planning and report back at the next meeting.
