Utility Permit; Lake Leann Lake Level Lake Leann is the name the residents of Block 1, Foxfire Estates have given to the pond which abutts their back yards. Lake Leann is totally contained on the platted lots. The pond has nearly dried up because of the drought and the adjoining property owners find that their property values have decreased because of this condition and have proposed to construct a private 100 gpM well on private proprty to pump into the lake to initially refill it and then maintain the level thereafter, but the propertyowners would like to connect the well discharge pipe to a city owned 18" reinforced concrete storm sewer pipe located in a drainage easement between Lots 10 and 11, block 1. The well water would then run down the storm sewer pipe into Lake Leann. A.utility permit is required to connect to a City utility. The propertyowners have already received a permit from the VBWD for the work. A DNR permit has been applied for but is pending. Bohrer had no problem with connecting this well into the city stormsewer with the listed conditions in his letter dated 2/15/89 imposed upon that connection. Councilman Williams had no problem with the concept, but had a concern on the manual shuftoff when Mr. Johnson should sell his house. M/S/P Graves/Williams - to approve a utility permit for Mike Johnson to connect to the city storm sewer for the Lake Leann Augmentation Project for pumping up to 1 million gallons before DNR approval is necessary; contingent on the six conditions stated in Larry Bohrer's letter, 2/15/89, be complied with, and engineering costs associated with this permit be passed-thru to surrounding residents.
