The resident living across the street from the two homes in question wondered why they had water in the basement and he didn't. He wondered if the ditch wasn't doing the job or if the house could be standing on a spring. Raymond Ledo, 2375 Sherwood Road said he built in 1965. Water table high at that time was at three feet. He put fill on his land and the others should have done this also. Mayor Neisen commented that when those houses were built the footings were dry. A resident suggested capping the catch basin at Greenwood Drive and Sherwood Road to see if it was doing any good. The attorney stated that the insurance company wouldn't pay for any damages that might result. Tom Dougherty of 2109 Laport Drive questioned who would pay the damages if the catch basin were capped. Robert Glazer questioned if a die could be put in the water to see where it runs. Engineer Bearden said it could be defined. Reinhold Markfelt, 2410 Ardan Avenue questioned where the water ultimately ended up. Engineer Bearden replied it went into a pipe on the east side of Long Lake Road, then north to Ardan Avenue and eventually goes up to the highway and runs along new Highway #10 and into the judicial ditch. Councilman Hodges noted that the water was ponding behind Long Lake Road and should be eliminated. He thinks they need to do more research on the problem. Councilman Pickar asked if the code requires taring of the outside basement walls. A resident stated that government loans require it, but not conventional loans. Mayor Neisen informed the audience that they would be notified of any additional developments in connection with drainage problems.
