- 4- <br />Mr. Wegner said the house was appraised at $40,000.00 and was sold for $38,000.00 <br />and this appraisal was based on a firm appraisal from financial institutions. A <br />difference of $2,000.00 was due to the fact the lot was low. <br />Attorney Meyers asked if there was a grade on the back of Lot 7. Mr. Birkeland <br />said top soil was taken off and a lot of fill hauled in. Mr. Birkeland stated he <br />contacted more than one professional excavator and they had told him the water <br />would go through the sand better than a drain pipe and putting in a pipe wasn't a <br />good idea. <br />Walter Skiba reported that there are no drainage assessments in that area. <br />Mr. Phil St. Louis, 2309 Sherwood Road said he had no objections to a pipe placed <br />across his lot if it was returned to a state of reasonable repair. <br />Mr. Lyle Nelson, 2357 Sherwood Road stated he has lived here for five years and has <br />had no problems. <br />Councilman Baumgartner asked if the reason the hole was dug in the back was to <br />bring the fill out to set the home up higher. <br />Mr. Birkeland said he graded it out and from the high lines pushed dirt forward <br />pulling dirt out of the slew in back to get at sand for water to perculate through. <br />Mayor Neisen announced with regret that the hearing would be continued on November <br />12th at 8:30 P.M. and hoped it would not inconvenience persons involved. But, in <br />view of the fact that Mr. Wegner requested a chance to speak to the Village Attorney <br />to discuss this problem, the hearing would be continued. <br />MSP (Neisen- Pickar) To continue the hearing on November 12th, at 8 :30 P.M. to grant <br />the attorneys time to discuss this problem. 5 Ayes <br />Councilman Johnson inquired if the matter of the $2,000.00 grant of money to allow <br />for this was mentioned on the purchase agreement. Mr. Wegner said it was. <br />At this time, the residents presented an objection to the improvement and the <br />assessment, but not so much if the assessment was not there. <br />Mayor Neisen asked for roll call to continue hearing two weeks from last evening. 5 Ayes <br />MSP (Johnson- Hodges) To adjourn the special hearing at 9:25 P.M. 5 Ayes <br />The Regular Meeting was called back to order by Mayor Neisen. <br />Mayor Neisen's Report <br />Mayor Neisen commented on a letter he received from the North Suburban Day Activity <br />Center.
