Mayor Gerald Johnson, 5140 Greenwood Drive, stated that there was <br />a significant drainage problem in the area of Ridge Lane and <br />Long Lake Road that he feels is the result of an underground line <br />that is of inadequate size. Last year, the intersection at Ridge <br />Lane and Long Lake Road was flooded because water backed up in <br />this area. <br />Peterson, Gregory K., 5079 Red Oak - no water problem. Wondered <br />what kind of storm would collection system be designed for. <br />Roger Short answered that normal is for a 10 -year storm. Reten- <br />tion areas may have to be designed for 50 -year storms. <br />Overby, Robert, 5272 Red Oak - no basement water, but 1 - 2" <br />standing in back yard. Four houses south similar situation. <br />St. Marie, Dave, 5278 Red Oak - across H -2 to north swamp gets <br />2 - 4' deep.

Has piezometer in his yard. <br />Rowley, Tom, 2562 Ridge Lane - no water until July 4, but neighbors <br />had it previously. <br />Williams, Bob, 5279 Sunnyside - no water problems, but neighbors <br />on east side of his street, several houses south had water in <br />basements. <br />Weaver, Joe, 2613 Louisa - water on property and basement both <br />summer 1974 and 1975. Has drain tile around interior that <br />dumps into sanitary sewer. Back of lot is wet most of year <br />round and standing water during spring & summer.

Tile east of his place is <br />plugged as well as tile that City cleaned this fall. <br />Doug Wallace, 3rd house east end of Sherwood, north side of street, <br />had water in back yard approximately 11" above basement floor. <br />Flow seemed to be comming from under garage.
