Mrs. Olson, 5091 Brighton Lane, expressed concern with the infiltration basin proposed for her lot given the fact there would be a grade change near the basin. Public Works Director DeBar explained basin#16 has been eliminated from the Area E plan. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the seventh appeal was from Amy Hermanek for the property at 2760 Woodale Drive. Ms. Hermanek had safety concerns along with how the basin would limit the use of her front yard. He explained the property owner uses a wheelchair full- time and is concerned with safety while in the vicinity of the proposed basin.

City Staff, along with the Streets and Utility Committee recommend denying this appeal. Public Works Director DeBar indicated he spoke with Ms. Hermanek about her concerns and the possibility of constructing the basin on the west side of her driveway. Soil borings will determine if this alternative location would be acceptable. • Mayor Flaherty indicated Ms. Hermanek requested Staff make every effort to move the basin to the west side of the driveway.
