when sanitary sewer went in and the houses were built in 1969 and 1970.
Conrad Dumke of 8045 Greenwood Drive wanted proof that his lot drained into
the area. He said his lot drains south. He inquired if the map could be
challenged since it was an old map and not a new survey map.
Mayor Neisen commented that this was purely an informational hearing. If he
wanted a water drainage survey to see where his lot drains, they would have
to make a new map. This would cost money. So far no money has been expended.
Bill Frits of 8072 Long Lake Road inquired what purpose was being served by
the catch basin at the southwest corner of Long Lake Road and Sherwood Road.
He said the grade level of the road was changed in 1967 or 1968 when Long
Lake Road was paved and the drainage changed to a northerly flow instead of
a southerly flow.
Mayor Neisen defended Engineer Bearden in that he had only served as Village
Engineer since April and was not familiar with happenings several years ago.
Paul Fedor, Sr. of 8030 Long Lake Road stated that a new highway would be
going in, in the near future and perhaps all their planning now would be
changed.
Mayor Neisen stated it may affect the flow north of County Road J.
John Piciorek of 8065 Eastwood Road inquired as to how many homes had made
complaints. Mayor Neisen replied three homes.
Mayor Neisen again explained that this was just an informational hearing
and no assessments would be put on this evening.
Mr. Hansen a resident of Fridley, but speaking for Nellie Dormeier stated
that she had no problem.
Mayor Neisen explained that some part of each property owners land drains
into this area.
Mrs. Nordstrom of 8050 Greenwood Drive wondered why they should be burdened
when these people chose to build where they did, why a house 5 feet from
them would have problems. Mayor Neisen answered it could be the contour of
the land.
Duane McCarty of 8060 Long Lake Road stated he had no water problems and he
lives close to the ditch. He wondered if he would be assessed or not. He
doesn't want to pay for other peoples problems and asked why a building permit
was issued in the first place if there are water problems in the area.
Gordon Barnes of 8031 Greenwood Drive wondered why the builder wasn't told
the water table when he applied for a permit to build.
Robert Pearson, 2415 Sherwood Road said there were two things that bothered
him. There is no assurance the problem will be cleared up if this were done
and it bothered him that the whole village wasn't included. Why are just
these in this area singled out?
