Mr. Wegner said the house was appraised at $40,000.00 and was sold for $38,000.00
and this appraisal was based on a firm appraisal from financial institutions. A
difference of $2,000.00 was due to the fact the lot was low.
Attorney Meyers asked if there was a grade on the back of Lot 7. Mr. Birkeland
said top soil was taken off and a lot of fill hauled in. Mr. Birkeland stated he
contacted more than one professional excavator and they had told him the water
would go through the sand better than a drain pipe and putting in a pipe wasn't a
good idea.
Walter Skiba reported that there are no drainage assessments in that area.
Mr. Phil St. Louis, 2309 Sherwood Road said he had no objections to a pipe placed
across his lot if it was returned to a state of reasonable repair.
Mr. Lyle Nelson, 2357 Sherwood Road stated he has lived here for five years and has
had no problems.
Councilman Baumgartner asked if the reason the hole was dug in the back was to
bring the fill out to set the home up higher.
Mr. Birkeland said he graded it out and from the high lines pushed dirt forward
pulling dirt out of the slew in back to get at sand for water to perculate through.
Mayor Neisen announced with regret that the hearing would be continued on November
12th at 8:30 P.M. and hoped it would not inconvenience persons involved. But, in
view of the fact that Mr. Wegner requested a chance to speak to the Village Attorney
to discuss this problem, the hearing would be continued.

Councilman Johnson inquired if the matter of the $2,000.00 grant of money to allow
for this was mentioned on the purchase agreement. Mr. Wegner said it was.
At this time, the residents presented an objection to the improvement and the
assessment, but not so much if the assessment was not there.
