Mayor Johnson said he would like to give them until a certain time next spring for construction to be started. Attorney Meyers said a policy to this effect could be written. MSP (Johnson - Shelquist) to adopt a policy with regard to the Mermaid Lounge Bowling Alley that construction must be commenced and appropriate fees at the time of construction of the Bowling Alley be paid. Councilman Shelquist thought that the permit should have a six month restriction on completion time. MSP (Shelquist- Johnson) to amend motion to place a six month limit on the length of time that construction may be in progress after initiation of construction. Engineer Bearden presented a report to the Council on temporary drainage improvements for storm water ponding north and south of Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Fairchild Avenue. Water tight manholes with control inlets at the two backyard catch basins could be constructed for approximately $360.00. Or, a less permanent type construction could be tried to see what problems may occur. This could be accomplished by constructing a sand bag dike around each of the two catch basins to prevent water that may come out of the catch basins from running into the back yards of the adjacent property. If this method is employed the run -off from the surface that normally gets into the catch basins may have to be pumped over the sand bag dike into the catch basins. It is recommended that if this method is employed that boulevard sections be checked and graded higher, if required, to provide water storage on the streets without overflowing the boulevards. Mr. Roger Grosse, 2757 Ardan Avenue, suggestsconcrete pipe be used instead of the sand bags. Engineer Bearden said it would be possible on the north of Ardan but on the south side it is more complicated. MSP (Baumgartner - Shelquist) to accept the engineer's recommendation as a temporary solution to put in a concrete pipe at a size, height and diameter as determined by the city engineer for the rear of the property north of ardan and sand bag the catch basin just off of Red Oak Drive south of Ardan and to proceed post haste. 5 Ayes 5 Ayes
