Engineer Hubbard added that the ground water wells have fluctuated and some are higher
now than they were in February 1976. He stated that he felt 4' would be a reasonable
margin to work with and that drain tile should be required for anything within 4' to
insure that the basements did not have water. He added that if the developer planned
on bolding at the 906' elevation, he should plan on putting in drain tile.
Administrator Achen stated that in the Sundee report it is recommended that anything
within the 4' contour have drain tile, and that anything above the 4' would not be
required to be tiled. Engineer Hubbard agreed and added that if there is existing
ground water within 4', drain tile should also be required.
Councilmember Ziebarth expressed concern with the fluctuation of the water table and
added that he would be more comfortable with a wider margin. He also asked why the
developer chose to put drain tile in some basements but not others. Mr. Buzzell
replied that he was concerned with pocketing water and that he had put drain tile
in to be safe.
