City Council Regular Meeting Minutes June 23, 1998 Page 10 1 Mr. Hubmer stated this would not adversely affect the water table because it will drop the ground 2 elevation three feet. He did not believe this plan was much different than the previous plan but 3 noted that the previous plan did not show the location of the homes. The wetland_area.is-right 4 along the edge of the property line of the park. 5 Allan Otte, 3508 Skycroft Drive, explained that this plan is different in that it includes a 4-1 6 slope which eliminates the need for a berm which would trap water on the property. This is a 7 better approach. 8 Mr. Johnson again asked if this would affect the water table and noted that sump pumps in this 9 area run everyday whether it has or has not rained. 10 Mr. Hubmer stated this would not increase the problem. 11 Mr. Harding asked why the water has to be directed to open fields rather than the storm sewer. 12 Mr. Hubmer explained that the sewer does not have the capacity to carry the water so there has to 13 be a place to store the water until the storm sewer can handle it. 14 Sandy Maxwell, 3540 Skycroft Drive, asked if all this standing water would create a mosquito- 15 haven. She had thought that the holding pond was located further from the homes. 16 Mr. Hubmer stated the area of a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes is very small. It would 17 be the open ditch area which is only 1 foot by 10 foot. There will not be standing water in the 18 dry pond. 19 Mrs. Maxwell asked if a mesh could be placed over the hole for safety. 20 Mr. Hubmer explained that a 4-1 slope is not steep. He did not believe that there was a safety 21 concern. 22 Mr. Maxwell, 3540 Skycroft Drive,noted that all but two of the properties in this area along the 23 border of the park slope to the park. 24 Mr. Hubmer explained that an existing grass swale behind those two properties will be enlarged 25 so that the water will drain to the swale instead of the yards. 26 Marks noted that the layout of the ballfields as shown is significantly different than currently 27 exists. 28 Mr. Hubmer stated the ballfields will remain in their current location.
