It is too <br /> late now, because the crew came through and patched everything-_up. I <br /> also assumed they were going to replace the grass. <br /> Lease - If you have a particular problem, the engineer will be glad to <br /> look it over with you. <br /> Vern Peloquin (15226 Forest Blvd.) - regarding my property on Oneka Lake <br /> between Sparrow's and Ashby's. My water doesn't flow to the storm sewer. <br /> I have to take care of water coming from another source. As far as I can <br /> see, I don't have any advantage of the storm sewer. <br /> Mrs. Ashby (5980 Oneka Lake Blvd.) - I don't see how this storm sewer <br /> has increased my property value by $1 ,600.00, equal to the assessment. <br /> Mrs. Ashby submitted a Supreme Court opinion regarding special assessment. <br /> She also showed pictures indicating where water had accumulated after <br /> the storm sewer had been installed. Stated water was 4 feet deep. <br /> Vern Peloquin (15226 Forest Blvd. ) - I even get water from your streets <br /> in my fields. It has run there ever since you dug the sewers last year. <br /> When will we know what action is being taken on this? <br /> Lease - We are not going to take any action tonight. The Council will <br /> have a meeting to review what action will be taken. <br />
