Page Three PROXIMITY TO WHAT IS THE DISTANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE BLACKTOP TO HOUSES THE HILLSTROM'S HOUSE AT 1160 NORTH WILLOW (NORTHEAST CORNER OF WILLOW AND 6)? The Council needs to inquire exactly how close the road wil; come to this house. The road well be cgtremely close. The proximity of the road, plus the loss of several valuable trees, will significantly decrease the market value of this particular property. WHAT IS THE DISTANCE FROM THE OUTSIDE EDGE OF THE BLACKTOP TO THE HOUSE AT 1125 NORTH WILLOW (NORTHWEST CORNER OF WILLOW AND 6)? With the road being moved 14 feet to the west, this house will have the road considerably closer than otherwise would have been the case. The Councii needs to protect the interests of this new property owner by helping her under- stand the market value of her property will be adversely affected. DRAINAGE DRAINAGE BETWEEN HIGHWAY 12 AND COUNTY ROAD 6 At the September 25 meeting, Mr. Bernhardson said that he had been contacted by Mr. Cox of 1020 North Willow because Mr. Cox was concerned about drainage. Mr. Bernhardson did not explain, other than to say that Mr. Cox was concerned. The problem of drainage in this area needs to be discussed in some detail. The land on either side of Willow Drive between Highway 12 and County Road 6 has historically been an extremely wet area with poor drainage. The last five years have been comparatively dry, but when normal precipitation patterns return, this area will again experience drainage problems. In the spring during years of normal pw-cipitation and after heavy rains in the summer, the water literally ,tands wit', nowhere to drain. There are only two natural dips in the half -mile stretch. The water runoff from this stretch will probably be channeled into two areas. Where will the runoff from this half -mile stretch be directed? Into the Battrum's small duck pond at 960 Willow Drive? Into Dickey 'lake (if the water ca.. actually get there)?
