1ir. Gag].a.ardi, representing rlr. Garbas of Worton Park, asked if something could not be done to enlarge the waterway in Worton Park, so that it would not flood Mr. Garbas' basement. Ivlra Gagliardi said that the culvert under Wor-r,on Park Drive was too sma119 that it was smaller than that urx3.er North Woodlane and; if enlarged, wcsuld' he thought, prevent this flooding. He said tlia 'U, si:nce the road was to b e repaved, he thaught this wauld be the proper time to do the job. It was estimated that a change in culvert size woul.d c os t ove r$l' 000.000 Mayor Endress then said that the water was not onZy flooding over the roads in this area, but over all the roads in the village, and went on -to enumerate other sections of our village in just such a critical sita.ation9 msntioning specifically, the lower SOM and ZnTil.son Mi11s area. Mr. Gagliard.i said that he thought that a lawsuit might lie with the people who had developed the Worton Park area because of the mariy changes in the course o£ a natural waterway. - Mayor Endress then asked for permi_ssion to have our engineer make a su,rvey and come up with some kind of an idea -on where we stood in the matter. It was pointed out at this time that the Pease Engi.neering Company had made jus t such a survey and it was this -basis -that had - led Council to put a large bond issue on the balloto It was suggest,ed,that Nr. Peterson try and get this survey from Pease before going further with a survey. TZayor Endress again spoke of all the different people in our Vi17.age having water troubles and, due to this, he would not recommend passing a consent ordin,ance for the North South Turnpike un-til plans were made that shoyred what they were going to do with water from the Freeway. Mayor Endress said that, due to our camplain•ts, the s-tate had been making surveys in lower S0Yi and had cleaned out some of the di-f,ches and removed rocks that were hindering the water f1ow. a Mayor Endress reported that last week he Yiad seen County Sanitaxy Engineer Puzinski- and that he had part of the Ridgebury storm sewer listed as inadequate; that the County was also going to buil:d a storm sewer down SOM to ? to the,river, the lines to be run North and. South into a natural water course near the High School. Mayor Erxiress then suggested to them that they make a survey and f?ive us an arbswer to the consideration of a County.Storm SetpTer datim Ridgebury, with no breaks in our Village. This would take the water away before it got into the villageo Mayor Endress said that Nayiield-Heights had had a meeting with Council on paving of Ridgebury; that he did not lmow their decision, but felt that the CounV would not consider a cemen-t paving; that they wished macadam pavi.ng on a scarified base; as.the County felt.that in'the next 15 years Ridgebury would be considered for permanent'improvement and the County could not see putting in a cement paving. Mayor Endress said that nothing zaould be done this year, however. NIr. Nickerson, representing a g.roup from Glenview, said that he had heard that Council was going ahead with the repaving of Glenvieti? and the people did not like this, as they had had no say in the matter. Mayor End.ress pointed out that nothing had been done, that Council had merely asked for an estimate of cost and that all the people would be notified before any 5s
