CLOSING COMMENTS Mrs. Kate Sullivan, 513 Zorn Lane (in the audience) said she is glad to hear the Village is working on storm sewer projects. She asked why Metro Park has not been prioritized over the Thornapple/Walnut area. According to the study that was done for the Village by Burgess and Niple, the number one priority is the Metro Park Drive area. There are easements through her property for storm sewers. In the six years they have lived there, they have never been maintained until either her or her husband has called either the City or the County. The existing storm sewer drainage system is undersized and inadequate according to Burgess and Niple. The existing drainage is creating a health hazard for the failing septic systems as known by the County Board of Health. (She referred to an article in the Plain Dealer yesterday.) Mrs. Sullivan said these sewers will still be there after the Inceptor. They have_not been there for 519, 513, or 509 Zorn Lane. They have experienced flooding over the past six years. Before they bought the property in 1986, the Building Commissioner met with Mr. Wilson (her next-door neighbor), Brian and herself and surveyed the pipe. He told us the pipe can handle it.
