T'he reason he came <br />this evening was to let them know about the problem he has with the reaz of his lot. When he <br />purchased the lot, the property had a small creek about three feet wide with four inches of water <br />flowing through it, sometimes it overflowed. The Village came through and said they had to <br />widen and deepen it. That is when the problems started. It is now ten feet deep and thirty feet <br />wide. When he talked to the former Mayor, he said not to worry about it, the Village will get him a <br />bridge to get to the other side of his property. Trees would be put up and a fence for the safety of <br />his children. His Council representa.tive also told him not to worry. He did not get what he was <br />told and would now like to know how the Village is going to help him. <br />Mr. Rinker stated he recalls a lot of history concerning this lot; negotiations and agreements. At <br />this time, the only thing he can do is refer it to the Law Director for his review. <br />Mr. Ziernicki stated there were no negotiarions with him. They came to do the work and when he <br />objected to them starting without answers, the Chief of Police was called and he told him that if he <br />did not allow them to go ahead, lie would be put in jail. The creek is now ten feet deep and thirty <br />feet wide. Because of the relocation of the creek, his lot does not drain conecdy and he has 20 to <br />30 trees standing dead. It is not safe for the kids and he cannot get to a good piece of his property. <br />He realizes they have an easement and he has to live with that, but something needs to be done. <br />Mr. Rinker stated that he is aware of a problem with repositioning the creek due to an erosion <br />problem. <br />Mr. Ziernicki said his lot does not drain right and he just wants to know if someone is going to <br />have the yazd regraded, the dead trees removed, and a bridge to get to the other side of his <br />property. What good is it for him if he cannot get to it? Is someone going to buy it from him or is <br />he going to get a bridge? <br />Mr. Basile stated that he was the Councilman. <br />Mr. Rinker stated that he cannot pronuse a bridge, but he will have the Law Director look into it.
