Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, April 15, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />Mayor Rinker asked, can I ask you to describe so we understand where the drainage issue is so that <br />we are ail on the same page? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, it's along the north property line of Mr. Christian's property to the south of the <br />property. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, are we talking the entire boundary? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, the water problem by Mr. Christian's lot is a nortb/south pocket of water by a <br />mound of earth that drains to the north. When the swale is put in, that water should be alleviated. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, where is that located relative to the house? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, it's actually near the rear of the property, almost at the back. <br />Mr. Christian replied, it's actua.lly, there's a pipe buried between my property and the Library <br />property. <br />Mayor Rinker. asked, where? <br />Mr. Christian replied, along the boundaries. <br />Mayor Rinker stated, but the boundary is a large, I am trying to pinpoint it. My understanding is it <br />was in at the northwest corner. <br />Mr. Christian replied, Costanzo put it in. It ran from his old building all the way to the front of the <br />road. It was crushed when the road went in. It has never been repaired. Every time I bring it up, it's <br />wait till the projecPs over. We will resolve the issue. IYs never been resolved. I spent $30,000 <br />resolving the issue of my own money to have the house dug up to find out if my pipes were crushed <br />when the road went in. This pipe is crushed also. It doesn't drain anymore. When the road went in, <br />we had pictures and gave them to Doug and everybody else of geysers coming up out of this pipe. I <br />mean, water shooting up this high because it had nowhere to go. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, wha.t is the problem today? <br />Mr. Christian replied, the problem today is that tha pipe is still crushed and there's nowhere for that <br />water to go. The swale has to be cut deep enough. In order to do that, they are going to have to cut <br />in to tree roots because this has been there for 15 years. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, is it the understauding that if the swale is done right, it should function? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, correct. <br />Mayor Rinker asked, and the way they reshot the grades from an engineering standpoint, it should be <br />done right and that's to be done this week before it opens up?
