Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, August 21, 2023 <br />Page 9 <br />A member of the audience stated, it's my house. <br />Mr. Rundo continued, when we looked at it it had rained somewhat hard, not like this, but we went <br />there and I watched all of the water just shoot off the high school. It's almost like having the <br />world's largest plastic sheet. It just hits that and it's gone. It doesn't retain anything on the lot. <br />That's one thing that stopped me from wanting to buy there. I saw it and I'm like, wow, that's <br />going to be like a wave. Even when we bought out house on Hemingway I said, hey, that wave is <br />going to come down here. We were a little concerned about it but we were high enough that I felt <br />it wouldn't be an issue. I would think working with the high school, even if they, I don't know if <br />you can use eminent domain or legal recourse because they kind of created the problem on the <br />high school by making that plate to shed the water. They need to help slow it down. It would be <br />nice if they did. It would help everyone in the neighborhood that's dealing with it. The high <br />school is a big one. The question I had and I know this is water terms, so I will keep it short on <br />this one. The landscaping and what they are going to do afterwards, I know it just got seeded, <br />what's the long term plans, especially at Dale's yard, facing Worton and the whole retention area <br />itself. It's going to be dry 90+% of the time, what are the plans to make it more palatable? Who's <br />going to be more responsible for that? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, it is going to be lawn. The Village will mow it. Next year, we will work at <br />the Service Department to see if they want to plant some trees here and there but otherwise, that's <br />going to be a depressed lawn area. <br />A member of the audience asked, no tree replacement? <br />Mr. Cappello stated, next year they are going to look at possibly placing some trees here and there <br />but not a ton. <br />Dan Hall <br />South Woodlane <br />The scale of those crossings is massive compared to the road. I was told they were that big because <br />the roads may be expanded or widened down the road or years out, but I am guessing that is not <br />accurate. Is it that oversized because that's what's needed to manage the water? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, the width of the culvert is to manage the water. There are no plans to expand <br />or widen the road on South Woodlane. We made it longer because traditionally you go from right <br />of way to right of way. The original runs were just a little bit past the roadway. <br />Mr. Hall stated, it's like 30 feet. <br />Mr. Cappello replied, on South Woodlane, Norman and Woodlane, the size of those box culverts <br />are going to be 10 feet wide, not 14 and 16. Those are smaller because you have two different <br />flows coming, one from Ridgebury down the middle of South Woodlane and Norman and it meets <br />
