Mr. Goggin explain+sd in 19b9 there was a request for a street opening. This wan prior to the development we know it is to be. The Planning Comn3.ssion approved it sad ease went to a Corui.ttee of Council. Council`s minutes indicated legislation was to be drafted. Legislation was never drafted and the question Law Director Gateau answered was during the time frame from 1959 to 1975 whether or not there was an undue le~th of time to still warrant as action according to the former Planning Cossriasion's recomwendation. Law Director Gateau felt that it was an undue length of time and recommended that the Planning Coea~ission cemlaider this as a new project which they did. Subsequenty the P2.anaing Commission chose to deny the requ+sat and Mr. DiBeaedetto came to Council. Roll Call on Motion: Affirmative vale: Beaty, Goggin, Lampert, Beringer, Sharpe, West, Wilanrosky. Motion carried. Mr. Goggin repoxted the Streets it Drainage Committee met With the $nvironmental Control Committee on December 10, 1975. Purpose of the meeting was to review and update the flooding in the northeast section of the City. The Service Department has been smoke testing downspouts in order to detect cross connections which overload the lift station in that area and during heavy rains causes back- ups into hones. The City der has indicated earlier that if as few as 100 homes can be located with these cross connections a~ disconnected, most of the back-up into these hcsdes would be elisnated. Service Director meter at the meeting indicated that to-data 44 homaa have been found with cross connections and have only checked to date one-third of the homes in that area. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the 100 homes that the Engineer has indicated would eliminate or at least alleviate to a mayor degree our problem will certainly be found. The Streets b Drainage Coss~i.ttse and the Environmental Control Committee will continue to keep Council updated as progress moves along; 2) Cosmittee discussed with the Service Director and the City ~Enginser the possibility of a roadside ditch program. Surface water on the roadways which is not able to be accepted into the roadside ditches is a ms~or cause of street deterioration and Committee has reco^matded that the Engineer compile a list of those streets whose roadside ditches era deficient and to report back to Committee in order to establish a woxkable plan to help alleviate this problem; 3) Come~i.ttee discussed a need fox a sidewalk on 1~till Rd.
