He has had flooding problems this past July, September and December. Mr. Cancian feels that the sewer line in this area is insufficient.

Mr. Nashsr commented that this past sinner a service crew had worked on Stafford Drive and replaced some of the storm drain lines. He agreed that the flooding problem must be addressed before the street repair program is begun. Mr. Bohimarm said that the city is currently seeking proposals for engineering services for the Bretton Ridge subdivision. If the funds are appropriated, the project will proceed. It will probably be a two- phase project over two years. The project will be similar to what was dome in the Park Ridge development where parallel storm sewers were installed and the sanitary sewer infrastructure was repaired. Mr. Boh]maxm also agreed that the flooding problems should be addressed before the street repair grogram. Mr. Cancian asked whether street lights could be installed in the Bretton Ridge development.

Of the approximately 5'40 homes, only 60 replies were received. However, the majority were in favor of street lighting but not in favor of the no parking signs.
