Oral Petitions Richard Springer of 1060 Polk Place advised the Council of his concern with potential water problems which he feels will result from the construction of a home in his area. He noted to date he has experienced no water problems. Mr. Springer gave the Council pictures he took showing the current condition of the area after recent rains. He felt these conditions would continue and be increased with this construction. The Building Inspector noted that the lay of the land had been altered but that the contractor had appropriately addressed the waterflow from this area with the instal- lation of a drain field. The contractor was present at this time. He stated that the drain field was not completely installed as yet but when it was completed that Mr. Springer would experience less waterflow than in the past. Discussion continued regarding the construction of a fence and its legality. Mr. Springer suggested that if there is any water problem on his property he should be protected by the City and by the contractor. Mayor Nawrocki stated this is a private matter between him and the contractor. The Engineering Department has reviewed this project and the Council is to receive a written report. 5.
