Mayor Hoke advised the audience the Council held a work session
on February 9, 1988 and reviewed the history of Hawkins Pond
Storm Sewer, Project 176, and Section 30 Storm Sewer
Improvements, Project 177. Council also reviewed the entire
scope of storm water management.
City Engineer Rich Hefti summarized the chronological events from
1971 to the present on Projects 176 and 177 and outlined the
districts for each project. Hefti noted that although the
current system in Section 30 apparently meets the needs of
existing residents, at this. time and . is consistent with
traditional storm water systems, it is questionable if these
needs will be met in the future. Hefti listed several factors
which could change the existing conditions. Hefti answered
questions from Council regarding the benefit of managing a few
large ponds versus several small ponds; the current percolation
rate may not meet long term needs due to additional fertilizers,
pesticides, organic decay, etc.; a demographic change of
household population within Section 30; and the responsibility of
the city to provide the most service possible at a given time:
See Clerk's File 1988-6.
Marlene Heinzen, 14587 Danbury Avenue West, stated she has
experienced water problems for approximately twenty years and is
against the improvement projects.
Arlyn Cope, 14717 Danville Avenue West, as a representative for
several people in the audience, cited several reasons for being
against Projects 176 and 177. He advised homeowners were charged
for the cost of storm sewer when they purchased their homes, and

were constructed for capacity larger than required. Cope also
stated he was against being assessed for increasing the size of
Hawkins Pond if the enlargement is due to the development of
Country Hills Additions and Shannon Parkway.
JoAnn Cope, 14717 Danville Avenue West, requested that Council
designate Twin Puddles as a permanent holding pond and not a

Project 177.
