Discussion followed on a report dated June 27, 1967 from the Village
Engineer, Mr. Peterson, regarding proposed sites for Well No. 6. Mr.
Peterson stated in his report that in accordance with the Boardts
instructions, sites both east and west of Route 53 were considered but
he has limited his studies to areas that are currently in the Village
limits. He stated that he has limited his studies to areas that are
currently in the Village limits. He stated that he is of the opinion
that the location for Well No. 6 should be in the general area of the
intersection of Biesterfield Road and Route 53.
The Engineer also.presented a written report concerning the Shadywood
Lane drainage study wherein he stated that to correct the situation,
the improvement of a drainage ditch which runs all the way to Busse Road
would be required and is a project of considerable magnitude and would
be quite expensive, He stated that when and if this land, on which
this drainage ditch is located, is annexed to the Village, it could be
required at that time that the developer construct the ditch or storm
sewer at his cost. Mr. Peterson stated, however, there are several
steps that could be taken immediately to substantially improve the
situation and he recommended & catch-basin installation and a beehive
cover on the manhole at the back of the lots facing on Shadywood. He
stated that the Department of Public Works has already scheduled con-
struction of these two improvements.
