r � � know why then is he holding 18" of water in front of his house when you go 2 blocks over to 94th and there is no water in the ditch. He has talked about this to Road 8 Bridge Supt. Van Auken, who has promised to resolve this problem, but it has not been resolved so far. Director Davis advised that he will be glad to arrange a time and meet Mr. McBride in the subdivision and review this. Rita Lansing, 8211 93rd Avenue, understood that when 87th Street was paved, there were pipes that ran from the road into the lake. She wished to know what lakes in the area of the loop have been targeted to run the drains to in order to keep excess water off the properties in that square of area within the loop. Director Davis replied that at the present time we have not designed the paving and drainage of these particular roadways. The master drainage study, however, does define the drainage patterns in the area, and this is available within the subdivision and also in his office. Ms. Lansing asked if what is planned will hook up with the drainage canal that runs to the E/W, and Mr. Davis advised that it will connect to the drainage canal to the north of the subdivision as well as the existing E/W canals. We are utilizing the existing canals, expanding those canals, and adding retention throughout the subdivision. Mrs. Melanie Manning, 7925 92nd Avenue, informed the Board that she is a new resident. She noted that Mr. Davis stated it was the choice of the residents and the members of the committee who requested 101st to be paved, but they were told at a meeting that the traffic count would determine the priorities for paving the roads. She personally took a look at the traffic counts in the report that was done and determined that 91st Avenue had a higher average, but Mr. Davis told her that money already had been expended for surveys, permits, etc., for 101st and even though the traffic count was quite a bit different than antici- pated, you would proceed with 101st. Mrs. Manning further informed the Board that she went to the Budget and Financial Office and pulled the spread sheet and the general ledger to see how much money has been expended on the project for 101st and all she could find was $1275 for engineer- ing. Now they are finding after several N1STU meetings where they were told the cost would be $12/15 a foot that it has gone to $41, and she was confused about the difference. Director Davis advised that the Budget Department will tell you exactly what direct expenses the county has paid out to outside companies for fees. Our county surveyor and his crews have done the surveying, and the design has been done in-house by JUL 16 1991 7 BOOK �a F,j,c
