Jack Shelton stated that the lot was very low but that Mr. Yonan was willing to b"ild c it regardOss. Jack felt it would not be a problem to neighbors at all , he felt that Mr . Yonan would be holding all the run-off water on his property and the land was already stubbed in for City water and sewer in 1963.

Mr. Yonan carefully explained that he planned to terrace around his property. he also stated that he intended to draintile around the house too , Al Roepke motioned to accept the applicaLion contingent upon extending the berm from Ed.
