Janet Schell, 1904 No. 5th St., stated she would prefer the pipe to go through Lot 4 and her property; also that Lot 4 would stay wild. Laurie Dauffenbach, 311 W. Willow St., stated Lot 4 is a buildable lot and they will not improve Janet Schell's property at the expense of that lot. Also, the neighbors do not want a brand new street on 5th St. They could build on Lot 4 right now if they meet the conditions of approval and contain the increased run-off on Lot 4. r Scott Klaes, 1802 No. 4th St., aSKed who is responsible to prevent the problem. Mr. Moore replied that water runoff cannot increase because of the development. Tom Bronson, questioned how the drainage problem started twenty years ago and what could be done about it. Mr. Mueller, 312 W. Willow St., asked what will happen when the pipe comes across Willow St. and Mr. Moore explained. A representative of the Stillwater Country Club stated they will be getting a large assessment and Mr. Moore explained why, adding they contribute to the drainage problems.
