No minutes from August meeting, July minutes already were approved in August. Need |
to include the August minutes in the next agenda. |
SP: have been kicking this around for quite a few years now, so asked to see the |
policy. SP: I think we should get rid of half of this stuff. We talked about doing the |
sidewalks when we do street repairs, 50/50 participation. JDS: I thought that with the |
special assessment the village would pay for all sidewalks. SP: they do not have |
sidewalks, they would be installed as part of the assessment. SP: fill in the gap - is this |
an annual program. I would suggest getting rid of it. GH: A. on page 6. Why Number |
2? Should be for all or none. SP: Madison project, mayor said wants sidewalks there. |
DD: more traffic there so we don't want people walking in the street. JDS: concerned |
about liability issues. SP: any school sidewalks put in in recent years? DD: Not in last |
CIP or this but in 2000. SP: get rid of Item 1, it is a dinosaur. Make item 2 all streets. |
Make item 3 a line item on the CIP and get rid of it. GH: I think we should be paying for |
all sidewalks in the Village. JDS: I thought that is what we agreed upon, even on |
Special Assessments. SP: all streets have work done approximately every 20 years. |
SP: eventually D will disappear. JDS: If we make changes on this, is the Board willing |
to make changes on this? SP: let's make suggestions. SS: looking at this it is very |
cumbersome, so have at it. SR: there is some history to this policy. SP: we are asking |
staff for modifications to be submitted to us at next meeting to review before being sent |
to the Board. |
SR: just informational. Don't need to address this tonite. Just wanted to let committee |
know that there is a trustee interested in doing this. SP: this has been kicked around |
for quite awhile. We have looked at this before, other towns have done things with this. |
Unless the board is interested in funding this, then we should look at this. GH: Did |
trustee talk to staff about this before writing this? JDS: we looked at funding and liability |
issues with this. GH: not as easily done as when we are doing construction in the area. |
Costs become much more significant if we are not doing construction. JDS: would |
have to have village personnel making sure that structures are being installed correctly. |
DA: Standard procedures would require permits and inspections. SP: committee would |
support if funding was there. SP: would be similar to overhead sewer program. SR: |
Dave Gorak is the prime example of all of the issues this would open up. DD: when you |
cut off natural flow with backyard drains, you can cause flooding to other properties. |
DD: push for more storm water sewer separation. This could potentially cause a lot of |
problems. |
Taken out of order due to resident in attendance at the meeting. Mr. Shannon submitted |
a video tape from June 13th rainstorm. Stated he called with flooding complaint as did |
his neighbor, but no one showed up right away; arrived after the water subsided. SS: |
asked Stan to explain what PW does when called out for flooding. SR: we try to |
respond as quickly as possible. Check for blockages, give advise to residents, etc. DA: |
(addressing Mr. Shannon)Didn't you do some structural things to the house? Shannon: |
had new crawl space put in, floor dropped out of sight. Ran a steel girder from one side |
of the house to the other to keep it from sinking. On 4th furnace in 30 years due to |
flooding/have spent over $60,000.00 in my house. In June, water came up like crazy, |
we are the low spot on the block. The basin 2 doors to the east was completely empty. |
SP: Sanitary was surcharging. Shannon: where is all of this water coming from? SS: |
asked Stan if he could explain any of this? SR: explained plat. Shannon: in front of |
106 & 107 is where water is always bubbling up. SR: reviewed color page of storm |
sewer on Crystal. New storm sewer installed in 1994,95. GH: How long has this been |
going on? Shannon: since 1972. This made me the low spot. GH: is any of the water |
in your basement sanitary waste? Shannon: some in 1972, 1988, and some this year. |
GH: most of this is surface water? Shannon: yes, most of it is rain water. GH: I went |
through this myself. SR: continued to review storm sewer page. This picks up storm |
water and brings it over to Crystal. It heads south to the Pond. GH: No storm sewers |
on Potomac? SR: Yes, it is there, it is just not on the plats yet. SS: is anything shut off |
or closed as far as you know? SR: no, everything is working. Shannon: there used to |
be a pump station there a long time ago. SR: that may very well be, but it is not needed |
any more. We lowered the pond and that helped the situation. GH: Water used to |
pond by the Great Western path. SP: none of the work we have done has helped you? |
Shannon: it seems to have aggravated it. I am the lowest spot. GH: one of the |
problems that created more problems on Philips Ct. & Glenview was that the outfall was |
below the level of the river. Outfall needs to be above the pond, not below. DD: if |
sewer lines are appropriately designed, this would not be a problem. GH: I don't care |
about theory, I want to know where the outfall is. This is very important to take in to |
consideration. SR: Will have more hydraulic information for the committee at the next |
meeting. SP: looks like the 27 " would be causing more of the problem. If we have |
made changes in the outfall, this could have aggravated his problem. SR: have |
lowered the level of the pond one foot and the addition of storm sewer flowing to Crystal. |
DD: he is an intermediate low spot on property, not the sewer line. GH: this could be |
why he doesn't start backing up until after a few hours. If the outfall of these storm |
sewers is above the pond, there is no problem. If after the rain is falling, the outfall in |
below the pond water level, could this aggravate the problem? DD: He does not |
experience a problem until the grade line is above level. SP: right in front of the house, |
there are 4 inlets that dump water into the sewer lines. Shannon: it comes from 107 |
and 110 curb inlets. Go to 63, and it is dry. SP: This is all coming from the 27. JDS: |
this is all coming from Berkshire? SR: DuPage, Berkshire. DD: Looking at the face of |
this, timing is everything. May have gotten a little heavier rain, flow is bubbling in and |
bubbling out. GH: What is the outfall of the pond? SR: it is a gravity flow southbound. |
GH: at one time it tied into the 72 inch. SR: it still does. GH: any power outages, etc. |
at that pump station? SR: it is all new. GH: what is the size of the outfall at the pond? |
SR: don't know. GH: by putting more water in to the pond, even if dropped the pond |
level, couldn't this have aggravated the situation? SP: where did the water come from |
in 1972? Shannon: from the pond. What can be done to alleviate my problem? SS: 4 |
dropping in to that one area? Why weren't any tied in to the other system? SR: Not |
part of the plan. DD: The sewer on Crystal is much larger than needed for this area. If |
something happened on the pipe size, I would have to investigate this further. JDS: |
What can we do, what are our options? SR: Need more information. DD: without |
knowing more about this project, I cannot speculate any solutions. Have to look in to the |
design of the system and the pond. Check the hydraulics. GH: before we did special |
assessments up there, streets did not have curbs and gutter, they had ditches that |
flowed out to Main Street. We are probably bringing twice as much water to the pond. I |
am concerned about the outfall. SS: sounds like it would be a good idea for staff to look |
at the designs, hydraulics, etc. of the system . DD: where does the water come in |
from? Shannon: some from the pump sumps, floor drains, sanitary sewer. Committee |
reviewed tape. Directed staff to review design, hydraulics, etc. and report back at next |
meeting. Also, to keep Mr. Shannon informed. |
SS: asked Stan if there is any special consideration given to Lombard based |
contractors. SR; replied not on a Public Bid, but a local firm can sometimes give a |
better quote due to the fact that they are local. |
