Res. No. 3407--A resolution authorizing street paving on Orr Lane from 19th Avenue to 22nd Avenue and on 19th Avenue from Cleve- e land Street to Orr Lane (1905). Council consensus was to allow testimony. Kit Campbell, 58 Fairway Loop, stated that he is president of the Elmwood Association, previously Southwood Association, of 24 townhouses. They have been working on this problem for five years. For a long time, the drainage ditch was located halfway between the City and the County, but the Country Club is now in Eugene. They were told by Oscar Spliid when he sold them the townhouses that the ditch would be filled. A study was made in the 1960's in regard to filling the ditch. The inlet to this ditch is 72 inches and the outlet is 36 inches and higher than the water flowing into it. The problem is severe drainage to these townhouses. They have had water back up to their decks and almost to their foundations. They would like to work with the City and get the ditch filled. The ditch is now filled with blackberries and weeds which are coming up under their decks. A contractor said they should wait to work something out with the City. They would like to get the Engineering Division and the council's help to fill this ditch. They have signed a petition and will do anything they can to work with the City to fill this ditch. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to adopt the resolu- tion. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. ,_ Mayor Keller asked if this resolution would solve the problem. Mr. Gilman stated that a petition had been submitted by the majority of the residents. There is a need for a 60-inch storm sewer between the houses and the Country Club. The cost could be as much as $42,000 to the City and $30,000 in assessments. There are a number of problems yet to be resolved but this would authorize them to begin the process and perhaps construction could begin next year. Mr. Campbell noted that there is a 36-inch outlet hole. C. Application for Business License as a Wrecker of Motor Vehicles or Salvage Pool Operators Mr. Henry stated that this is a State license which requires the council to act on the application. Bernard Gilkison, Zoning Inspector, has approved this item and approval by the council is recommended. Ms. Smith moved, seconded by Mr. Lieuallen, to approve application for business license as a wrecker of motor vehicles or salvage pool operators for Lynn T. Vierling and Michael C. Milan doing business as Emerald Cycle Parts located at 1541 Highway 99 North. Roll call vote; motion carried unanimously. e 8/6/80--5
