The following residents from Ladewig Drive appeared to discuss drainage
problems in their area:
Mr. Maki Mr and Mrs. Winkelmann

Mrs. Birkley Mr. Chm$Bl
Mr. and Mrs. Doepke
The committee advised these people that we had been investigating the
problem and that ditches along Ladewig Drive and a ditch along Woods
Road to the creek appeared to be the best solution. However, a deter-
mination of the value of the walnut trees along Woods Road must first
be made. The residents agreed that shallow swales along Ladewig Drive would
be more acceptable than narrow ditches,
