compaction the soil density will change. The engineer wants a

trouble installing sewers on Mercury. The park was created under
the original plat and later sold to Ingersol with the other two
lots. Mr. Honl questioned that if this has been such a dry
summer, how does it get its water? If it's a spring, it'll be
hard to fill. The owner said that if he was allowed to fill the
pond it would either be all of the pond or nothing since he wants
to use it as a parking area. He states that there has been no
flooding and it would be trenched to Apollo Drive. Mr. Lee said
that the final surface will have a swail that will go out into
Apollo Drive. It was stated that we will need a fill permit. The
DNR and the Corps. of Engineers may have jurisdiction. They will
have no erosion permit because of a proposed building to be
constructed. Wiza would not cause problems to others. Mr. Lee

ducks and the neighbors' property. Mr. Honl could not see
