Park Drainage Diversion presented a letter from School District No. 110
which tfrgod that the proposed northward diversion
of storm water from the We -Go Park area not be permitted since the additional storm water
would increase flooding problems at the Junior High School parking lot. Permission was
requested to connect parking lot drainage to the Village's storm ;newer system. Mr.
Richard Miller, 1114 Hampton, stated that the homeowners group in his area had written
to the Board several months ago to express opposition to the northward diversion of storm
water, homes in the area having been flooded in the past. He stated that the Drainage
Commission had asked its engineer to check the Greengard report on area drainage, and
asked that this report be reviewed by the Board before any action is taken. The manager
reported it would be three years before the new Lincolnshire subdivision is completed.

the School and Park Districts had blocked the extension of Montgomery Drive as originally
contemplated, but the Toll Road Commission had indicated that, if diversion of storm
water takes place, the drainage ditches would be cleaned. President Forrest asked the
manager to get a report from Mr. Greengard regarding his meeting with Toll Road engineers
in Texas.
