George Beniek is not satisfied with the condition his lot was left in.

Dale Geving wanted to know why the overrun of cost over the original estimate.
The original cost was $22,000.00 on April 23, 1973, and the projects
actual cost was approximately $32,000.00.
I
ONe of the reasons for the increase in cost of the project was that the
original estimate did not include the cul-de-sac. Another reason was
the bad soils found under the road. The Village paid ,-for the extra
gravel fill needed in finishing the road.
Gordon Freeburg says there is water standing along the south side of
West 76th Street halfway between Great Plains Blvd. and Huron in from of
his house. The Engineer stated that this spot has been checked aut.
Mr. Freeburg feels the engineering on this project was inadequate.
He felt the curbs around the intersections are very poorly constructed.
Mr. Wolff stated that on the East side of Great Plains Blvd. the sodding
is below the street level. He stated that at the public hearings he was
told this property would be built up to the level with the street. Now
he has a water problem. Mr. Wolff felt the street was not finished
properly.
Bill Brezinsky walked the project and felt it looked good.
Mr. Schnelle,the Village Clerk walked the project with the Engineer and
these were his comments. The driveway on West 76th Street at 412 West
76th Street had a water pocket. AT the intersection of Iroquois and West
76th Street the blacktop spill will be cleaned up.
At the intersection of Huron and West 76th Street blacktop was messy.
Sodding was needed on the triangular corner at proposed Great Plains Circle.
I
There is a low spot at 7609 Great Plains Blvd. and the owner put in this
driveway and he is going to have a drainage problem.
Mr. Schnelle felt with the exception of the few noted problems the street
looked fine.

Mr. Freeburg felt the persons on this project should have been notified
they could participate in the walking inspection of the street.
Mr. Wolf stated he is only concerned about the boulevard area with the
sodding level. His property should not be the Village's problem. The Village
Engineer stated this would have to be corrected.
Mr. Freeburg has a gully in his back yard. He also stated the people
were told load limit signs and the enforcement of these signs would be on
the new road. These signs will be taken care of.
Elroy Williams wanted to know if the circle has been surveyed. The Engineer
reported that it had. Russ Larson, Village Attorney requested copies of
the survey be brought to the Village Hall.
Mr. Coulter felt that the actual digging, dirt hauling and sodding was done
well by the contractor.
Harry Pauly felt a directional sign should be put at Great Plains Circle.
Mr. Schnelle stated that this will be done.

of this ground was vary poorly done. Henry Wrase will check this out.
