Motion carried. Mayor Latta stated the Daughters of American Revolution have requested that Plainfield proclaim February as American History Month. With no objections from the Board, this proclamation was approved. Robert Graham upwdate status on engineering project in Pheasant Chase. Mr. Graham reported the problem we are trying to address is the installation of a drainage channel running between Pheasant Chase Drive and Mallard Drive South. The original plans called for lowering the sidewalk six (6) inches and dig,a drainage channel approximately two (Z) feet deep and 3$' wide, across the 60' drainage easement between these two (2) streets. The problem is getting the water across the street into t.he: detention pond. fur original proposal was to install three concrete pipes under Mallard Drive South • through which the water would flow into the lake, but Mr. Graham thought this would damage the aesthletic value of the lake. We have come up with a similiax proposal that will essentially do the same thing. They would like to install a four C4) foot drainage box at the end of the easement on the north side of Mallard Drive South. A 42 inch drainage pipe will be connected to the box and go under the street and empty into the retention lake. Therefore, we would not have to dig an unsightly ditch from the curb to the lake. The Village Engineers (Hamiltons) are in agreement with this proposal but they wanted an expansion of 70 feet at the southeast end of the lake. J. Dement questioned if this was part of the overland roue. Mr. Graham stated yes, but the problem was getting the water from the overland route across the street. By digging out a portion of the lake, we will increase the capacity of the lake. J. Dement questioned about clearing the silt from the bottom of the lake. Mr. Graham stated by pulling the lake back 70 feet, it will increase the storage capacity and we will not know if we will drag out the rest of the lake until the time we do the job. When we discuss thzs new proposal, we will look at the dragging. J. Peterson questioned who will own the lake? Mr. Graham stated ultimately the homeowners, if they elected not to because of insurance, then we could talk to the Park District. At present, Z own it. Mayor Latta questioned what Mr. Graham is asking of the Board tonight? Mr. Graham stated he would like the Board to review the "print". D.
