10. PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR <br /> . MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by O'Malley, seconded by Fenwick <br /> and passed unanimously to limit the length of time for public comments to three minutes. <br /> Nancy Horton, 26030 Altamont Road, addressed Council. She explained that she was <br /> requesting assistance from Council to pay for the drainage system she installed to protect <br /> Altamont Lane. Horton developed Altamont Lane 19 years ago and had not experienced <br /> any problems until Silent Hills Lane was built. She discussed the problem with Town <br /> staff. Horton said the City Engineer agreed that there might be a potential problem but <br /> that the Town had no available funds for repair. Horton elected to continue moving <br /> forward without Town's support by hiring an engineer and underwriting the repairs and <br /> looking to the Town for assistance when funding was available. Horton concluded by <br /> saying she would appreciate any monetary assistance the Town could give to help with <br /> the repairs. <br /> Mark Helton, Civil Engineer with Guiliani &Kull, clarified that his firm had designed the <br /> remediation plan in conjunction with the Town staff to correct the drainage problem at <br /> the corner of Altamont Lane and Altamont Road. A sub drain was installed up Altamont <br /> Lane to Silent Hills Lane to catch the water and stabilize the situation and to prevent the <br /> undermining of the base rock underneath the road. <br /> Nobuku Cleary, 26410 Silent Hills Lane, explained that she will be directly affected by <br /> the action taken by Council this evening regarding this issue and she hoped that Council <br /> would agree to reimburse Ms. Horton for her expenses. She and her husband have been <br /> asked to participate in the costs of the repair if the Town denies Ms. Horton's request. <br /> Cleary added that the improvements were done by the developer not by the property <br /> owners. <br /> Jim Abraham, 12831 Viscaino Road, requested that Council consider denying Comcast <br /> the right to place large equipment storage containers throughout Town as a part of their <br /> upgrade program. The units are large and unsightly and very visible from utility poles. <br /> 11.
