Lake proposed for South Abbe subdivision drainage plan
Elyria developer Robert Glover outlined a temporary two acre lake on South Abbe Road to drain the subdivision during three to five years until a storm sewer is built. The lake, 12 to 14 feet deep on the east side, would be fenced and water diverted into a ditch along Abbe Road during dry spells to flow toward the Michigan Ditch. Glover said the lake is a long term drainage measure tied to future lot assessments of about 1500 dollars each and the prospect street extension reach.
