C��'OF pRONO <br /> Orono Mayor James White <br /> P.O. Box 86 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Dear Mayor White: <br /> I am very concerned the natural drainage of water from my yard may be <br /> blocked by the construction of the a home being built by Stephen longman <br /> Builders at 2118 Shadywood Rd. South of my home. The raising of the grade <br /> about three feet seems to create a dam which I fear will alter the past natural <br /> drainage causing future water runoff to pond on my property. <br /> The original home at 2118 was built in 1914,and established the grade. I bought <br /> my home at 2106 Shadywood Rd. over 20 years ago. Since I have owned my <br /> home, I have never had any standing water on my property. <br /> I understand the current plan is to put in a culvert and reroute the water runoff <br /> from my property to County Road 19.The Orono city engineer has expressed <br /> concern that if this cuivert becomes clogged,the water runoff wili pond on my <br /> lot.A natural surface draina�te seems a better solution allowin�the surface <br /> water to run off naturallv unencumbered. <br /> If the City approves the current proposed solution utilizing a culvert to drain the <br /> water runoff, should this culvert become blocked and water is ponded on my <br /> lot, l respectively request written guarantees from the City of Orono it wili be <br /> corrected at no expense to me, or future owners of my property. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> i��. ` . �>�c�� <br /> W�Il�am J. Sime,Jr. <br />
