STON EVVOOD <br /> DESIGN I BUILD LLC <br /> Tuesday, May 11, 2004 <br /> 4420 Shoreline Drive <br /> Lyle Ohman <br /> Spring Park,MN 55384 City Of Orono <br /> PH 952-471-0584 Orono, MN <br /> FX 952-471-0639 Re: 847 Tonkawa Road <br /> StonewoodDesignBuild.com <br /> Dear Lyle, <br /> MN I.D.#20330592 <br /> Our staff has acted very responsibly in regard to the drainage situation <br /> along Tonkawa Road. <br /> When we mobilized, we met with Bruce from your department as well as a <br /> representative from the Hennepin County Right of Way department. <br /> We discussed with Bruce an abandoned clay tile drain pipe neat the NE <br /> corner of the property. This appeared to have been plugged for some <br /> period of time, and was reported to have led to the lake at some point in <br /> time down through the middle of the lot we are constructing the custom <br /> home on. Water drains along the street in a Northerly direction from the <br /> lot(s) to the South of us through our site. We discussed this with Mr. <br /> Zetterstrom, and he left an application for relocating the curb cut more <br /> northerly than the current location. We also discussed culvert installation <br /> concerns in the event we left a drainage ditch along the road. <br /> We offered full cooperation to George Stickney as a contact person for the <br /> property to the North. He has chosen to ignore our offer to interface with <br /> him on any filling that he might want to suggest to his client at this time. <br /> Any `ponding' on our site would only lead to an undesirable condition with <br /> additional drainage water collecting. It would not lower any water level, as <br /> water sheet drains across Tonkawa to the East when ponding is full. <br /> Filling the ditch in front of the adjacent northerly lot is an easy fix, makes the <br /> road safer(in the event a car is forced off of the roadway and into a ditch), <br /> and was offered to be done by us at a time when we had dirt from the pool <br /> excavation `literally free'for the asking —or for the granting of the offer to fill. <br /> Please call me if more information is needed. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Jeffrey Gustafson <br />
