8-5 Tues. Cloudy—no rain. <br /> LOT CLEARING. Todd cut trees outside footprint for over dig and const access. Todd <br /> pointed out the power line issue and trees that needed to be removed for over dig and <br /> equipment movement around house corner by front door area. <br /> EXCEL ENERGY ISSUES. Placed call to Shawn—cell 612-630-4292- at Excel to <br /> discuss downed line with neighbor's tree, transformer location, underground or overhead <br /> routing of wires,temporary power location. Todd pointed out that the pole (near the 30 <br /> inch Oak that had to be downed) is obsolete- has the old metal `steps' sticking out the <br /> side that kids can climb up and get `fried'. It has a gray, round transformer on it—fairly <br /> close to the house. This pole/transformer feeds both Vaillants and the now vacant lot to <br /> the North. The neighbor's Box elder tree up by the road fell across the line and dropped it <br /> —tree laying on Vaillant's lot in the `maybe wetlands'. It fell during last month's big <br /> storm. Todd feels—I agree—pole with transformer should be moved closer to the street— <br /> must be within 100 feet of the new home, but not `on top of it'. Services for both homes <br /> should go underground to homes from there. The gray, round transformer is ugly, and <br /> Power Company will maintain a large `swath' under the lines from the street to the <br /> transformer pole at all times—don't want that. Did not get a return call back. <br /> WETLAND DRAINAGE. Todd and I observed the boulevard areas to be bone dry. <br /> Found an antiquated culvert of clay tile on the northerly neighbor's part of the drainage <br /> ditch wetland- hard to say what that is all about... In the southerly wetland was another <br /> plugged culvert. Todd spent an hour shoveling it open, and digging through a 17 inch <br /> `barrier' around it to help drain standing water when runoff collects there. <br />
