From:Jon Miller <br />To:Melanie Curtis <br />Subject:Development Concerns with Hartzle property 2987 Casco Pt Rd <br />Date:Wednesday, March 9, 2022 9:18:46 AM <br />Hi Melanie, <br />Good talking to you yesterday and thanks for the insight on everything. <br />As i discussed my concerns are related to the water flow that comes down the street to a single drain <br />between our property (2980) and Bonnie Martinsons which empties into Casco Cove. I understand the <br />city has ordinances and that engineering was done beforehand to plan for the water flow but the fact is <br />that is that it is not working. With the developments of neighboring properties over the years there is a <br />much higher frequency of wash outs (water coming over the berm and going through the properties) and <br />is now happening from "normal" rains. I understand water has to go somewhere and feel Im practical <br />about that fact but what concerns me is the city may overlook considering what is happening now with the <br />wash outs and and how the development of this property will exacerbate the issue with the water flow. I <br />also understand the difficult situation after someone has bought the property with dreams of what they <br />want (example would be on how the lots get built up high so even though hard cover is in accordance <br />with the city rules the slope leads to water flowing like it was essentially hard cover). I think it would be <br />best that before this property gets sold or developed the city thinks ahead about how the City can try to <br />correct the issue of the water flow. A possible idea would be to do a catch pond like the one that was at <br />one of the neighboring properties before it got removed or add another drain going to the other side of the <br />lake. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jon Miller <br />2980 Casco Pt Rd <br />c: 218-689-2496
