1220 LoT.a Linda <br />Mound, Ktiinesota 55364 <br />Septercber 18, 1978 <br />Orono planning Coaraission <br />Crystal Eay» Minnesota 55323 <br />Dear planning Comniisslon Members: <br />Ten years ago we had an erosion problem that was <br />undermining the foundation of our cabin# The water seems <br />to cone down a natural drairage line to Lake Minnetonka. <br />At that tine. Bill Mills, the village engineer, researched <br />the area and gave our contractor directions for the work <br />to be done, we installed 120 feet of 30 inch freeway <br />grade culvert and filled over it, \Ve did not continue <br />the culvert to the lake because we did not own the adjacent <br />property. There remained, after the culvert was installed, a <br />50 foot open ditch and a 30 foot lenth of 10 inch pipe <br />under the lawn opening into the lake. <br />Although the 30 inch culvert has never been used to its <br />capacity, the 10 inch pipe is inadequate for most needs. <br />The open ditch is a safety problem for our family and the <br />neighborhood children, Kow we own both properties and we <br />want to correct the erosion problem and the hazard of the <br />open ditch by extending the existing culvert an additional <br />80 feet. There would be no significant bends or changes <br />of angles to accomplish this - it appears to be a simple matter, <br />Mr, Olson is requesting a new engineer’s study that has <br />been estimated -it ^200-300 before I can begin the work, <br />I an asking you to advise me on the feasibility of the <br />culvert extension before I start apendir»g large sxims of money. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />MrsV W.
