I jj'/^ ■ > r Mrs. Alexander Holzar - 2 -12-4-78 Your property is higher in elevation than the surrounding property to the north and south, and therefore runoff from yo\ir property has been flowing onto the neighbors' land. Thus, retaining walls on the sides of your property with some type of gutter or surface drain system would be necessary to direct the runox*f from entering adjoining property and also to prevent erosion of the small banks on the sides of your property. If Just a fence were constructed on the side lot lines, the water would flow onto the adjoining property as before. Seeding or sodding of all disturbed areae should be undertaken to prevent Infiltration and weakening of the soil. In aodition, vegetative cover should be established along the steep bank to the lake to prevent erosion and weaken ing of the soil there. The planting of shz^bs or bushes would also servo & useful purpose. Some typo of remedial work Is necessary to prevent ero&ion and slippage similar to that which has occurred on adjoining property, I feel that of the above described measures, the use of the retaining wall along with a properly constructed series of sw^es, catch basins, vegetative ec/er, and drainage pipe to divert water from the top of the bank would result in the required protec tion at the least cost. This will also prevent runoff from entering the neighbors' property, which would exist if the ground remained In its natural state. Should any additional information be needed, please notify me.
