Highlights of Run-off Damage to 4500 & 4510 North Shore Drive <br />Caused by Construction of Homes on Tonkaview Lane <br />Fall of 1996 Hennepin County completed pavement overlay and curb project on <br />C.R.. 19. Raised lip of driveways, deepened drainage ditch and <br />installed new 15 inch corrugated metal pipe under Sawicki drive­ <br />way. Rip rap installed at pipe outlet. <br />Fall of 1996 John Gerhardson informs us by phone that the 4615 Tonkaview <br />property owners will permit the diversion and ponding of nin-off. <br />City of Orono installs 6 inch pipe which lays upon the surface near <br />intersection and is buried as it approaches the small depression, <br />described as a ponding area. <br />November 16, 1996 Light rain falls, pictures taken to document fact that 90% of the <br />Tonkaview run-off is still coming into the C.R. 19 ditch and <br />ponding in the Sawicki’s lake front lawn. Letter to Gerhardson. <br />January, 1997 <br />April 7, 1997 <br />Peter Schroeder, Allied Adjusters, representing Orono & LMCIT <br />informs us that “we have not been able to conclude that the newly <br />constructed homes have caused run-off to the degree which you <br />have claimed.” Claim for damages denied. <br />Mattke Engineering, hydrology expert reports that the Tonkaview <br />development is responsible for run-off damage to Bessesen & <br />Sawicki homes. Sawicki home is now in greater danger if <br />Tonkaview run-off is not diverted.
