COPY <br />July 14 1993 <br />Mr. John Gerhardson <br />Public Works Director <br />City of Orono <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 #19 <br />Subject:Water Problems on Kelly Avenue <br />Dear John: <br />It was a pleasure speaking with you today about our problems with the standing water in <br />front of our homes on Kelly Avenue. As we said, the warm, dry season doesn’t appear to <br />be coming which has somewhat taken care cf this problem in past years. Instead, there <br />has been up to one foot of standing water in tlie road which has resulted in cars getting <br />stuck in an attempted "shortcut" over my lawn, resulting in tow trucks ripping up more of <br />my yard. We cannot get to our mail boxes except by four wheel drive, and on one <br />occasion, guests had their car flooded as the water came up over the sill in their car door, <br />resulting in a sprained ankle when abandonment was necessary. 1 could go on but my <br />intention is not to gripe, but to hopefully propose and be part of the solution. <br />In our discussions, I understand a costly alternative consists of a storm sewer which <br />would mean both allot of time, and money assessed to homeowners. I would like to <br />propose a quicker, less costly fix which would consist of raising the road slightly in the <br />affected area. <br />Please review our concerns and let us know if there is anything else we may do to help <br />you take care of the water ponding problems. <br />Sincerely, <br />William J. Stoddard <br />2605 Kelly Avenue <br />Orono, MN 55331 <br />N
