There are a few others that own rental <br />property in the area that feel the same way. There response was <br />to increase the tenants rent to pay for the project. Most of <br />the residents in the area feel that there is a real drainage <br />problem on Livingston Ave in general. <br />As for Mark and I, we have water on 3 sides of our house, and <br />flowing through both of our lots (16 & 17 block 3) most every <br />time it rains. Our sump pump is running corit i nuous 1 y when we get <br />mere than 1/4 inch of rain and it can not keep up with the <br />amount of water coming in. This causes water to stand in our <br />basement anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of overflow from the sump <br />pump hole. <br />The amount of water standing in the street is causing damage to <br />the street its-self. The asphalt is breaking and sinking. <br />During the winter months any melting turns to a frozen lake. <br />This is a hazard to anyone driving or walking over this area. <br />It has also created an un-safe play area for the neighborhood <br />chi 1dren. <br />Anyone with water in their basements mere than once in a great <br />while looses resale value of their property. If this drainage <br />system was installed it would correct this problem for may <br />residents of the area. <br />I have not been able to speek to everyone on the 1ist for the <br />assessed project. Between my schedule and their's it is not easy <br />to get a hold of everyone. <br />I look forward to meeting with you on August 22 at my <br />over any questions and show you the areas affected. <br />home to go <br />Sincerely, <br />Karen Cuff, <br />Mark Bernhardson <br />Anthony Gleekel
