Albert C. Greig <br />137 Chevy Chase Drive <br />Wayzata MN 55391 <br />June 21, 1989 <br />iwc.j2^7r <br />yUf-^^ /i4S;c6iA>, ^v^#cx t-r^ "^**T_ <br />Attached is a report from Mr. Gerald Sunde, Professional <br />Engineer, concerning the proposed water retention area adjacent <br />to the rear property line of lots # 19 and # 20 in Hilloway <br />Manor. Please note that the report confirms the statements I <br />made at the Orono Council meeting on June 12, 1989. Those <br />statements were; <br />1 “ the water could overflow the berm and run into lots # 19 <br />and # 20 from the west to the east, a distance of about 225 feet <br />of which 160 feet would be on my property <br />2 - the water retained in the retention area could affect <br />the water table and cause a water problem in my basement. The <br />vertical distance from my basement floor is as follows: <br />a) to bottom of drain pipe - 7.4' approx. <br />b) to overflow on weir - 10.3* approx. <br />c) to top of berm - 11.8' approx. <br />My house is 100' from the rear property line. Therefore the <br />distance from the house to the water is about 130' at the 974' <br />elevation contour Inside the area. <br />If this water retention plan is approved, I would like to know <br />and have it confirmed in <br />damage to my yard and to <br />consist of expenses to <br />floor and a sump pump, <br />installa^ion. <br />writing who will be liable for any water <br />my house. Damage to the house could <br />install a drain field under the concrete <br />plus loss of value because of such <br />Also, I would like to know whose responsibility it will be to <br />keep the 4* pipe clear of obstructions that would hinder or <br />eliminate the flow of water. The Planning Commission stated at <br />one point that the retention area would be put under an easement <br />end that the city would do the work, if not done by the property <br />owner and charge the expense to the owner Would this be so?
