. This time we are not cleaning it up ourselves and if it is not cleaned up (or we do not hear from you) by Monday <br /> noon (August 23rd) we intend to employ a firm to do so along with the sewer service firm. We would expect <br /> you to pay for the cost of the cleanup. <br /> More importantly, we feel it is essential to "cap" the raw excavation and finish the appropriate grading NOW to <br /> prevent this from being a reoccurring issue. In the alternative, another solution might be to remove back-fill <br /> from the garage foundation sufficient to make the dirt be lower than the patio by at least a foot and to keep it <br /> that way after every rain. <br /> We are asking that the City of Orono inspect the property now and review with you what plan you will <br /> implement to ensure that there will be no further runoff of mud from the project onto our patio and into our <br /> drains during the remainder of the construction. <br /> After seeing the roof lines and the amount of water that will come off of the structure (especially with the <br /> garage roof sloping toward the patio) we are growing skeptical that the final grading and existing plan will <br /> prevent water from flowing on-to our patio unless the end-cap is actually a concrete wall. It appears you <br /> intended to use the salvaged timbers as end cap material and that definately would not prevent the water <br /> from flowing on-to our patio. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Ron& Pat Dudley <br /> 3125 Casco Circle <br /> Orono, MN 55391 <br /> --- On Sat, 8/8/09, Ronald G Dudley <ron_dudley@biz-transformations.com>wrote: <br /> From: Ronald G Dudley <ron_dudley@biz-transformations.com> <br /> Subject: Drainage Problem <br /> To: "Eric" <Eric@Stonewood.com> <br /> Cc: "Evelyn Turner" <ETurner@ci.orono.mn.us>, "Tom Kellogg" <tom.kellogg@bonestroo.com>, <br /> "Sven Gustafson" <sven@stonewood.com> <br /> Date: Saturday, August 8, 2009, 4:33 PM <br /> Saturday August 8, 2009 <br /> Eric.....I am the owner of the property (3125 Casco Circle) next door to Fred Peters on the North. You left a <br /> card in my door indicating you are the construction project manager and to contact you if I have any questions <br /> or concerns. <br /> As you are likely aware from Sven, my only reservation about the project was the subject of run-offwater onto <br /> my property and the part of my patio covered by an easement. I was assured by Sven that the proposed plan and <br /> grading would prevent a water run off. The prevention was to include a graded "swale" to direct water away <br /> from the adjacent patio and end capping to prevent errosion of the easement. <br /> The back-fill and grading that was done did not appear to be in conformance with the plan. It rained last night <br /> and I awoke this morning with about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of mud on the patio and covering one of my patio drains <br /> completely. The "swale" was mostly washed out onto the patio. I am attaching a number of pictures showing thf <br /> situation. I am certain the swale was not properly done as dirt was at an elevation above the patio floor. I had <br /> put some rocks and a piece of railroad tie I had cut to help prevent dirt from running onto the patio but it just <br /> 2 <br />
