Box 66 �' <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway O��RONO <br /> Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br /> Attention: Building Inspector <br /> RE: Water run-off from 2500 Casco point Road <br /> As the home owner of property located at 2500 Casco Point <br /> I am responding to a letter I was copied on regarding water run off from our property sent <br /> to you from Beverly Morris. (Copy enclosed). <br /> I regret to learn that Beverly Moms continues to ha�e water run off related problems on <br /> her property. The problem is created by factors we do not control, as her property is <br /> located less then 3 feet away from the property line we share, and the natural slope of the <br /> elevation that has always existed between the two properties. Given the time of year the <br /> water issues experienced on February 9th would appear to be related to the frozen ground, <br /> combined with melting snow cover, elevation of her property, and close proximity to the <br /> common lot line rather then the construction of our home. <br /> The daughter of Beverly Morris directed these same concerns regarding water run off to <br /> the former owners of the property and city authorities in the past, and repeated them <br /> again to us and city ofFcials soon after we purchased the property in September 2007. <br /> Her concerns with water run off were shared with our contractor and with the city <br /> planning commission and are a matter of public record. We brought her concerns <br /> forward when we applied for a variance to build on the property and once again when we <br /> pursued our permit to build. We did not pursue a variance through the planning <br /> commission. We withdrew the request when we submitted the plans for the complying <br /> home that now resides on the property when we obtained the required permits to build. <br />
