-• G:.�`r..:._. <br /> �)C T 0 1 2007 <br /> To Whomever it may Concern, <br /> <;iTY OF ORONO <br /> I am the current property owner of 285 Crestview Avenue. In 2001,the City granted approval to vacate <br /> the unimproved dedicated right-of-way Hill Street, between 285 and 315 Crestview Avenue(Resolution <br /> Number 4706). Each property owner granted the City a 10' drainage and utility easement within the <br /> vacated right-of-way—5'on each side of the new shared lot line. <br /> My problem is that the City is not using the easement for drainage, and my yard is the dumping ground <br /> for water that would not normally be flowing into it, and which is making its way to my well, and <br /> following the well pipes into my house. The City installed a "holding tank" in the ground for Tom Betz to <br /> empty his sump pumps into, and put drain tile across his 50'of property, under"his" driveway,which is <br /> actually an unvacated part of Hill Street still owned by the City, and ran a culvert across the street,that <br /> dumps into my yard. <br /> Don has said the City would swale my property so the water would run through, but when I said it would <br /> then go right into Skoog's house, he told me that would be Skoog's problem—NOT the answer I wanted <br /> to hear. Skoog already runs 2 sump pumps in his basement. <br /> If the City can't figure out how to use their drainage easement,then I would suggest that the path of <br /> water be drain tiled. Phil Skoog wants the water to come into his property at the"X"-because then it <br /> would be directed to go down hill—to Tonka Avenue. Perhaps we could even tie it in with my existing <br /> drain tile for the sump pump from my house, which also comes into Skoogs property in that same area. <br /> Sandra Niccum <br />
