Dale J: IVIcCurdy November 30, 2005 <br /> 4041 North Shore Drive <br /> MoLUld, Mn. 55364 Re: Variance at 4017 NoY-th Sliore Drive <br /> Mr. Greg Gappa: <br /> It has coine to my attentioll that the home ov►nler at 4017 North Shore Drive has <br /> applied for a Variance on lus property.. I have not been notified:of the date for a <br /> Plamvng ColYUnission meeting to discuss tlus variance. We will soon be goulg <br /> south for the wulter and I ain concenled about excavation near l�is west property <br /> lule aud at the north of the house, that I would like addressed at tlle meeting, as <br /> follows. <br /> There is a nahiral. drain,and partial underground stonn sewer that serves properties <br /> west of Higllwood Road, nortll of Co�uity Road 19 and tlu-ee properties east of <br /> Highwood Road. Even though a recently installed pipe now m.oves.stonn water <br /> south to the lake, water still flows to the lake tllrough t}ie old tile pipe wl�en it rauls <br /> or snows. There is a ina.t�ole, on my property, aild I looked down and saw the <br /> water, from Lulder Higllwood Road, flowing tlirough it as recent as tlus week, when <br /> the snow was meltuig. <br /> When t11e sanita.iy sewer was installed, tlu�ough our properties, the stonn tiles were <br /> reinoved and then placed back in the loose soil above the new sanitary sewer pipe, <br /> by dle City or Cotmty contractor. It appears the tiles have suice moved asld are <br /> leakulg, resulting iu sink holes all along the lu1e. Soine patchulg of these til.es has <br /> been done, widl the observation and approval of City persoiulel. <br /> Near the 4017 No1-th Shore Drive west property line witli my house, the su�lc holes <br /> have ei�larged and soon may plug the tiles a.ild die flow of water to t11e lake wi11 be <br /> stopped. There are tiles along the north side of the 40171�ouse t1�at also durnp r�.in <br /> water into th� inau� til� a�1d tl�ere is a �na��hole near the southwest conler of their <br /> house. <br /> I�1 addition to rain fi-om properties west of Highwood road, sui�ace water fi•om 4041 <br /> and 4017 North Sliore Drive and 4051 Higl�wood Road is chauneled tluou� tlus <br /> tile �ipe. Without it tllere would be major stu�face erosion or floodulg oil our <br /> properties. <br />
