CITY of ORONO <br /> Post Office Box 66�Crystal Bay,lVlinnesota 55323•Municipal O�ces <br /> • <br /> • ' • • On the North Shore of Lake Minneto�eka <br /> November 14, 1990 <br /> Tom Felcyn <br /> G.A.B. <br /> 9531 West 78th Street <br /> Suite 220 <br /> Eden Prairie, MN 55344 <br /> Re: Cuff Residence, 3572 Livingston Avenue <br /> Dear Mr. Felcyn: <br /> As you requested, here is a description of the foundation <br /> problems at the above referenced property. The main part of the <br /> house could be 50-70 years old and originally had only a frost <br /> footing. At some point the southeast cvrner of the basement was <br /> dug out and an 8" block wall was layed up along side of the <br /> original (see drawings ). The southwest corner was not dug out <br /> and was left a crawl space. The northeast corner is also a crawl <br /> space with a kitchen addition on pier footings. The northwest <br /> corner is a full basement with a newer block foundation that <br /> seems to be in good condition. <br /> It is my opinion that saturated soil may have increased the <br /> possibility of failure, but this was also a poor design which I <br /> have seen fail many times in the past without saturated soil and <br /> drainage problems. I also feel that this property has drainage <br /> prob lems that are not related to the street drainage problem (see <br /> drawings). If you have any questions, please feel free to <br /> contact me at my office. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> c3�..t �� � <br /> U <br /> Lyle Oman, <br /> Senior Building Inspector ; <br /> LO/tln � <br /> cc: Mark E.
