We left the 30 feet of easement area level at this time pending the Excel Energy <br /> trenching across this area on Monday after Thanksgiving. We will berm this 30 foot wide area as well after the trenching. The <br /> neighbor will have no reason to not agree that less water comes onto her property than before our demolition (from her Westerly <br /> neighbor). As additional fill becomes available to us we will soften the berming between iYs current ridge and our driveway in a <br /> manner which leaves the drainage directions the way it now is. <br /> I understand that Tom Kellogg will return to our site on his own accord within a week or so to view the progress; which will only <br /> help the process for us. His ideas have always been welcome and helpful to us. <br /> Randy Stern is close to delivering the legal description for the utility easement that I have committed to granting to Orono and the <br /> Utility Companies. Excel is trenching electric, telephone, and cable lines across this area next Monday to service the Westerly <br /> neighbor. <br /> I met the neighbor to the West, who said that she was happy with our grading and clearing out of the `junkyard' (as she referred to <br /> it as) along our common property line with her. She said she felt our property has been neglected for years. She even offered to <br /> speed up the painting of her garage, etc. to help improve the entire common situation. <br /> 1280 Spruce Place. <br /> We actually got the electric and natural gas lines in, and got the landscaping along the Northerly property line somewhat roughed <br /> in. We ran some drain tile along the property line, and graded the common line toward the Lake with a partial rock `wash' in part of <br /> it, and a substantially deep swale in our rear yard cutting around the mature trees along the Lakeshore area to prevent having to <br /> remove any trees. I feel it should work. Ms. Anderson told me recently that earlier this year she had some moisture on the block in <br /> her lower level for the first time. Hopefully this was due to the water blockage along the line from the construction erosion fencing <br /> and hay bale debris. She does have two downspouts from her roof gutters dump into the common property line area. This water <br /> should for the most part be accommodated as well into our drainage swale. We will monitor this situation closely next Spring <br /> although we feel it will work out well. We regret that we missed our targeted sodding this fall, although we got most of the grading <br /> accomplished and Lakeshore Rip-Rap installation. <br /> Thank you for allowing us the ample time to have our projects professionally scheduled and graded. <br /> Spruce Place will be completed this December with final landscaping next May. <br /> North Shore Drive is scheduled for an early June, 2006 total completion. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> Jeffrey Gustafson <br /> Cell 612-964-0015 <br /> 11/28/2005 <br />
