j <br /> Marr.,, 21, 19211 A <br /> To. Thomas J. Jacobs <br /> Building Official <br /> City of clrono <br /> From: Dennis Meyei �l Z <br /> 4731 Northshore Dr. <br /> Mound MN. 55364 <br /> , <br /> A <br /> Dear Mr. Jocobs, <br /> After our conversation in November I acquired a copy of the relevant <br /> plat map. I also had set up a tentative date with someone experienced with, <br /> shooting the elevations that you said would be required- Bad weather on <br /> that day resulted in a cancellation of our appointment. I was planning to <br /> reschedule for the following week, but a family emergency prevented doing <br /> that. The week after that, snow arrived heralding the beginning of winter <br /> weather. In my estimation the snow cover would prevent taking accurate <br /> elevation shots of the parking lot. I have not forgotten about our <br /> agreement and was ready to reschedule this effort when our last snow <br /> arrived. This snow is almost gone and I will schedule the elevation shots <br /> as soon as possible. I will then submit a plan for regrading. <br /> wSince I do not know how quickly I can get the assistance I need to <br /> comalete these plans in a presentable manner, I do not know if I can meet <br /> your April 6th. deadline, but i should be able to finalize the plans by May I. <br /> I will keep you informed of the progress as each step is accomplished. <br /> Executing this plan doec- not mean that I agree with the Idea that the <br /> additional fill added to my parking lot three years ago created a drainage <br /> problem. The problem is a road drainage arobiem accentuated by a poorly <br /> designed drainage system that does not have a catch basin at the lowest <br /> point on the road, inadequate capacity of the storm drain, and efforts <br /> taken uphill such as berms put up at the entrance of driveways to prevent <br /> b �rainage off the road and down these driveways. The drainage problem has <br /> a!vvay existed at the point that the overflow occurred last July, but the <br /> rainfall was never that plentiful before. About two thirds of the parkin-1 <br /> Int was put in under city & county contract after the storm drain was <br /> replaced, to replace the p,,r,-Jng lot that was bulld,,sed down to provide <br /> access of equipment for the installation of the current dram. The eieva�w., <br /> of the gutter at the road edge was put in by the county to match the height <br /> of the road shoulder and the park!^g lot that was out in as part of to s <br /> project This is a signifigant portion of the parking lot that is now judge. <br /> as being too high. <br /> l hope these plans will be acceptable, and I apoligise for not keeping <br /> you informed of my progress. <br /> Sincerely, X9 �n <br /> y�"Q �• l%mac./ <br /> c.c.
