Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> June 28, 1995 <br /> Donnell and Henrieta Thomas <br /> 585 Orchard Park Road <br /> Long Lake, Minnesota 55356 <br /> The Orono staff has recently completed an inspection of the local watershed of your <br /> neighborhood. The inspection resulted from concerns raised by the owner of the property <br /> located at 665 Orchard Park Road advising of severe flooding problems on their property. Refer <br /> to the drainage map enclosed, drainage runs from the north to the south through the rear yard <br /> of your property to a culvert beneath the driveway at the Weestrand property located at 525 <br /> Orchard Park Road eventually to the wetland. <br /> The engineer noted recent filling on your property that has restricted the historic and natural <br /> flow of drainage through your property causing major flooding problems for the Pidgeon <br /> property to the north. Restricting or blocking the flow of natural drainage is in violation of State <br /> statute. We must ask that you contact the City offices so that we may arrange to meet with you <br /> and the City Engineer in order to quickly resolve the flooding problems of your neighbor and <br /> remove the violation. <br /> You are asked to contact my office no later than Monday, July 10th so that we can arrange to <br /> meet at the City offices to determine the best method of restoring drainage for the watershed. <br /> If you have any questions pertaining to this matter, please feel free to contact my office. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jeanne A.
