Dear Mr. Karonberg:
On May 27, 1971, I issued you a permit for three loads
of fill and warned you that any filling, grading or
altering of existing grade required a conditional use
permit. This is of particular importance on lakeshore
and in the watershed, both of which are part of your
premises. I also asked for the removal of debris from
the project along the gully beside your house.
I have been asked by people boating around the lake as
to the nature of your project on the lakeshore and also
note in passing, that kkere still is debris along, the
Igully.
I am enclosing a copy of Municipal Ordinance No. 125
with particular emphasis on sections 31. 700 , 31.705,
31.710 and 31.880.
If I do not hear from you in five days on this matter,
it will be referred to the Village Attorney for compliance
enforcement.
Sincerely yours ,
Mike Scheller

Re: 47,31 North Shore Drive, Orono
Fill/Drainage Along North Shore Drive
Dear Mr . Meyer ,
on November b, 1987 I met with you at the above subject
property to eveluate the drainage problem you have created. At
that meeting I asked if you had filled `he area, at which time
you indicated you had.
I discussed the matter of surface runoff being directed to
neighboring property and that you must submit a plan of
correcting this matter .
As of this date I have not received any plans or seen any
corrective action being taken.
I am writing this letter to inform you that plans to correct
this matter must be submitted to the City within twenty (20) days
(April 6, 1988) . If you fail to comply witli this order citations
will be issued for work done without permits and the matter
referred to the City Attorney for appropriate legal action.
If you have any questions on this matter please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,
Thomas J. Jacobs

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