City of <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator <br />Steve Ach, City Planner <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Ad~~ <br />December 18, 1995 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Heritage Landing Drainage <br /> <br />During this past summer, there was a ~eat deal of discussion regarding the <br />drainage problems associated with the Heritage Landing plats. Apparently, <br />sections of Heritage Landing I and Heritage Landing II were not g-faded <br />according to the approved grading plans. When this happens, drainage <br />problems are the result. <br /> <br />I am not "up to speed" on all of the drainage problems with these plats or <br />what all has transpired between the developers, engineers, and the city <br />regarding the Fading and drainage issues this past summer. However, this <br />past fall I did go out a number of times, once with Steve Ach a_nd Terry <br />Maurer, to look at the area between Mr. Kincanon's home and the new homes <br />to the north (two of which are owned by the Zerwases and the Eberts). <br /> <br />After looking at the situation, it became clear that people bought lots and <br />built homes and then a drainage ditch appeared on their rear lot line that <br />was not planned or anticipated. To me, this does not seem fair. A bigger <br />concern is the vision I have of the Deerfield III water situation happening <br />again. As you know, with the Deerfield III situation, the city spent in excess <br />of $150,000 to fix a residential drainage issue. <br /> <br />I would like for you both to know that on October 17, 1995, I called Mr. <br />Denny Chuba and offered city assistance to fix the drainage problem in this <br />above noted area and to improve the aesthetics of the lots. I advised M_r. <br />Chuba that the city would pay 50 percent of the cost to install a drainage <br />pipe and regrade the lots in this area. I noted that the total estimated cost <br />for the work was in the $16,000 to $18,000 range. The response from Mr. <br />Chuba was that everything is working fine and that he doesn't see any need <br />to correct any drainage in this area. However, he did note that Mr. t<incanon <br />was out of town and that he would discuss this offer and situation with him. <br />I did not receive a return phone call from Nix. Chuba regarding my verbal <br />proposal to share the expenses to correct the drainage and aesthetic problem. <br /> <br />13065 O~'ono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River.
