JUN.28. 1999 12:05PM SHEREURNE COUNTY ATTORNEY NO.824 P.3/5 <br /> • Kathy Heany <br /> April 7, 1999 <br /> Page 2 <br /> seeping into the drain through a seam in the cement down pipe. As I said the water collected <br /> at 3 is then moved to the south first into D and then south all the way across the Holzem <br /> property ultimately to the Mississippi. We believe that line going south to be cement and as <br /> large as 24 " in diameter. A third collection drain labeled 2 on the drawing is in the vicinity <br /> of the south edge of the proposed easement. It may be just in or out. Again, it collects water <br /> and moves it to D and then west and then south. <br /> Holzem drainage issues and concerns: <br /> 1. This thick, heavy soil needs drainage. <br /> 2. The line from 1 to D-1 is going to be damaged (destroyed) during construction. <br /> It is not hardened and not buried deep enough to survive. At a very minimum <br /> it will be needed to be replaced by a larger, hardened pipe. <br /> 3. The amount of water that is going to be put into the system will be <br /> significantly greater because of your construction and also because of the <br /> development to the west and north that will be encouraged by your road <br /> expansion. <br /> 4. In order to properly drain into D the collection drains have to be higher than D. <br /> If you lower the ditch there will be obvious problems. The collection drains <br /> can't be used as an overflow allowing water to stand in the ditch because that <br /> water will seep into the adjacent Holzem property and make it unworkable. <br /> Before we would be willing to sell the necessary easement we would need to examine your <br /> drainage plan for this area. We believe it will be necessary to make major improvements to <br /> the existing system in order to prevent your construction from significantly affecting the <br /> remainder of the field. If you have engineering drawings of the proposed drainage please <br /> provide mc with a copy. After my client and I have a chance to review them we may want to <br /> meet with the engineer. Until we are satisfied that the drainage in the after situation will be <br /> appropriate we are unwilling to sell the property. <br /> U-U999 <br /> DATA 00111.WU7n.WPD WAS <br /> • <br />
