<br />Page 2 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />then the cur=ent direct route across Lot 9. Also, the <br />homeowner ina~cated that a portion of the area that ponded <br />water on his lo~ will be e~cavated OUt to aaa pona~ng capacitY <br />on his property. Increasing the ponding on his property should <br />further reduce the ponding on yours. <br /> <br />Lastly, although the spillway from Highland Road was in place <br />long before you bought your lot, however, the City plans on <br />removing ~ t. Thus, once water from L0t 9 goes to the street <br />it will not end up in your lot, reducing even further the total <br />volume of water now naturally finding its way to your lot. <br /> <br />I am concerned about material that "t-OU placed on the side. <br />slopes of the loW' area of your lot. This material appeared to <br />have a large amount of clay in it. Sediment from that clay <br />will fill up the bottom of the loW' area on your lot reducing <br />the absorption capacity of that area. If that material was <br />indeed made up of clay, I recommend that you take measures to <br />keep it from the bot tom of the low area on your property for <br />your own sake. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The letter you sent me was dated September 25, 1991. I <br />received it at Elk River City Hall, Friday, October 4, 1991- <br />In this letter you indicate that the City has five days t.;:) <br />respond to your letter or you will proceed to fill your lot. <br />Be on notice, that a grading permit is required for such an <br />activity. We need a specific grading plan for you to fill. <br />You must demonstrate that you will not alter the natural <br />drainage in the area in a way that will adversely affect <br />adjacent properties as your neighbor on Lot 9 had to do. <br />Filling the low area on your lot without a grading permit is in <br />violation of the Elk River City Code. Giving a five day <br />ultimatum does not make it a legal act. <br /> <br />In summary, I'm sure you will have to agree, the City <br />adequately aaaressed your concerns about additional water <br />ponding on your property due to the home being constructed on <br />Lot 9, Block 4, Ridgewood East Third Addition. If you have <br />further questions, please feel f=ee to call me at 441-i420. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />~lr~ <br /> <br />Building & Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />SRlsm <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />cc: Marly Glines, John Oliver & Associates <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br />
