Reconstruction will create additional issues far Karth <br />Lake, and new drainage ponds, if not done properly, couid alsa create additional issues. What <br />is fhe estimated displacement of runoff as opposed to the existing situation and reasoning? I'm <br />pretty sure we have had at least one 100 year storm this summe� and have not had any issues <br />with the handling of the runoff. We would expect any contract to define ful( responsibi(i#y for <br />any issues or faiiures in new systei�is. <br />- The east end of the road is in much better condition than from Hamline to Dellwo�d Streef, <br />clearly indicating the excessive additional road traffic from the neighborhood to the nor#h of us. <br />
