. / CITY OF ARDEN HILLS . 1450 WEST HIGHWAY 96 ARDEN HILLS, MN 55112-5794 July 15, 1993 Ms. Heidi Fessler Franke and Riach 200 Rosedale Tower 1700 West Highway 36 Roseville, Minnesota 55113 Re: Drainage Problems at 1143 Ingerson Road Dear Ms. Fessler: On conclusion of our conversation on July 13, 1993. I reinvestigated the drainage problem at the home of Ms. Mable Gluesing, 1143 Ingerson Road. With the weather having recently rained that day, I walked the drainage route from Carlton Drive to Ms. Gluesings property. Walking from that direction and the drainage being evident the . entire distance, no abnormal pattern was found, My viewing of the terrain and landscaping of 1148 Carlton Drive found no daming intentionally or unintenionally created on this property. The terrain was evenly pitched from Carlton Drive to the 1143 Ingerson property line, This investigation included the interviewing of neighbors where the drainage course occurs: Ms. Susan Meneghel, 1155 Ingerson Road Mrs. Donald Severson, 1158 Carlton Drive Mrs. Pushpa Kathir, 1148 Carlton Drive All parties indicated that no fill was placed in the drainage route. Meneghel and Severson stated that 1143 Ingerson has had a on- going drainage problem with ponding occuring in the questioned area for 30 to 40 years. Prior conversations with Ms. Gluesing have also indicated this to be true. It is my conclusion that 1143 Ingerson Road retains drainage due to insufficient filling and grading of the property created at the time of building the house and the possibility of further sinking of the terrain caused by the roots of the large Weeping Willow tree located in the ponding area. . It is my feeling that Ms. G1uesing could correct this problem by filling, grading and reseeding the affected area to match the slope of her neighbors. Conversations with Mr. Kathir indicated this would be agreeable to him verses the forced drainage caused by the digging of the ditches. PHONE: 1612J 633-5676 . FAX 1612J 633.7839
