OCT 10 RM TO: City of Centerville,MN FROM: Randy J. Mancuso 7227 Clear Ridge Centerville, MN 55038 Home Phone: 429 -9331 RE: Partial financial reimbursement for bank stabilization on Clearwater Creek as it pertains to my property. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN; I am requesting a one third financial reimbursement of my cost of $7900 for rip rapping of Clearwater Creek as it runs through my property. The Rice Creek Watershed District has already approved one third funding for this project. Contrary to the city's stated beliefs that the larger culverts installed on Main Street as it passes over the creek would not increase flow, the water volume and speed has noticeably increased, accelerating the erosion process. The new housing developments upstream will obviously contribute to the increased water volume in the creek due to the added run off. I am therefore forced to stabilize my creek bank to prevent the washing away of my property. I would hope that the City of Centerville will financially support my efforts as I believe that the city's development is partially responsible for the present and future status of this portion of my property. Other municipalities have contributed to similar projects, as stated by the Rice Creek Watershed District. If this requires a hearing before the city council, please schedule me for this. I am hoping these monies will be included in next years budget. Reimbursement would not be expected for this year. I look forward to your response to this letter, and the opportunity of presenting my case before the city council personally. Resp y Yours; Randy I M�icus�
