I received a recent memo from Tom Peterson and Bonestroo Rosene <br />Anderfik that describes what is going to be done to correct this ongoing issue. I was disappointed to read that the <br />drainage issue would not be resolved. As I review the past correspondence I have regarding this problem I'm <br />disappointed that Tom Peterson is changing his opinion as to what really needs to be done to correct this <br />problem. I have a past memo that was sent to then City Administrator Jim March from Tom Peterson. In that <br />memo Tom did recognize a drainage problem that he felt need to be corrected. Why wasn't it??? The city is <br />responsible for inspecting all lot grading. Why is his changing his mind? It cannot be to save the pine trees in this <br />area, because they are now dying due to excessive water damage. If saving the trees is a priority then maybe the <br />trees should be temporarily removed, the grading re-done, and the trees put back, which is what was done during <br />the Eagle Pass construction. I watched them do this. I fact they forgot to put some of the trees back and left them <br />to die. <br /> <br />As far as the drainage issues I have. I experience standing water every spring due to this problem. This year <br />alone there was standing water from March through mid May. I had to deal with the stench associated with rotting <br />weeds that are now more than 6 feet tall. Misquotes are so dense that it makes it difficult for me to enjoy the back <br />yard that I pay a great deal of money for and continue to pay taxes on, which I might add are still among the <br />highest in the state. <br /> <br />Please tell me that something more can be done! <br /> <br />Thank you! <br />David G Brown <br />1755 Meadow Lane <br />Centerv;IIe, MN 55038 <br />651-407-6332 <br />763-689-1212, wk <br /> <br />7/28/2004 <br />
