<br />," . <br /> <br />~ The checkered areas you see are the areas that drain directly <br />to Langdon Lake. The upper area on the other side of County Road <br />C near Cleveland is being reviewed as part of the overall study of <br />this area. It does not drain directly to Langdon, but to the <br />county pond and then later joins the Langdon Lake water as they <br />meet up under Highway 35W. The Langdon Lake waters flow to Wilson <br />Pond through previously approved improvements, out to 35W, and <br />then go northerly to lakes in New Brighton. This area along <br />Cleveland does the same. It comes to this pond, goes to 35~ and <br />then joins the Langdon Lake water further to the north. <br /> <br />I'd like to begin by reviewing some of the problems that were <br />identified, or at least some of the concerns that were identified, <br />and then attempt to show some of the steps that were being proposed <br />to meet these concerns. Maybe we can take some of the easier ones <br />firsto <br /> <br />Along Cleveland Avenue, south of C, there is an existing <br />open drain system that runs on the east side of Cleveland. <br />That's had quite a bit of erosion in past years and has eaten <br />away this channel. <br /> <br />Secondly, there is a home at this location that at one time <br />(inaudible) and has a culvert that runs under there. I can't begin <br />to tell you when that culvert was lower than the drainage system, <br />and there's standing water each spring and after every heavy rain. <br /> <br />A second sort of common concern of that nature was here at <br />Fairview. Here's County Road D. As you come southerly a little <br />ways on Fairview, there's a home where the water runs, theoretically <br />past the home and I think, through the garage, gets to the back <br />yar~o puddles around until it finally builds up enough height to <br />run into some other yards and out again to 2airview. It's <br />repetitive ponding in the home areas themselves. The entire area <br />along Fairview is being served by ditches and culverts and it <br />spills through some sort of natural drainage technique after it <br />goes under the road and reaches the northern portion of Langdon <br />Lake. <br /> <br />There are also some poorly drained areas at the Mildred - <br />Lydia intersection, and some water that runs northerly across the <br />residential properties at County Road C-2 just west of Pairviewo <br />It goes under a culvert through a large open ditch system at this <br />northeast corner of Mildred and C-2, under to a low marshy area <br />~here it eventually exists into Langdon Lake, causing not only <br /> <br />2 <br />
