Rice Street <br />Shoreview, MN 55126 <br />(612) 484 -9104 • Fax 482-5232 <br />On May 19, 1998, I met with several residents on Maple Leaf Court to discuss a drainage <br />problem behind the homes on the east side of the street just south of County Road D. <br />Dolores Knoche contacted me after a couple of children needed assistance exiting a gully <br />located along a drainageway behind her home. At our initial meeting, I committed to <br />reviewing available information and meeting again with residents, which I did on <br />June 4. <br />Scott Tangen of your staff and Pat Conrad of the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed <br />District provided me with information on the development plan. I reviewed the plan and <br />toured the drainage area (cf. enclosed drainage map). The drainageway receives water <br />from 2 culverts; one under County Road D and the other under Maple Leaf Court, and <br />direct drainage from the south half of County Road D east of Maple Leaf Court. The <br />combined discharge flows along the south side of County Road D into a drainage <br />easement (cf. plat map) which includes the eastern portion of the lots on the east side of <br />Maple Leaf Court. <br />Stormwater flows throughout the drainage system are relatively dispersed until <br />concentrated at the culverts. A drainage swale is also present behind the homes on the <br />west side of Maple Leaf Ct. All of the parking lot drainage from the apartment building <br />on the north side of County Road D appears to exit the driveway and then flows west to a <br />single catch basin and then under County Road D to the south. The approximate <br />contributing area from Ramsey County right of way (County Road D and Labore north of <br />County Road D) is 1.41 acres. <br />\drainage\mapl fct.doc <br />PAGE 122 <br />Minn <br />Printed on retinae Pew ..qt. • <br />0 <br />
