Contractors Corp. <br />Our File: 35642 <br />.,,e: mer, Cas,rrell, Parks & Beck <br />Attorneys/at Iaw <br />9 <br />r <br />J -,; a ivhipe Bear Avenue <br />St, 'aul., Minnesota 55106 <br />Attention: Mr. Clayton Parks, Jr. <br />De:-ir `^:r. Parks: <br />CITY OF <br />LITTLE CANADA <br />3eferring to your letter of November 10, 1978, I would like to <br />note several discrepencies in the facts that were related to you. <br />Gn August 23, 1978 I inspected the damage, along with Mr. Homer <br />Dole at his residence, 672 LaBore Road, Little Canada, Minnesota. <br />Nr. Dole stated to me at that time that the collapse of the basement <br />wall on the north side of his home was caused by Centerrial Contractors <br />vibrating equipment used to compact the road prior to surfacing it. <br />1 was with Mr. Dole that afternoon and at no time did he mentioned <br />anything about surface water runoff causing this loss. <br />If you have taken the time to inspect Mr. Dole's property you will <br />note that it is approximately 3 feet lower than the surface road <br />level and sits on a very steeply inclined lot with a walkout on the <br />back side of the basement. This is an ideal situation for surface <br />water runoff, causing collapse of the basement. <br />Also, I am sure Mr. Dole's basement may have had cracks, being close <br />to a busy road which occured over a period of years. With this heavy <br />surface runoff not necessarily being aided and abetted by our insured. <br />The basement on the north side simply collapsed sue to hydrostatic <br />pressure. <br />Our insured's engineer, Ewald Biese of Carle Engineering inspected thi <br />runoff problem after the incident and instructed Maynard Tebin, our <br />DULUTH OFFICE <br />728 CAST SUPERIOR <br />55802 <br />21E-727-8731 <br />FARIBAULT OFFICE <br />POST OFFICE BOX 33 <br />55021 <br />507 - 334 -5672 <br />
