Transit Ave. TH 694 in Roseville, Little Canada and Channelization, Bit. Surf., and Signal C. S. McCrossan, Inc. Dear Mr. Anderson: asked by Commissioner Braun to respond to your letter of 1982. I have been October 29, and Shoreview Systems (612) 770-2311 In response to your letter, I would like to answer each point in the order you listed them: CONCERN NO. 1: DRAINAGE FROM MY YARD HAS BEEN DEST ,YED THROUGH THE REMOVAL OF PIPE FROM THE YARD TO A r .AINAGE DITCH. The State did remove a metal pipe that was within the highway right of way, but left in place a clay tile pipe on your land which drained into the metal pipe. The outlet of this clay tile pipe wcs temporarily plugged with dirt and has since been cleaned. CONCERN NO. 2: "THE INSTALLATION OF A CATCH BASIN 11 r'ICH DIRECTS FLOWAGE INTO MY YARD COULD CAUSE SERIOUS FLL- ODING. A catch basin was added south of your driveway to drsin a low area of the road and prevent a water pond from developing during rains. The catch basin drains into a ditch on the State's right of way, not onto your land. A review of the area by our Hydraulics Unit indicates that the amount of water entering the catch basin is small, and will not result in flooding to your land. CONCERN NO. 3: "THE ROADWAY ELEVATION HAS BEEN CHAN?.ED WHICH WILL DRAIN ADDITIONAL WATER ONTO MY PROPERTY." The area of water being drained toward your property has not been changed. Water originally drained from the centerline of the road toward your land. Water from the other side of the road is still directed to the west. An Equal Opportunity Employer
