Carley, P.E. <br />Vice President <br />Milner W. Carley & Assoc., Inc. <br />500 West Highway 96 <br />St. Paul, MN 55112 <br />Bruce A. Folz and Associates <br />14791 - 60th St. <br />Stillwater, MN 55082 <br />Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: <br />I suggested to Little Canada that they enlarge the lagoon <br />in front of my house to my Eastern boundary line. At the <br />same time I suggested they widen and deepen the drainage <br />canal between my two lots and excavate another similar <br />canal on the eastern boundary of my eastern lot. <br />I felt this would impove the drainage of the whole area <br />as well as to provide additional water storage. Besides <br />these benefits it was agreed that it would improve the <br />beauty of the area as the people on Greenbrier Circle would <br />be looking out on a small lake instead of rank weeds <br />and marsh grass. <br />This was accepted as a good idea by Little Canada and,of <br />course, they had to clear it through you. <br />It hasn't worked out to be quite the scenic plus that we <br />had in mind because they merely skimmed off the top <br />layer instead of going deep enough to provide a water area <br />in all seasons as I did when I created the lake in the first <br />place. Instead, in the dry period of the Summer, the residents <br />of Greenbrier Circle, looked out on a mud flat -then when the <br />rains came the weeds grew up and now they are looking out <br />on a weed and water covered mud flat. <br />1 <br />
