January 3, 1995 <br />To: Joel Hansen, City Administrator and to the Members of the City Council of <br />Little Canada <br />From: Curtis Swanson, 2395 Reidmond Avenue <br />Re: Replacement of retaining wall at entrance to Dianna Lane <br />Attached is a petition requesting replacement of the retaining walls at the corner of Dianna <br />Lane and County Road B -2 with keystone blocks. Keystone blocks are the most desirable <br />materials for retaining walls for the following reasons: <br />1. Durability - Block walls should last 25 to 30 years. <br />2. Maintenance free. <br />3. Very attractive in appearance. <br />There was great concern regarding the one -to -one sloping wall: <br />1. Safety - Children could be sliding down the sloped wall into the street and <br />possibly be injured. <br />2. It would require quite a lot of maintenance from washing, etc. <br />3. The wild flowers, grasses and sumac planted would become a patch of weeds <br />after a few years. <br />4. This would not be a very attractive entrance to an area of very expensive homes. <br />I trust the council will respond favorably to the request of the petitioners. <br />Respectfully yours, <br />rSwanson " w�) <br />Page 125 <br />
