<br />• <br />Attachment E <br />August 22, 2005 <br />«Title» <br />«Address1» <br />Mounds View, MN 55112 <br />RE: Drainage Easement located in the back of your property <br />Dear «Title»: <br />~t u ~ n~~ <br />b <br />GL~~Y~r; <br />•A v. <br />^~Brpjt , P:irtneRti.QS <br />Located in the back of your property is a storm sewer drainage easement- This easement was <br />created to allow rain-water, melted snow, etc, in the area between Bona Road and Edgewood <br />Drive to flow to a storm sewer located on County Road H. Unfortunately due to improper grading, <br />settling and obstructions, this drainage easement is not functioning properly; it is not draining as <br />intended. <br />The City of Mounds View will eventually be conducting maintenance on the easement, located on <br />your property, to restore its function to ensure proper drainage. All easement activities will take <br />place in the back yards of the properties that have the said easement. (See copy of map) <br />• The City Council recently adopted an "Easement Use and Restoration Policy"; please see the <br />enclosed copy. <br />The "Easement Use and Restoration Policy" allows the City to remove any obstacles within that <br />easement area. This includes, but is not limited to, fences, playgrounds, pools, and gardens. If <br />your property contains items that require removal, these items will not be replaced. Due to the <br />nature and the function of any drainage easement, items should not be placed or constructed in <br />an easement area. Also, it should be noted that for any future maintenance activities, any item in <br />a drainage easement will be required to be removed. <br />IMPORTANT <br />The City is having the properties surveyed on Friday, August 26, 2005. Please do not <br />remove the survey stakes from the property until grading is complete. <br />At this time, the City is in the preliminary stages of the drainage easement cleaning and we <br />do not have a timeline for the actual maintenance work. <br />A neighborhood meeting will be conducted to inform all of the property owners on when the <br />maintenance is scheduled to begin. (This meeting will be at least 30 days before any work will <br />begin on site.) <br />If you have any questions or concerns, make note of them for the neighborhood meeting or if you <br />have individual concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-717-4063. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nick Flesichhacker <br />• Surface Water Division <br />Mounds View Public Works Department <br />Enclosures <br />
