As the current ioeation stands it is almost invisible to .. <br />all the neighborhood .homes. ancfwhensiding is. completed the shed will not <br />be noticeable tq anyone. . <br /> <br />As the owner of my own excavating, sewer, water connection company Mark <br />asked me to look at the proposed alternate building site proposed by city. <br />Thfs location will caus.e a number of problems the city staff neglected to <br />consider. First, it will take several truckloads of fill to create the size <br />building pad needed and this is. going to affect the drainage and cha.nge . . <br />water drainage and pooling on his.lot and possibly other neighboring lots <br />as well. <br /> <br />. . <br />, Other serious problems the city staff didn't consider in their proposal is <br />that Mark's well is located in the back of his property near the new <br />building location. If the extra fill brought in changes the low area where <br />. water pools each spring it could put standing water near his well casing <br />which might cause serious water quality issues.. <br /> <br />Finally, If Mark ever needs a drill rig to relocate or re-drill his well <br />for wa~er problems in the future it will be impossible to get a well truck <br />. . back into his property to do the work because the shed will be built on the <br />only place to drive the equipil.1ent.in to work on the well. I don't think the <br />city staff ev~n considered these issues. . <br /> <br />I support granting an adjustment that. would let Hilliard k.eep the building <br />. . on the south side of the driveway. It is a location that best uses his lot <br />and will not bother any neighbor and I don't think the citystaff.have <br />considered all the impact of their proposals on mark's property and <br />well system. <br /> <br />Dave Weller <br />15700 Juniper Ridge Drive <br />Ramsey, MN <br />763-422-9074 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />47 <br />
