I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I November 8, 1984 Clayton R. Berg Building Inspector Administrative Offices City of Ramsey 15153 NW Nowthen Boulevard Ramsey, MN 55303 Dear Mr. Berg: We live at 6320 163rd Lane NW, lot 2, block 4 of Menkveld's Country Park, Ramsey, Minnesota. The subject of this letter is lot 3, block 4, property adjoining ours directly to the east and owned by Gene and Margaret Kellogg, 6290 163rd Lane NW, lot 4, block 4. Lot 3 carries on it a drainage easement which also is immediately to the east and boarders on our property. The Kelloggs are seeking to have the city vacate this drainage easement. The easement is apparently on the lowest spot of Menkveld's Country Park and we presume exists for the good of the public to provide for collection of water runoff. Amy alteration to the current law of the land, on which the easement is located, by change of contour or elevation, could affect the drainage properties of the land and divert water to our land. Our drain field and garden would be affected or possibly rendered useless. This is our concern. We have no objection to the easement being vacated, provided the city guarantee, in writing, that the land will not be altered, causing the above-mentioned situation. In other words, we should be provided the same safeguards we enjoy under the protection of the easement. This would then provide us an avenue of recourse in the future, if needed. We ask that this letter be included in the minutes of your next official discussion on this matter. Sincerely, Beverly J. St4 lnhauser David J. ~teinhauser Homeowner~, 6320 163rd Lane NW, Ramsey, MN cc: Gene and Margaret Kellogg
