additional traffic on our roads, the 2 most involved homes in this plan would be our <br />home and our neighbor at 8100 151st LN NW. <br />We are the homes that have Easements on our properties for the storm water <br />drainage for the 50+ home area known as Whispering Pines Estates. I have seen the <br />plot layout of my property and adjacent properties. These easements are in my back <br />yard, front yard and side yard that extends beyond the end of the cul de sac into the <br />2 properties including that of 15060 Armstrong Blvd. There is a property document <br />the City sent out that has this all layed out. The storm water run-off area was <br />highlighted in light green. <br />I have lived here since 1992. The marshy area that would have the cul de sac <br />extension go over it has been known as a storm water run-off/wetland area. A <br />previous owner of 8100 151st told me he had spoken to the original owner of the <br />home at 15060 Armstrong Blvd. They had inquired about building at the end of the <br />cul de sac on the westside of their property initially. They were denied because it is <br />the storm water run-off area for the entire Whispering Pines neighborhood. There <br />used to be flinches to 1 foot of standing water. Now, since the Vegetation has grown, <br />the water isn't a pond, it is an area that is marshy in the spring to summer months. <br />The County of Anoka, every year, come and put pellets in the water for mosquito <br />control. Thus, I believe, it is listed somewhere as a wetland area. <br />There are manmade berms in the wooded area to slow the water that comes <br />downhill from the Armstrong Blvd area. This water winds around and also ends in <br />the storm water run-off/wetland area. This is to prevent our 2 yards from being <br />flooded during the rainy season, stormy weather and winter thaw. Both of our yards <br />have our drain fields on the Eastside and we would like it if the water DID NOT <br />back up into our yards and have problems. The cul de sac proposed would be built <br />going uphill. That would add even more water run-off for the area that they are <br />eliminating. You would be getting rid of all of the grown vegetation in the area so it <br />will revert back to being a pond. Except, the area would now be a cul de sac. <br />Therefore I expect that my yard would have about a foot of standing water in it after <br />a snowy winter and a rainy spring. We would really like to avoid that! <br />I hope you will take all of my concerns under consideration and thouroughly <br />investigate them before you approve any plan for this development. Below you will <br />find questions we would like answers to. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dave Hlavka <br />
