Ref: Drainage
Dear Mr. Torgerson,
On Wednesday, August 17 I did an inspection of the drain tile system beneath your driveway.
Both of the inlets to the drain tile were completely closed off with debris, thereby not
permitting proper drainage at that point, and as result flooding your neighbor's property. This
is a violation of the City's Zoning Ordinance, and you are directed to have these inlets cleaned
out no later than August 25, 2011 to permit proper drainage of storm water.
An inspection will be made on that date to verify compliance to the City's Code. If compliance
is not met by that date, the City shall have no other alternative than to take further action to
resolve this problem.
If you have any further questions please call me.
