Re: Drainage at 4504 Oak Chase Road
Dear Ms. Blomquist:
I am writing as a follow -up to our conversation this morning regarding the drainage
characteristics in the backyard of your residence. I have reviewed an analysis by
Thatcher Engineering, Inc., as well as a previous analysis completed by the City of
Eagan as part of the response to the July 2000 Storm. The following statements are a
result of my examination of these investigations.
The backyard at 4504 Oak Chase Road is downstream of portions of the contiguous
properties and does not have an overland drainage or piped outlet. Due to this fact, the
backyard collects and ponds overland drainage as a result of significant storm or snow
melt events. In support of official City Council action taken on April 30, 2001, it has
been determined that your property meets City Standards for drainage during a City
standard design (1%) storm event.
Please contact me with any questions or comments. You may reach me at 651- 675 -5646
or rmatthys @cityofeagan.com.
Sincerely,
F -
