MN 55110 This is to confirm our telephone conversation regarding the above referenced project. We have reviewed the specification booklet on the crematorium, the existing drawings and the applicable codes. We have also talked to Gene Bender at Bender Sheet Metal who is the Mechanical Contractor. We offer the following comments. The crematorium has a U.L. listing so it should qualify as a gas burning appliance similar to a boiler. The crematorium should be installed in a two hour rated room. All ducts penetrating the walls or ceiling of this room should have fire dampers installed. Please note that the input to the crematorium is 1,600,000- 2,000,000 BTUs and this room may require two exits. This requirement should be checked with the Local Building Inspector. The gas train to the crematorium should meet the requirements of the Minnesota Codes and the Owners Insurance Company. The unit should be placed in a location where the flue can go straight up thru the roof. The flue should also be placed in a two hour rated chase where it goes thru the upper floor. Code required clearances must be maintained from the flue from any combustible materials. This should be a minimum of 6 Page 2 Date June 1, 1993 RE: Southwest Funeral Home Crematorium Fresh air will be required for combustion and cooling. The combustion air opening required would be a free area of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU of input or 500 square inches of free area. The 36" X 36" louver recommended by the manufacturer would be more than adequate. A 36 X 18 duct should go from the louver to 12" above the floor. A 36 X 12 opening should be provided at the floor and 36 X 12 opening should be provided at the ceiling. While a motorized damper in the louver interlocked with the crematorium is not required by code we would recommend that one be installed. This would cut down infiltration when the crematorium is not in use. In talking to the Mechanical Contractor, the combustion air will not be heated. This room could possibly get cold in the winter. We would recommend the installation of a gas fired unit heater in this room to prevent any water pipes in this room from freezing. This unit heater should have approximately 200,000 BTU output. Also this room could get fairly warm in the summer while in use. We would recommend an exhaust fan of approximately 1500 CFM be installed and operated from a reverse acting thermostat so if the room gets to warm the fan comes on. This should provide you with the information you require. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Very truly yours, Cain Ouse Associates, Inc. Wallace M. Ouse, P.E.

More particularly, their funeral home is located in Century Point Addition, just off Coachman Road. I am writing to you with respect to the inadequate and /or improper storm drainage along Coachman Road as it drains south- ward toward Yankee Doodle Road. Because of improper engineer- ing of Coachman Road and the inadequate provisions for drainage of thet watershed north of the Klecatsky property, their pro- perty is subject to flooding whenever there is rain in any substantial amount. The City of Eagan should be aware of this problem. In Septemer, 1987, Thomas Klecatsky and Donald Klober sent the City a letter which detailed the nature of this problem. A copy of this letter is enclosed for your reference. Subse- quent to this letter, there were a number of follow -up contacts with the City requesting that action be taken to correct this problem, but no corrective action has been taken. On this past Wednesday, June 27, 1990, the Klecatsky pro- perty was once again flooded as a direct result of the improper drainage of storm runoff. It is intolerable that this situa- tion continues without the City taking some direct action to resolve the problem. The Klecatskys would appreciate knowing what the City's intentions are on this matter. What does the City intend to do to resolve the problem and when will it take action? Mr. Thomas A.

Box 21 -199 Eagan, Minnesota 55121 Each Office Is Independently Owned And Operated September 4, 1987 Dear Sir, As property owners of the Century Point Addition and adjoining Foxridge properties we are writing you with regard to the gross inadequacy in storm drainage along Coachman Road as it drains southward to Yankee Doodle Road. Recent storms have made us aware foc the first time of poor engineering in the upgrade of Coachman Road, that widened and added curbing to the street. Work was completed in the fall of 1985. Examining the catch basins as provided in the street upgrade, revealed that water collected from the street and adjoining property( much of which is city park land, must run to the catch basins at the corner of Coachman and Yankee Doodle Road. Southward flow begins near the Woodridge Apartments at 3255 Coachman Road. We have been told by Mr. Craig Knutson of your staff that these catch basins and piping are of adequate design to carry the run off. Looking at the results of overwhelming water on July 23rd which put five feet of water and mud in the basement of the Klecatsky Funeral Home, sewer backup into Century 21 Realty plus large mud deposits in the Foxridge garage areas we were told that nothing could have handled such a volume. We will not dispute this claim; however, in looking at the elevations and possible run off locations as Coachman is now built, it is apparent that a rainfall of much less magnitude will produce similar results. As runoff water is channeled down Coachman Road by the curb and gutter, there are four openings at which it will be diverted from its path to the corner at Yankee Doodle. The first two are the driveways that enter the parking and garage areas of Foxridge Apartments. Next is the street of Century Point. Finally the driveway leading to Century 21 Realty. At each point the grade established in the improvement of Coachman Road allows water to run off the street intorthe previously mentioned openings. This water does not reach the catch basins designed to carry it away. All grades at these openings were established and installed with city approval at the time. Catch basins and drainage are provided for in the apartments and the Century Point addition; however, their capacity was established for the area they serve, not for additional water channeled to them by the Coachman Road curb and gutter. We feel the city can remedy this problem with the placement of additional catch basins on Coachman Road prior to the four openings. This letter may be considered a formal request for such action. If the city fails to act to remedy the problem, I. are prepared to do what is necessary to obtain relief. We contend that our area storm drains bear no responsibility to carry off rainfall that occurs outside the limits of our property. May we please hear from your office on this matter within a reasonable time after your complete examination of the area.

PAUL, MINN. 55118 457 -6200 Dear Jerry, This letter is intended to solicit the co-operation of the City of Eagan in an assignment of the corner lot credit due Donald B. Virginia C. Klober for the improvements to Yankee Doodle Road, namely Project No. 427 City of Eagan, Dakota County, Minnesota. At the time improvements were made on Coachman Road (1007 Street 348) the en- tire Century Addition was owned by Donald B. Virginia Klober, husband and wife, and Klecatsky Brothers Investments, a General Partnership. while the addition had already been platted and recorded as of September 20, 1984, the assessments for Coachman Road were made to all properties in the Century Addition. At a later time it was realized that only abutting property was liable for the Coachman Road improvements. The Klobers owned all the abutting property at that time. Klecatsky Brothers Investments owned all the non abutting property. None the less, Klecatsky Brothers Investments became liable for $3,698.34 of the total project. No protest of the assessment was made due to our lack of knowledge of how the assessments applied or did not apply to non abutting property. Payments of the assessment are current with the Dakota County Assessors Office including interest due for annual installments. We understand that the corner lot credit for project No. 427 is based on 75' feet times the $7.43 per foot commercial assessment rate. This is $5657.25 We propose to divide this amount on a 2 /3rd 1 /3rd basis; the same formula used to divide the Coachman Road assessment on Century Addition. Th3at�will mean Klecatsky Brothers Investments will receive the 2 /3rd portion, or-$3771.5 and Donald Virginia Klober will receive the 1 /3rd portion, or $1885.75. All parties agree to this division of the corner lot credit as a means to in- Road project. sine fairness in benefiting all who were assessed a s y e of the Coac city of eagarL ter Z. et .4 L 1 3830 PILOT KNOB ROAD.

EUGENE VAN OVERNICE Dear Mr. Klecatsky Mr. Klober: In response to your letter of September 4th, we reviewed the drainage system for Coachman Road as it may impact the Century Addition and your individual properties. It appears that the current drainage pattern, storm sewer system and driveway /street openings do not add to the drainage problems that you currently experience within the Century Addition. The amount of runoff from Coachman Road that enters into Century Point is very minimal due to its being intercepted by upstream driveway entrances into the Foxridge Apartments. It appears the majority of the drainage problems that you are encountering are associated with rainfall that falls within your subdivision and the lack of adequate storm sewer facilities or overflow drainage swales that should have been provided with the development of this subdivision by the developer and /or builder of the structures contained therein. If any additional storm sewer improvements are requested either within the Century Addition or along Coachman Road, the City can proceed with such a public improvement upon petition of 51% of the affected property owners. The cost associated with these improvements will be spread as a special assessment against the benefited property owners. Although the City did review specific plans as a part of the Century Addition development, these improvements were designed, installed, inspected and recommended for acceptance by the developer and his private engineer. Because the City requires these types of improvements to be designed by a registered professional engineer, it is their professional responsibility to insure that City standards are met in their design and construction procedures. The City does not review specific design calculations but only a cursory review of those proposed improvements. THE LONE OAK TREE, THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY LETTER TO TOM KLECATSKY DON KLOBER SEPTEMBER 23, 1987 PAGE TWO Please be assured that the City stands ready to remedy any problems you feel are necessary. However, we can only proceed to take such corrective action based on our ability to assess the benefited properties for those improvements or an agreement by those property owners to accept all related costs. Again, a detailed review of the drainage basin and on -site investigations during recent rain storms show that your property does not receive an inordinate amount of drainage outside of your subdivision. I regret that this letter may not contain the information that you had expected. However, it is in line with City policies and ordinances. Please let me know if we may assist you any further in trying to alleviate your drainage concerns. Sincerely, -Z4 42 cf Thomas A. Colbert Public Works Director cc: Mike Foertsch, Assistant City Eng.

Enclosed please find a copy of my response to that letter dated September 23, 1987. It is my understanding that as a result of the flash flooding that occurred in Eagan on June 27, the funeral home had the lower level flooded out. In reviewing the site plan layout for this site, there is very little protection on the property for any temporary street flooding that may occur during similar high intensity storms. The City's storm sewer lateral system is designed to handle a five year frequency storm event. Any rainfall in excess of that amount is expected to be handled by an overland drainage system either within the public street right -of -way or through defined overland drainage swales to the City's trunk storm sewer system, which is designed to handle the 100 -year frequency event. Evidently, during the site planning of your internal parking lot layout and drive -under garage, there does not appear to be any provisions made for overland drainage to continue south into the City's ponding area south of Yankee Doodle Road before flowing down the driveway providing access to your lower level.

Eagan, Minnesota 55121 (612) 454 -3410 1- 800 328 -2821 Mr. Thomas A. Colbert Public Works Director City of Eagan P.O. Box 21 -199 Eagan, Minnesota 55121 September 4, 1987 Dear Sir, As property owners of the Century Point Addition and adjoining Foxridge properties we are writing you with regard to the gross inadequacy in storm drainage along Coachman Road as it drains southward to Yankee Doodle Road. Recent storms have made us aware for the first time of poor engineering in the upgrade of Coachman Road, that widened and added curbing to the street. Work was completed in the fall of 1985. Examining the catch basins as provided in the street upgrade, revealed that water collected from the street and adjoining property, much of which is city park land, must run to the catch basins at the corner of Coachman and Yankee Doodle Road. Southward flow begins near the Woodridge Apartments at 3255 Coachman Road. We have been told by Mr. Craig Knutson of your staff that these catch basins and piping are of adequate design to carry the run off. Looking at the results of overwhelming water on July 23rd which put five feet of water and mud in the basement of the Klecatsky Funeral Home, sewer backup into Century 21 Realty plus large mud deposits in the Foxridge garage areas we were told that nothing could have handled such a volume. We will not dispute this claim; however, in looking at the elevations and possible run off locations as Coachman is now built, it is apparent that a rainfall of much less magnitude will produce similar results. As runoff water is channeled down Coachman Road by the curb and gutter, there are four openings at which it will be diverted from its path to the corner at Yankee Doodle. The first two are the driveways that enter the parking and garage areas of Foxridge Apartments. Next is the street of Century Point. Finally the driveway leading to Century 21 Realty. At each point the grade established in the improvement of Coachman Road allows water to run off the street into'the previously mentioned openings- This water does not reach the catch basins designed to carry it away. All grades at these openings were established and installed with city approval at the time. Catch basins and drainage are provided for in the apartments and the Century Point addition; however, their capacity was established for the area they serve, not for additional water channeled to them by the Coachman Road curb and gutter. We feel the city can remedy this problem with the placement of additional catch basins on Coachman Road prior to the four openings. This letter may be considered a formal request for such action. If the city fails to act to remedy the problem, are prepared to do what is necessary to obtain relief. We contend that our area storm drains bear no responsibility to carry off rainfall that occurs outside the limits of our property. May we please hear from your office on this matter within a reasonable time after your complete examination of the area.
