Eagan, Lot 8, Block 2, Ches Mar First Addition Our File No. 206-7254 Dear Judy: KENNETH R. HALL •**Scorn D. JOHNSTON JOSEPH P. EARLEY LOREN M. SOLFEST CHRISTINE M. SCOTILLO ANNETTE M. MARGARIT DANIEL M. SHERIDAN OF COUNSEL: JOHN E. VUKELICH Pursuant to your July 18, 1990, request, I have reviewed the status of the Ocel lawsuit and examined the contents of the City's file. I have determined that the current landowner should be granted access to the file. I. Status of the Lawsuit Procedurally, the case has been dismissed. The case was heard by the Minnesota Supreme Court on the issue of whether the City of Eagan was time-barred from bringing Gabbert Development, Inc., Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc. Inc., and Schimek Construction, Inc., into the action as third -party defendants. The City lost its appeal and was prevented from bringing the other defendants into the litigation. See Ocel v. City of Eagan, 402 N.W.2d 531 (Minn. 1987). Following the Supreme Court's decision, the remaining parties, Ocels and the City of Eagan, stipulated to a dismissal of the action with prejudice preventing Ocel from ever bringing a similar action against the City. The Stipulation to Dismiss is dated December 23, 1987, and pursuant to that Stipulation, the lawsuit was dismissed. I spoke to the City's attorney during the litigation, Don C. Day, and he was aware of no problem with that settlement. Judy Jenkins July 25, 1990 Page Two II. Accessibility of the File Eagan's file on the lawsuit should be available to the landowner unless the Data Practices Act or an attorney-client privilege prevents such disclosure. I have examined the contents of the file. I discovered nothing that would be included within the attorney-client privilege exclusion. While many of the letters and documents were communications between the City and its attorneys, most of those communications were also included within the City's Answers to Interrogatories or Production of Documents discovery requests during the litigation. Those communications have thus already been disclosed to persons outside the attorney-client relationship and are no longer protected. The information in Eagan's file would be classified as public data. Any data retained after the exhaustion of rights of appeal by either party in a civil action become inactive investigative data and is classified as public data. Minn. Stat. §13.39, subd. 3. Eagan's file does reveal that the Ocels sold the property in 1983 to Shannon and Randall Berg. That sale document indicates that the Ocels adequately disclosed the prior drainage problems to the new buyers and maintained that the Ocels had experienced no drainage problems since the back yard had been drain tiled. A check with the Dakota County Recorder's Office states that the property is currently owned by a Joellen Lindgreen via Warranty Deed recorded on October 5, 1987. I have learned nothing that leads me to believe that any lawsuit is contemplated by the current owner. Conclusion Pursuant to the Data Practices Act, the City must permit the landowner to examine the City's file relating to the Ocel V. Eagan lawsuit. There is nothing in that file that any longer remains within the attorney-client privilege. Very truly yours, SEVERSON, WILCOX & SHELDON, P.A. a2WmT "®JIB/lM Annette M. Margaret AMM O JOSEPH M.

I have been informed by Dale Peterson, Chief Building official, that the City only retains these plans for 90 days after final inspection for occupancy. Item #2 Enclosed is a copy of the final plat of the Ches Mar Addition which shows the Ocel property designating the "low area" as a wetland. Item #3 Enclosed is a copy of the Development Contract for the Ches Mar First and Third Additions. I was not able to locate a copy of the agreement pertaining to the Ches Mar Second Addition. Although not specifically referenced, it is possible that the Third Addition Development Agreement incorporated the requirements of the Second Addition. Item #4 Enclosed are copies of preliminary grading plans for the First and Third Additions. Again, no grading plan could be found for the Second Addition. Also, on August 16, 1984, Bob Rosene forwarded to your attention a layout plan showing the drainage area. THE LONE OAK TREE ...THE SYMBOL OF STRENGTH AND GROWTH IN OUR COMMUNITY MR.

I expect the trial to take approximately one week, and during that period of time it may be necessary to call the following personnel from the City of Eagan: Mark Parranto, Tom Hedges, Tom Colbert, Dale Peterson, Jon Connelly and possibly other councilmen who were present and inspected the plaintiffs' home. I would appreciate it if you could make a search and send me the following documents if found: 1) Any plans and specifications for the 0cel home which were done either through Brad Jones and/or Schim ek Construction; ?2) Any plats or maps that would show the Ocel's lot as an out lot or as an area designated for ponding of water; '3) A development agreement for each of the first three additions ! 1S 3 of Ches Mar; ?4) Grading charts for the first three additions of Ches Mar; ^`'Y ,r s No-C 5) Any minutes wherein the Ocel property was discussed; v 6) The contract, which apparently was in 1969 between Bonestroo, etc. and the City relative to engineering consulting service, plus any written additions or alterations; ?7) A set of prints of the photographs taken on 8-26-81 by Tom Colbert, which I believe consists of nine prints.

City of Eagan, et al c4j-4 y12ur / sT Our File No. L-1875 Dear Mr. Colbert: As you know I am defending the City on a lawsuit brought by the Ocels. I am enclosing a report from Schnell & Madson relative to the design of the system and relative to the sale of that property by the plaintiffs. I am sure you will want to review this report and to consider whether there should be any alteration made in the drainage system or whether contact should be made with the present owner of the property relative to raising that driveway so that there will be no overflow, from the street. I am also enclosing a copy of my letter to Rosene's attorney tendering this matter again to them. I also urge you to press upon Mr. Rosene that the City feels he should accept the tender of this case and attempt to resolve the case with the plaintiffs. I would appreciate receiving from you all of the real estate evaluations on this particular property on which the fair market value is determined which is used in computing the taxation so that I can compare the county's fair market assessment value with the price for which this home was sold. It is my understanding that the fair market value as listed on the tax statements are generally lower than the fair market value and if there is some formula for the under evaluation amount I would appreciate knowing what it is.

Enclosed please find their Invoice #7497 for April 1978 with two highlighted references to surface drainage problems. The first one refers to Ches Mar "Third" Addition but this may have been a typo due to confusion as to the actual location of the problem. However, this is speculation on my part. The second reference pertains to a meeting with the "Public Works Director". Prior to October-1978, I was not employed with the City of Eagan and a "Director" did not exist. This may be a reference to the Public Works "Superintendent". Again, this is speculation on my part as the Superintendent has since retired. The "registered engineer" referenced as spending the amount of time on these items is most likely Mr. Keith Gordon, of BRA, Inc., who was the primary liaison individual for the City of Eagan at that time. I am also forwarding to your attention, two pieces of information that were discovered as being misfiled through a routine search of other files. I am not certain whether this information was previously forwarded to your attention, if so, please disregard. THE LONE OAK TREE...

Both homes are below street level and have had severe problems with erosion and flooded basements this summer. To help alleviate the problems the developer recently installed a sewer extension through both properties, with City cooperation. Before the sewer extension was added, the Ocels had used a culvert to drain a low area on their property. The drainage from the culvert crossed the Jarvi property to a pond behind the Jarvi house and caused sever erosion. Because of the severe rainfalls, the added storm sewer was unable to handle all drainage, and the old culvert on the Ocel land, which was closed by the Ocels at the request of City Engineer Rosene, opened up again and flooded the Jarvi property. The attorney for the Jarvis has threatened to bring a lawsuit to have the culvert removed. This attorney argues that the City is responsible because it allowed the Ocel house to be built and because the storm drainage system is insufficient to handle all the runoff. With certain improvements suggested by Mr. Rosene, City responsibility for any problems should be minimized, but potential for involvement in a lawsuit remains if the culvert is not .removed. It will be hard for the City to order the Ocels to remove the culvert, but it might help to write the Ocels and let them know that if the culvert remains, the City will not be responsible for any resulting legal actions. Mr. Rosene will bring this up at the Council meeting tonight, and he will be able to fill you in on the details.

Swanson, Attorney at Law 2108 I D S Center Minneapolis, MN 55402 Subject: Drainage at Ocel Property, Eagan, Minnesota Lot 8, Block 2, Ches Mar 1st Addition Dakota County Dear Mr. Swanson: At your request we have reviewed the drainage conditions present upstream of the Ocel property at the north end of Ches Mar Drive to try to determine the cause or causes of damage to lawn, driveway and landscaping on that and adjacent lots. Historically, the original drainage system was installed in 1977. It consisted of five catch basins, two manholes and about 895 feet of 12" diameter reinforced concrete pipe in Ches Mar Drive and the Ocel property. The system started, at Ches Mar Drive and Dunberry Lane and drained north to the Ocel driveway, thence westward in the Ocel property into a small sump in the rear of that tract. Plan "A" attached is an enlarged reproduction of the plan received from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, Inc., the City's consulting engineering firm; it shows the incremental drainage areas tribu- tary to the various catch basins; we have added color for identification. Plan "B" is an enlarged print of the detailed original plan and profile for the same construction, as received from the Bonestroo firm. We were advised by the consulting engineers that several alterations were made in 1978 to the original installation: a new 15" pipe was installed leading from Manhole 100 in the Ocel property downhill to the large pond north of the Jarvi property; a new 15" pipe was dnatalled carrying runoff from - r Mr. Ronald Swanson Page 2 November 16, 1984 the two catch basins in the intersection of Ches Mar Drive and Dunberry Lane southward and westward into a sump in the City park area west of Ches Mar Drive; the pipe formerly carrying runoff from the latter intersection north- ward into the Ocel system was sealed off at Catch Basin 104. The effect of these two latter changes was to reduce the area contributing to flow into the Ocel system by about six acres, thus reducing its tributary area to about five acres. The area removed is shown in blue and the remaining tributary areas are shown in yellow, red and green. We have computed the theoretical amount of runoff draining into the Ocel system for a 10-year frequency storm and find that the theoretical quantity exceeds the pipe capacity, even with ponding in the street near the Ocel driveway to a depth of 6". Because of use of catch basin gratings which can be fouled by leaves, branches and other substances carried by gutter flow, it is probable that there has been some ponding to a greater depth than 6" at the low catch basins adjacent to the Ocel and Jarvi tracts, Nos. 102 and 101, during storms With a frequency of less than once in 10 years. Such backing up would result in runoff flow overtopping the driveway rise at the property line on both the Ocel and Jarvi tracts, which rises are 1.3 feet and 1.0 feet, respectively, on the two tracts. Overtopping results in runoff flow down into the interior of these properties and possible erosion of lawns and driveways and damage to landscaping. If further study is needed relative to this condition, we will be glad to pursue it. Very truly yours, SCHOELL INC. WDSchoell:sd i THOMAS LAKE O, (596 INOMa .. .. `, _. ._..

This letter summarizes some of the difficulties experienced by above refer- enced residence relative to storm water drainage recently and the action which has been taken together with suggested further action to minimize further problems. A heavy rain occurred on the evening of August 25 and morning of August 26 which caused water to enter basement walkout portion of the Ocel house. The house was checked by Tom Colbert, Public Works Director, and the undersigned on the morning of August 26 at 11:30 A.M. In the basement walkout portion of the Ocel house, the edge of the carpeting adjacent to the south wall was wet in each of the two bedrooms and water extended in under the closet carpeting for five feet north of the south wall in the west bedroom. There was no water visible on the floor, but the carpeting was wet to feel and you could hear water in the-cushion under the carpet. Water was reported by the Ocels to have entered the backyard from the storm sewer manhole by way of the existing drainage basin south of the house and caused the backyard to fill to such an elevation that the water entered the house. Our examination of the backyard provided no evidence that water backed out of the storm sewer nor that it had caused the water to flow into the grass area enclosed by fence from the low area outside the fence. It was apparent that the backyard within the fence is very flat and particularly so adjacent to the house. It appeared that the edge of the swimming pool is higher than the back door and a portion of the patio slopes toward the house. That portion of the patio immediately adjacent to the back door slopes very slightly away from the house. With no gutters on the roof, all of the south side of the house drains into the backyard. It is believed that this very intense short-duration storm caused water to pond in the backyard adjacent to the south wall of the house to an elevation above the lower floor level due to the very flat grades in this immediate area. 6360a Page 1. Further investigation of the problem was made by taking detailed elevations of the slope of the driveway and of the backyard of this property. These eleva- tions verified the fact that the backyard is quite flat and that only approxi- mately one and one-half inches of slope is present from the back door to to low portion of the patio where drainage starts across the grass lawn. The flat grade and elevation of the grass and of the rock immediately adjacent to the back wall are sufficiently high so that they can temporarily restrict water from flowing out of the yard causing the water to rise to an elevation above the inside floor level. A further investigation was made. by flooding the streets using the fire hy- drants in the area and observing the action of the catch basins and the flow in the manhole on the Ocel property. These tests were made on Setember 1, 1981. They indicated good flow characteristics in the line from the street to the manhole and in the line from the manhole to the ponding area. There was some turbulance in the manhole but no flow backed out of the pipe into the backyard. The flow tests indicated the pipe has the capacity of flow which was originally anticipated. After reviewing all of the data available and considering the fact that there may be future storms of greater magnitude than this late August storm, we are suggesting the following course of action: Action by: 1. Install a backflow restriction "flap gate" in the manhole to insure that no flow can come from the manhole into the backyard during peri- ods of intense flow in the storm sewer. This flap gate will automat- ically open to allow water to flow from the backyard into the storm sewer as soon as the peak flow has subsided in the manhole. This is anticipated to be not more than a few hours during intense storms, if at all. Adequate capacity exists in the low area of the backyard to temporarily store the runoff from the Ocel lot and the immediately adjacent land draining into their backyard. 2. Seal up the manhole and install a standard manhole cover bolted down City to the top of the manhole so that the cover could not be raised off due to water surcharge in the manhole. 3. Improve the overflow route across the boulevard and along the upper edge of the drive to insure an adequate bypass if water did overflow Ocel from the streets due to plugged catch basins or an extremely heavy storm. This will require the removal and relaying of the sod, the excavation of a shallow swale across the boulevard and along the north edge of the drive and the lowering of approximately 4 bushes along the property line. 4. When the Ocel's pave their driveway, they should provide a positive slope across the driveway and an edge berm to prevent water from Ocel flowing southerly across the drive into their backyard. The present driveway is generally sloped in this manner and will require a mini- mal amount of reshaping to insure this protective action. 5. Install gutters and downspouts on the roof to direct that water from the area of the backyard. Check what sealing was done at the top of Ocel foundation and at the low edge of the siding and provide caulking if this was not previously accomplished. Check on lowering the Swale across the yard to provide for positive drainage across the grass away from the house. Page 2. 6360a We are confident that if these courses of action are followed, no damage will occur to this property from excessive storm water drainage in the street or from the possibility of an overloaded storm sewer. We are also confident that the improvements to the drainage at the house will prevent damage occurring from excessive storm water from the roof or backyard flowing on the property or from the immediately adjacent drainage area which drains to their backyard ponding area. The installation of the flap gate and improvement to the manhole will be made immediately if there are no objections from your client. The improvement of the overland drainage swale across the boulevard and adjacent to the driveway should be made as soon as permission is granted by the Jarvis to permit the minor shaping of their property.

Water came from the storm sewer according to the Ocels. Rain was Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning A..y z5 + z6,19D1, Checked.the house with Tom Colbert at 11:30 A.M. Catch basins in the street were partially blocked but at least 80% of the surface of the grate plus all of the curb opening on each side of the street were open. Erosion patterns on the crushed rock driveway indicated that the water had flowed northerly off the driveway rather than to turn into the back yard of Ocels. Not evident how much water overflowed from the street, if any. Checked the basement walkout portion of Ocel house. The edge of the car- peting adjacent to the south wall was wet in each of the two bedrooms and the water extended in under the closet carpeting 4 or 5 feet north of the south wall in the west bedroom. There was no visible water on the floor but the carpeting was wet to feel and you could hear water in the cushion under the carpet. The patio just outside the south wall is very flat and appears to be at approximately the same elevation as the inside floor of the house. The back yard is quite flat but does slope some to the south to the fence adjacent to the swimming pool. Mrs. Ocel claims that the water flowed out of the manhole into the back yard filling up the low area of the back yard and then continuing to flow in on the grass until the area immediately adjacent to the south wall of the house was flooded after which the water seeped into the bedroom floor area. Page 1. 6007a J a, Checked the lower area of the yard and particularly the drainage Swale that was supposed to have been flooded from the ponding area. There was no evidence of any debris being carried from the low area up onto the grass at any parts of the yard adjacent to the ponding area. Checked the manhole on the storm sewer and found grass clippings on the top slab adjacent to the square steel plate covering the opening in the man- hole. Any overflow out of the top of the manhole would certainly have washed the grass clippings off of the top slab. Water was flowing into the manhole from the low area of their yard at the time of our visit. There was no evi- dence that water had flowed out of that inlet. The roof has no gutters nor downspouts. All of the water falling on the south half of the roof would drain off the roof directly into the back yard and patio area. It is our belief that the excess -water which seeped into the house was from the roof and yard drainage and not due to backup from the storm sewer. It is probable that a very intense rain provided more water than could flow off due to the flat slopes of the patio and yard causing a ponding temp- orarily immediately adjacent to the south wall. We stated to Mrs. Ocel that we would take additional elevations on the patio and the back yard and would get back to her attorney, Ron Swanson, rela- tive to this project. We also recommended that she dry out the carpeting as quickly as possible so that it would not be damaged due to the small amount of water which has soaked into each room. We then checked the Jarvi property and talked with Mrs. Jarvi. They had no difficulty due to the storm. Any water which overflowed the street, if any, flowed down their driveway and out a culvert which they have which drains to their side lot line. The culvert handled the water satisfactorily and there is evidence that a fairly heavy flow drained across their property on Page 2. 6007a Ar the surface but did no damage. Their sod is well established now. Mrs. Jarvi stated that they have had no difficulties this year and she is pleased that their problem appears to be solved. I believe that two actions need to be taken on the storm sewer: 1. Provide a flap gate in the storm sewer manhole to prevent the possibility of water backing out of the manhole when water from the street may be sur- charging the 15" storm sewer draining to the pond. 2. Seal up the manhole and install a-standard manhole cover bolted down to the top of the manhole so that the cover could not be raised off due to water surcharge in the manhole. It is very doubtful that the water could surcharge enough to raise a normal manhole cover but by bolting the ring and cover down, it can be prevented for sure. As far as the Ocel house is concerned, it is probable that a gutter with down spouts on the south roof would minimize their problem and it may be nec- essary to do some regrading in the back yard to remove heavy flows from in- tense rains before it can back into the house. Also, the caulking along the bottom of the wall should be checked. to see if it is properly sealed from out- side water. The driveway should also be shaped to provide a more positive drainage to the northerly lot line and the boulevard area between the Jarvi and the Ocel driveways should be lowered to provide a positive drainage .wale down the lot line to handle any possible overflows from the street. Undoubt- edly there will be overflows from the street due to catch basin pluggage and/or extremely intense short duration rain storms. With a positive overflow from the street down the lot line to the pond, property damage to both the Jarvi and the Ocel homes can be avoided.

Attorney-at-Law Suite 4020 cam' IDS Center Minneapolis, Min nesota 55402 Re: Ocel Residents Site Drainage Eagan, Mn. Our File No. 49 Dear Sir: This letter summarizes some of the difficulties experienced by above refer- enced residents relative to storm water drainage recently and the action which has been taken together with suggested further action to minimize further problems.' A heavy rain occurred on the evening of August 25 and morning of August 26 which caused water to enter basement walkout portion of the Osell house. The house was checked by Tom Colbert, Public Works Director, and the undersigned on the morning of August 26 at 11:30 A.M. In the basement walkout portion of the Ocel house, the edge of the carpeting adjacent to the south wall was wet in each of the two bedrooms and water extended in under the closet carpeting for five feet north of the south wall in the west bedroom. There was no vis- ible on the floor, but the carpeting was wet to feel and you could hear water in the cushion under the carpet. Water was reported to have entered the backyard from the storm sewer manhole and caused the backyard to fill to such an elevation that the water entered the house. Our examination of the backyard provided no evidence that water backed out of the storm sewer nor that it had caused the water to flow into the grass area enclosed by fence from the low area outside the fence. It was apparent that the backyard is very flat and particularly adjacent to the house. It appeared that the edge of the swimming pool is higher than the back door and a portion of the patio slopes toward the house. That portion of the patio immediately adjacent to the back door slopes very slightly away from the house. With no gutters on the roof, all of the south side of the house drains into the back- yard. It is believed that this very intense short-duration storm caused water to pond in the backyard adjacent to the south wall of the house due to the very flat grades in this immediate area. Page 1. 6360a Further investigation of the problem was made by taking detailed elevations of the slope of the driveway and of the backyard of this property. These eleva- tions verified the fact that the backyard is quite flat and that only approxi- mately one and one-half inches of slope is present from the back door to to low portion of the patio where drainage starts across the grass lawn. The elevation of the grass and of the rock immediately adjacent to the back wall are sufficiently high so that they could hold water from flowing out of the yard rapidly enough to avoid the water rising to an elevation above the inside floor level. A further investigation was made by padding the streets using the fire hy- drants in the area and observing the action of the catch basins and the flow in the manhole on the Ocel property. These tests were made on Setember 1, 1981. They indicated good flow characteristics in the line from the street to the manhole and in the line from the manhole to the ponding area. There was some tribulance in the manhole but not flow came out of the pipe into the backyard. The flow tests indicated the pipe-to have the capacity of flow which was originally anticipated. After reviewing all of the data available and considering the fact that there may be future storms of greater magnitude than this last August storm, we are suggesting the following course of action: 1. In stall a flap gate in the manhole to insure that no flow can come from the manhole into the backyard during periods of intense flow in the storm sewer. This flap gate will automatically. open to allow water to flow from the backyard into the storm sewer as soon as the flow has subsided in the manhole. This is anticipated to be not more than a few hours during in- tense: storms, if at all. Adequate capacity exists in the low area of the backyard to temporarily store the runoff from the Ocel lot and the immedi- ately adjacent land draining into their backyard. 2. Seal up the manhole and install a standard manhole cover bolted down to the top of the manhole so that the cover could not be raised off due to water surcharge in the manhole. 3. Improve the overflow route across the boulevard and along the upper edge of the drive to insure an adequate bypass if water did overflow from the streets due to plugged catch basins or an extremely heavy storm. This will require the removal and relaying of the sod, the excavation of a shallow swale across the boulevard and along the north edge of the drive and the lowering of approximately 4 bushes along the property line. 4. When the Ocel's pave their driveway, they should provide a positive slope across the driveway and an edge berm to prevent water from flowing across the drive into their backyard. The present driveway is generally sloped in this manner and will require a minimal amount of reshaping to insure this positive action. 5. Install gutters and downspouts on the roof to direct that water from the area of the backyard. Check what sealing was done at the top of founda- tion and at the low edge of the siding and provide caulking if this was not previously accomplished. Check on lowering the swale across the yard to provide for positive drainage across the grass away from the house. Page 2. 6360a We are confident that if these courses of action are followed, no damage will occur to this property from excessive storm water drainage in the street or from the possibility of an overloaded storm sewer. We are also confident that the improvements to the drainage at the house will prevent damage occurring from excessive storm water flowing on the property or from the immediately ad- jacent drainage area which drains to their backyard ponding area. The installation of the flap gate and improvement to the manhole will be made immediately if there are no objections from your client. The improvement of the overland drainage swale across the boulevard and adjacent to the driveway will be made as soon as permission is granted by both the Jarvis and the Ocels to permit the minor shaping of their property.

P.E. Charles A. Erickson Leo M. Pawelsky Harlan M. Olson We have been requested by Bill Schoell, Consulting Engineer who is working with At- torney Ron Swanson on the above case, to furnish him information on the drainage area tributary to the storm sewer which drains through the Ocel property. He already has received a copy of the record plans showing the details of this storm sewer. Enclosed is a layout plan showing the outline of the 4.8 acre drainage area. Also enclosed is a copy of the original 2' contour topography map of this area which shows the contours of the backyards immediately adjacent to the Ocel property. Also enclosed for your information is a copy of record plan sheet 350 showing the storm sewer system through the Ocel property and record plan sheet 364 which shows the diversion made of the catch basin inlets at Duneberry Lane and Ches Mar Drive so that all of the drainage of the south portion of Ches Mar Drive is diverted into the park south of Ches Mar Addition and west of Ches Mar Drive. This additional piping was installed in 1979 shortly after the installation of the additional 15" diameter piping on the Ocel and Jarvi properties. I viewed the property shortly after the very heavy rain of August 7, 1984 and found that the system has worked very well with no property damage. The enclosed drainage area and topographic information is provided for you to furnish to Mr. Schoell if you deem it advisable. Please call if there are any questions.

Ocel, husband and wife, vs. City of Eagan, and City of Eagan, vs. Gabbert Development, Inc., Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc., and Schimek Construction, Inc., DISTRICT COURT FIRST JUDICAL DISTRICT. Plaintiffs, ANSWERS TO INTERROGATORIES Defendant, Third Party Plaintiff, Third Party Defendants. Defendant and Third Party Plaintiff, City of Eagan, and for its Answers to the Inter- rogatories of Third Party Defendant, Schimek Construction, Inc., states as follows: 1. State specifically and in detail every act or omission of Third Party Defendant Schimek Construction, We., which you claim to be negligent as alleged in Paragraph VI of your Complaint. ANSWER: Schimek Construction, Inc., being the contractor for the construction ogle family dwelling unit on the referenced lot within the City of Eagan is responsible for constructing this dwelling unit in accordance with the building codes of the State of Minnesota and related ordinances in effect within the City of Eagan at the time of building permit application and during construction of the dwelling unit. During the construction site selection and completion of this single family dwelling unit, Schimek Construction, Inc. did not take into consideration existing or proposed future drainage problems associated with a walkout dwelling structure located adjacent to a "dead end" drainage basin and did not take the necessary pro- visions, precautions or corrective action to protect said dwelling unit from any po- tential adverse drainage conditions that could accumulate within this drainage basin. According to Gabbert Development this lot was a natural ponding area. In addition, based on the natural topography of the land prior to the construction of this dwelling unit, there was a natural overflow drainage Swale located in the northwes- terly portion of this lot. This overflow drainage swale was obstructed by the construction of the dwelling unit in the associated grading and landscaping performed by Schimek Con- struction, Inc. It is believed that the elevation of that portion of the lot where plaintiffs' house was located was lowered from the original elevation. The area around plaintiffs' house is too flat, but instead should have been sloped or graded downhill from the home. Drain gutters and down spouts that direct drainage away from the home should have been install ed. See that part of Exhibit A; namely, memos from Dale Peterson, Joe Connally and Bob Rosene dated July 7, 1979 to Tom Colbert that were already provided to all parties in the City's Answers to Interrogatories to Gabbert Development, Inc. The driveway was not constructed and sloped properly to prevent water accumulation near the house. An outlet pipe was filled with dirt by either the plaintiffs or Schimek Construction. 2. State specifically and in detail every act of Third Party Defendant Schimek Construction, Inc., which you allege to be careless as set forth in Paragraph VI of your Complaint. ANSWER: Same as number one. 3. State specifically and in detail, including statute number, every act of Third Party Defendant Schimek Construction, Inc., which you claim to be "unlawful" as set forth in Paragraph VI of your Complaint. ANSWER: See Answer number one for the acts as now known, investigation and discovery are ongoing, further details, investigation and discovery must e completed before this question can be answered. 4. If you claim that any representative of the City of Eagan told or requested any representative of Schimek Construction, Inc., to change the location of the Ocel house and/or change the drainage on the Ocel lot and/or change the design of the Ocel house please answer the following: a) List by name, address and position with the City, the City representative who made such request. b) State specifically the request that was made and the date upon which said request was made. c) If any written documentation of the request was prepared please attach a copy as part of the Answers to these Interrogatories. d) State the name and address of the representative of Schimek Construction, Inc., to whom the request was made. ANSWER: a) Dale Peterson, Chief Building Official, City of Eagan, 3795 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, Minensota 55122. Keith Gordon, Consulting Engineer, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & As- sociates, 2335 West Trunk Highway 36, St. Paul, Minensota 55113. Joe Connolly, Utility Department, City of Eagan, 3795 Pilot Knob Road, Eagan, Minnesota 55122. J. Turner, Turner Excavating, Nevada Avenue South, Savage, Minnesota 55378. b) A discussion of proper drainage of the proposed dwelling was held at a meeting on March 8, 1978. c) Enclosed find the memo of Dale Peterson; copies of additional written documentation and correspondence pertaining to this matter have pre- viously been submitted to all attorneys in this action. d) Duane Schimek, Schimek Construction, Inc., 8558 - 140th Street, Apple Valley, Minnesota 55124. 5. If the City of Eagan is aware of any request being made of Schimek Construc- tion, Inc., along the same lines as set forth in the preceeding interrogatory by any organi- zation or individual other than the City of Eagan set forth the information requested in a through d of the preceeding interrogatory relative to that request.

Fonken, Attorney with Jardine, Logan and O'Brien, representing Schimek Construction Inc.: 1) Schimek Construction, Inc., being the prime contractor for the construction of a single family dwelling unit on the above-referenced lot within the City of Eagan is responsible for constructing this dwelling unit in accordance with the building codes of the State of Minnesota and related ordinan- ces in effect within the City of Eagan at the time of build- ing permit application and during construction of the dwell- ing unit. During the construction and upon completion of this single family dwelling unit, Schimek Construction, Inc. did not take into consideration existing or proposed future drainage problems associated with a walkout dwelling struc- ture located adjacent to a "dead end" drainage basin and did not take the necessary provisions, precautions or corrective action to protect said dwelling unit from any potential ad- verse drainage conditions that could accumulate within this drainage basin. In addition, based on the natural topography of the land prior to the construction of this dwelling unit, there was a natural overflow drainage swale located in the northwester- ly portion of this lot. This overflow drainage swale was obstructed by the construction of the dwelling unit in the associated grading and landscaping performed by Schimek Con- struction, Inc. under the issued building permit.

Paul has made the suggestion which I have passed on to Don Day that before the City does any of the work mentioned, an agreement should be signed by the Ocels: with the City in which both sides agree to do the work outlined in Bob's letter, and both sides agree that their agreement to do the work does not constitute an admission of liability. This way if the Ocels attempt to use the City's work to show that the City has indirectly admitted liability, the City can do the same to the Ocels.:. Since Don Day is handling this case for the City, he will probably want to be involved in making any decisions about what the City does in this regard. I'm therefore sending a copy of this letter to him. Please feel free to con- tact either me or Mr. Day if you have any other suggestions for handling this.

Panrl>kr Ira4 a,:.1F Ofsox I)a,i.I F. alma This letter summarizes some of the difficulties experienced by above refer- enced residence relative to storm water drainage recently and the action which has been taken together with suggested further action to minimize further problems. A heavy rain occurred on the evening of August 25 and morning of August 26 which caused water to enter basement walkout portion of the Ocel house. The house was checked by Tom Colbert, Public Works Director, and the undersigned on the morning of August 26 at 11:30 A.M. In the basement walkout portion of the Ocel house, the edge of the carpeting adjacent to the south wall was wet in each of the two bedrooms and water extended in under the closet carpeting for five feet north of the south wall in the west bedroom. There was no water visible on the floor, but the carpeting was wet to feel and you could hear water in the cushion under the carpet. Water was reported by the Ocels to have entered the backyard from the storm sewer manhole by way of the existing drainage basin south of the house and caused the backyard to fill to such an elevation that the water entered the house. Our examination of the backyard provided no evidence that water backed out of the storm sewer nor that it had caused the water to flow into the grass area enclosed by fence from the low area outside the fence. It was apparent that the backyard within the fence is very flat and particularly so adjacent to the house. It appeared that the edge of the swimming pool is higher than the back door and a portion of the patio slopes toward the house. That portion of the patio immediately adjacent to the back door slopes very slightly away from the house. With no gutters on the roof, all of the south side of the house drains into the backyard. It is believed that this very intense short-duration storm caused water to pond in the backyard adjacent to the south wall of the house to an elevation above the lower floor level due to the very flat grades in this immediate area. 6360a Page 1. r -4 Further investigation of the problem was made by taking detailed elevations of the slope of the driveway and of the backyard of this property. These eleva- tions verified the fact that the backyard is quite flat and that only approxi- mately one and one-half inches of slope is present from the back door to to low portion of the patio where drainage starts across the grass lawn. The flat grade and elevation of the grass and of the rock immediately adjacent to the back wall are sufficiently high so that they can temporarily restrict water from flowing out of the yard causing the water to rise to an elevation above the inside floor level. A further investigation was madeby flooding the streets using the fire hy- drants in the area and observing the action of the catch basins and the flow in the manhole on the Ocel property. These tests were made on Setember 1, 1981. They indicated good flow characteristics in the line from the street to the manhole and in the line from the manhole to the ponding area. There was some turbulance in the manhole but no flow backed out of the pipe into the backyard. The flow tests indicated the pipe has the capacity of flow which was originally anticipated. After reviewing all of the data available and considering the fact that there may be future storms of greater magnitude than this late August storm, we are suggesting the following course of action: Action by: 1. Install a backflow restriction "flap gate" in the manhole to insure that no flow can come from the manhole into the backyard during peri- City ods of intense flow in the storm sewer. This flap gate will automat- ically open to allow water to flow from the backyard into the storm sewer as soon as the peak flow has subsided in the manhole. This is anticipated to be not more than a few hours during intense storms, if at all. Adequate capacity exists in the low area of the backyard to temporarily store the runoff from the Ocel lot and the immediately adjacent land draining into their backyard. 2. Seal up the manhole and install a standard manhole cover bolted down City to the top of the manhole so that the cover could not be raised off due to water surcharge in the manhole. 3. Improve the overflow route across the boulevard and along the upper edge of the drive to insure an adequate bypass if water did overflow Ocel from the streets due to plugged catch basins or an extremely heavy storm. This will require the removal and relaying of the sod, the excavation of a shallow swale across the boulevard and along the north edge of the drive and the lowering of approximately 4 bushes along the property line. 4. When the Ocel's pave their driveway, they should provide a positive slope across the driveway and an edge berm to prevent water from Ocel flowing southerly across the drive into their backyard. The present driveway is generally sloped in this manner and will require a mini- mal amount of reshaping to insure this protective action. 5. Install gutters and downspouts on the roof to direct that water from the area of the backyard. Check what sealing was done at the top of Ocel foundation and at the low edge of the- siding and provide caulking if this was not previously accomplished. Check on lowering the Swale across the yard to provide for positive drainage across the grass away from the house. Page 2. 6360a We are confident that if these courses of action are followed, no damage will occur to this property from excessive storm water drainage in the street or from the possibility of an overloaded storm sewer. We are also confident that the improvements to the drainage at the house will prevent damage occurring from excessive storm water from the roof or backyard flowing on the property or from the immediately adjacent drainage area which drains to their backyard ponding area. The installation of the flap gate and improvement to the manhole will be made immediately if there are no objections from your client. The improvement of the overland drainage swale across the boulevard and adjacent to the driveway should be made as soon as permission is granted by the Jarvis to permit the minor shaping of their property. Please advise of your desires on this proj- ect. Yours very truly, BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. Robert W. Rosene RWR:li cc; Mr. Tom Colbert Mr. Don Day, Atty. Mr. Paul Hauge, Atty. Page 3. 6360a MEMO FOR FILE NO. 49 August 26, 1981 By RWR STORM WATER DAMAGE AT OCEL PROPERTY Investigation made after a report received from Ocel's Attorney that they had back yard flooding and damage to their home due to water coming into the house from the south. Water came from the storm sewer according to the Ocels. Rain was Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning) A-5 Z5-4 -zb?t1al, Checked the house with Tom Colbert at 11:30 A.M. Catch basins in the street were partially blocked but at least 80% of the surface of the grate plus all of the curb opening on each side of the street were open. Erosion patterns on the crushed rock driveway indicated that the water had flowed northerly off the driveway rather than to turn into the back yard of Ocels. Not evident how much water overflowed from the street, if any. Checked the basement walkout portion of Ocel house. The edge of the car- peting adjacent to the south wall was wet in each of the two bedrooms and the water extended in under the closet carpeting 4 or 5 feet north of the south wall in the west bedroom. There was no visible water on the floor but the carpeting was wet to feel and you could hear water in the cushion under the carpet. The patio just outside the south wall is very flat and appears to be at approximately the same elevation as the inside floor of the house. The back yard is quite flat but does slope some to the south to the fence adjacent to the swimming pool. Mrs. Ocel claims that the water flowed out of the manhole into the back yard filling up the low area of the back yard and then continuing to flow in on the grass until the area immediately adjacent to the south wall of the house was flooded after which the water seeped into the bedroom floor area. Page 1. 6007a Checked the lower area of the yard and particularly the drainage swale that was supposed to have been flooded from the ponding area. There was no evidence of any debris being carried from the low area up onto the grass at ,any parts of the yard adjacent to the ponding area. Checked the manhole on the storm sewer and found grass clippings on the top slab adjacent to the square steel plate covering the opening in the man- hole. Any overflow out of the top of the manhole would certainly have washed the grass clippings off of the top slab. Water was flowing into the manhole from the low area of-their yard at the time of our visit. There was no evi- dence that water had flowed out of that inlet. The roof has no gutters nor downspouts. All of the water falling on the south half of the roof would drain off the roof directly into the back yard and patio area. It is our belief that the excess water which seeped into the house was from the roof and yard drainage and not due to backup from the storm sewer. It is probable that a very intense rain provided more water than could flow off due to the flat slopes of the patio and yard causing a ponding temp- orarily immediately adjacent to the south wall. We stated to Mrs. Ocel that we would take additional elevations on the patio and the back yard and would get back to her attorney, Ron Swanson, rela- tive to this project. We also recommended that she dry out the carpeting as quickly as possible so that it would not be damaged due to the small amount of water which has soaked into each room. We then checked the Jarvi property and talked with Mrs. Jarvi. They had no difficulty due to the storm. Any water which overflowed the street, if any, flowed down their driveway and out a culvert which they have which drains to their side lot line. The culvert handled the water satisfactorily and there is evidence that a fairly heavy flow drained across their property on Page 2. 6007a the surface but did no damage. Their sod is well established now. Mrs. Jarvi stated that they have had no difficulties this year and she is pleased that their problem appears to be solved. I believe that two actions need to be taken on the storm sewer: 1. Provide a flap gate in the storm sewer manhole to prevent the possibility of water backing out of the manhole when water from the street may be sur- charging the 15" storm sewer draining to the pond. 2. Seal up the manhole and install a-standard manhole cover bolted down to the top of the manhole so that the cover could not be raised off due to water surcharge in the manhole. It is very doubtful that the water could surcharge enough to raise a normal manhole cover but by bolting the ring and cover down, it can be prevented for sure. As far as the Ocel house is concerned, it is probable that a gutter with down spouts on the south roof would minimize their problem and it may be nec- essary to do some regrading in the back yard to remove heavy flows from in- tense rains before it can back into the house. Also, the caulking along the bottom of the wall should be checked. to see if it is properly sealed from out- side water. The driveway should also be shaped to provide a more positive drainage to the northerly lot line and the boulevard area between the Jarvi V and the Ocel driveways should be lowered to provide a positive drainage swale down the lot line to handle any possible overflows from the street. Undoubt- edly there will be overflows from the street due to catch basin pluggage and/or extremely intense short duration rain storms. With a positive overflow from the street down the lot line to the pond, property damage to both the Jarvi and the Ocel homes can be avoided. RWR:Ii 3. 6007a DON C.

Wendall law Offices to respond to your concern pertaining to existing drainage problems as it pertains to the above- referenced property. Apparently, during a conversation between you and Mr. Day, you indicated that a larger size pipe in lieu of the one presently running along the pro- perty line between the Ocel's property and their neighbor, the Jarvi's, would provide for more capacity and relieve the situation. Please be informed that during the fall of 1979, the City installed additional storm sewer facilities upstream thereby reducing the drainage area and providing for greater capacity in the existing storm sewer sys- tem that you referenced as being located on the Ocel's north property line. Therefore, the City feels that any adverse drainage problems relating to the Ocel's property is a direct result of the inproper placement of the structure on this lot and the associa- ted landscaping and grading that was performed by the Ocel's, or their agents. The City does not feel any obligation due to the fact that the existing storm sewer system is of sufficient capacity to handle the 5-10 year storms. This is a normal design criteria used in all urban storm sewer design in the City of Eagan and neighboring coimcmities. I hope this response answers some of the concerns that you expressed to Mr. Day during previous conversations. If you would like additional information, please contact me. Sincerely, Thomas A.

I told him I would contact you with regard to this desired improvement or other alternatives. Would you please review the situation and make a determination of whether the City is willing to do. anything to relieve this situation, and then deal directly with Mr. Swanson on that and advise me of what develops along that line.

Re: 4505 Ches Mar Drive - Ocel Property Dear Mr. Swanson: THOMAS HEDGES CITY ADMINISTRATOR ALYCE BOLKE CITY CLERK Your letter dated February 12 and hand delivered on February 13th was forwarded to my attention. You have demanded that the City remove the hay bales and stakes and also repair the driveway for the Ocels property. However, you also indicated that no entry will be allowed upon the property except for servicing the storm sewer system. We are not aware of any damage that needs repair on the Ocels driveway. If they are requesting that the driveway be lowered behind the curb, it would create drainage problems to the Ocels detriment. Therefore, the City of Eagan does not feel that it should authorize any of the requests noted in your letter unless the following conditions can be resolved: 1. Written permission is received from the Ooels allowing access across their property to perform such repair work. 2. That the City is held harmless and all liabilities are waived for any future claims by the Ocels against the City pertaining to erosion and/or storm water drainage problems. I hope this letter clarifies the position of the City regarding your demands at this time. Sincerely, A. Colbert, P.E.

I was checking to see how the Jarvis yard was graded; it appeared that he had done a very good job of grading down the ravine. Also at this time I saw that Mr. O'Cell had a bull-dozer pushing mud and dirt in his back yard. They were pushing it away from the house up on the back of the pond toward Ches May Drive and behind the new home at 4511 Ches Mar Drive. The dozer had made a number of passes already and had a 2-3 foot trench the width of the dozer blade, from the house to the foot of the bank of the pond. This also left a bank of dirt and mud about 4 feet high in front of the new manhole inlet from the pond and also in front of his existing culvert.

THOMAS HEDGES CITY ADMINISTRATOR ALYCE BOLKE CITY CLERK More specifically, a new storm sewer system will be constructed at the intersection as described which will carry the water collected at those catch basins to the well site property west of Ches Mar Drive and south of Cliff Road. According to the Public Works Director, this will, in effect, intercept approximately 60% of the existing drainage area from the existing storm sewer system. The City is planning to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications and construction of the system in the next several weeks. The City is hopeful that the improved reconstruction of the system will relieve the amount of storm water which consequently flowed over your property in an effort to find the storm water holding pond located directly to the northwest of your property. I will keep you informed as to when construction is to take place. Sincerely, Thomas L. Hedges City Administrator skk I cc: Thomas Colbert, Director of Public Works THE LONE OAK TREE ...

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435 RE: Thomas Ocel vs. City of Eagan - Home Insurance Company. Dear Mr. Wendell: According to a letter of June 29, 1979, from Home Insurance Company, it has turned over a claim made on behalf of Thomas Ocel against the City of Eagan regarding storm sewer drainage in the Ches Mar Drive area in Eagan. I talked with Don Day in your office several weeks ago about this file and it is my understanding that your office is defending the action on behalf of the City in spite of the fact that there are exemplary and punitive damages claimed as a result of the incident. We do want to be kept abreast of the events in this action and in addition, it is very possible that a second action will be brought by Guy Jarvi against the City of Eagan for damages to their property neighboring the Ocel property on Ches Mar Drive. In any event, the Eagan City Council on August 7th adopted a resolution to attempt to correct future problems regarding the storm drainage system in that area and I am enclosing a copy of the report done by Thomas Colbert, Director of Public Works, dated July 13th laying out three proposed alternates for corrective measures. The City Council adopted alternate 4l1 because the Ocels and Jarvis refused to grant any additional easements across their property and the City will be moving ahead at City cost to install alternate Ill improvements. In addition, the City Council adopted a motion directing me to contact you suggesting that the developer of the Ches Mar Addition, Gabbert Development Company, be notified and perhaps brought in to the action because of its role in the design and layout of the streets and storm drainage system in the subdivision. If you have any questions concerning this issues, please let me know. Very truly yours, Paul H. Hauge PHH:cdg enc. cc:as Hedges --_- - MEMO TO: CITY ATTORNEY HF_UGE AND PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR COLBERT FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: JULY 19, 1979 SUBJE OCELL PROPERTY'-- REGARDING A DRAINAGE PROBLEM Public Works Director Colbert has prepared background infor- mation and suggested alternatives for the ongoing storm water problems that have occurred on the Jarvi and Ocell property. It was.our opinion at the meeting held on Tuesday, July 17, 1979 that the three of us meet with Thomas Ocell and his attorney to discuss what type of impact reconstruction of the system would have on the damage suit that was filed by Ocell against the City of Eagan. In other words, if the City chooses an alternative and proceeds with reconstruction of the storm sewer system in an effort to alleviate or pro- vide relief to the Jarvi and Ocell property, will the Ocells continue their damage suit against the City of Eagan as a named party. I spoke with Mr. Bill Howard, representing Guy Jarvi, this morning and it was his opinion that if the City should resolve the storm sewer problem by proceeding with reconstruction of the storm sewer system, the Jarvi's would then proceed with a damage suit against the Ocells and developer, Mr. Dave Gabbert. However, Mr. Howard did not rule out the possibility of naming the City--he just never included any indication that the City would be named. I suggest that we meet at an early date next week to make all efforts to resolve the problem with the Ocells and their attorney. If we are not successful, then we proceed with proper documentation through the City Council at the August 7, 1979 Council meeting and then a decision should be made as to how the system can be reconstructed per alternates presented by the Public Works Director City Administrator a ,a y4. aAte,IC. ?Z eaidwlllwq Cmplw"d .2335 V.

Olson This letter report supplements the data provided to you previously relative to the storm sewer in Ches Mar 2nd and 3rd Additions, particularly on Ches Mar Drive and that portion of drainage area which drains through the Jarvi & Ocel properties. The enclosed layout map shows the area in question. The drainage area can be divided into two sub-districts. The north area of 4.8 acres includes the drainage down Ches Mar Lane, Oak Ridge Circle and the north portion of Ches Mar Drive. The South area of 6.9 acres includes the water reservoir site, a portion of Dunberry Lane and the south portion of Ches Mar Drive. The north and south areas are separated by a slight rise in Ches Mar Drive. The present storm sewer system contains three catch basins at the intersection of Dunberry Lane on Ches Mar Drive which are connected by a 12" diameter storm sewer to the two catch basins in the north area and the 12" and 15" lines discharging into the pond north of Ches Mar 2nd Addition. The problems with the present system are caused primarily by: 1. The frequent high intensity short duration storms of the past two years. 2. The rapid runoff and erosion from undeveloped lots which bring sand and debris into the lines and onto the catch basins. 3. The very short concentration time of the flow down the streets in the north area due to the relatively steep street grades. 4. The larger drainage area now served as a result of the develop- ment of Ches Mar 3rd and the water reservoir site. Three suggested methods of alleviating these conditions have been investigated: Page 1. Mr. Tom Colbert Eagan, Mn. 55122 Re: File No. 49 July 12, 1979 1. Provide a second storm sewer line with two additional catch basins leading from the north end of Ches Mar Drive into the pond. Route of the pipe would be along the lot line between the Jarvi & Ocel lots and along the other storm sewer where it crosses the Jarvi lot. A new 15" diameter line will provide sufficient capacity to properly handle a full 10 year storm with- out overflow. 2. Divert the south area by installing a new storm sewer extending south from the present catch basins at Dunberry Lane and Ches May Drive to the edge of the well site and west in the well site to the lower land in the well site. The new line could be made capable of handling either a 5 year or a 10 year storm with minor changes in design grade. The present system in the north area would then be capable of handling a 5 year storm and is very close to being able to handle a 10 year storm with the present pipe and catch basins. 3. Install both systems which would provide protection for a 10 year storm at the south end and a 50 year storm protection at the north end. Cost estimates for each system are attached. For the south portion, approximately one-half of the drainage area is within the Ches Mar 2nd and 3rd Additions and the other half is the water reservoir-site. It is suggested that consideration be given to dividing the cost of this diversion equally between the Developer and the City for Plan 2. If Plan 1 is used, it is suggested that a cost division be utilized with the major portion of the cost being shared between the City and the Developer and a minor share representing the increased protection from a 5 year to a 10 year storm shared equally between the Jarvi and Ocel properties. If Plan 3 is adopted, the south diversion could be equally shared between the City and the Developer and the north added system shared equally between the Jarvi and Ocel properties. We will be glad to discuss this further with you at your convenience. Yours very truly, BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. Robert W. Rosene RWR:1i Page 2. MEMO TO: TOM COLBERT FROM: BOB ROSENE DATE: JULY 7, 1979 SUBJECT: JARVI-OCEL DRAINAGE PROBLEM The following brief summary provides the background of information on the drainage problems that have occurred at the north end of Ches Mar Drive at the Jarvi and Ocel properties. The area occupied by these two lots was first shown as an outlot in early sketch plans. After sanitary sewer was scheduled to be routed thru the area to serve the area south of this outlot, the sketch plan was changed to show two buildable lots. The development plan for the Ches Mar First and Second Additions showed two lots and indicated that the house on the lot now owned by Ocel's would be located on top of the high area of that lot. The house on the Jarvi lot was shown on the higher portion of its lot also. The ystorm water drainage plan was laid out to have an inlet from Ches•`Mar Drive into the natural pond and the intention was to have an overflow outlet out of the natural overflow at the west end of the lot. The design of the storm sewer system was based on handling flow from a 5 year frequency storm in the pipe and an overflow drainage route between the houses for larger storms. The storm sewer system was laid out with anticipation of some drainage from the undeveloped land east of Ches Mar Drive based upon existing topography. Subsequent development of the 3rd thru 5th Additions provided slightly more drainage area from this development. The grading of the Reservoir Site was also planned to minimize problems for the lots to be developed north of it by draining the site essentially west to Ches Mar Drive rather than to the north as part of it naturally would drain. The first major problems with the Ocel site apparently occurred with the initial excavation for the house. The first builder cut the high ground off and sited the house very low. The basement flooded and the builder withdrew. The second builder raised the house somewhat but still provided its walkout to the south at a low elevation and blocked the natural drainage from the pond around the west side of the house. After more flooding of the site occurred, a large culvert was installed by the builder east of the house to provide an outlet for the pond. The culvert discharged on the bank just inside the Ocel north lot line into the draw which crosses the Jarvi lot. Jarvi-Ocel Drainage Problem Memo July 7, 1979 Page Two We were not aware of the home construction nor the drainage problems until the first big rainstorm in August 1978. The Ocel driveway was shaped so that overflow from the street poured down it and into the pond on their lot. Overflow from the pond then poured out the culvert and eroded a large gully across the Jarvi lot. I am not sure if the first big storm flooded the Ocel house or not. After that storm, however, the Jarvi's attorney insisted that the culvert be plugged to avoid the washing damage on the Jarvi property. The Ocel's attorney agreed with this and had them plug it up as soon as an outlet was available for the pond. With the damage which had occurred and with no outlet out of the pond on the Ocel property low enough to protect their house, we prevailed on the developer to install a 15" diameter storm sewer from the inlet manhole at the Ocel pond to the pond north of the Jarvi home. The 15" line was installed with an invert approximately 1' to 2' below the outlet to the Ocel pond so that the 12" line from Ches Mar Drive would discharge directly into the 15" line without flowing into the Ocel pond. The 12" outlet out of the Ocel pond was left in place so that it could drain out after each rain as it received surface runoff from adjacent lots as well as the south half of the Ocel lot. At this time, the Ocels and the Jarvis were encouraged to shape their driveways so that any overflow from the street would pass down the lot line into the north pond without bothering either lot. After the 15" line was in place, the Ocels plugged their culvert. They also did not want the 12" outlet on their property and pro- ceeded to grade the back yard by building a berm across and immediately adjacent to the 12" outlet of their pond. The next big rain overlowed from the street, down the Ocel driveway which had not been reshaped and into their pond. The large berm washed into and plugged the 12" outlet and also filled up the man- hole with sand. I believe the 15" line was plugged by this material also. With the culvert and the storm sewer plugged, the water could only pond to higher elevations and eventually flooded the walkout portion of the Ocel house several feet deep. This portion had just pre- viously been finished with sheet rock partitions and wall surfacing, insulation, finish doors and trim, etc. Jarvi-Ocel Drainage Problem Memo July 7, 1979 Page Three After rising sufficiently high to do this damage, the plug on the culvert washed out and the area drained out across the Jarvi's yard with more erosion. This removed all the black dirt and seeding that had been placed after the storm sewer had been installed. (When the storm sewer was installed, we got Parrott :Construction Company to dig out excess erosion which had washed into the north pond and respread it over the Jarvi back yard at eroded areas, then black dirt was spread over all of it.) After cleaning out the storm sewer and the excess sand in the street that had washed down from the Ches Mar Additions, we again got Parrott Construction Company to regrade and respread black dirt in the Jarvi yard. By this time I think it was too late for seeding and sodding in the Jarvi's yard and they waited until Spring 1979 to do this. Just a few days after they had laid sod over their back and side yard this spring, a large storm again overflowed the road and washed out their sod. By this time, Ocels had reshaped their driveway and the overflow went northwesterly between the houses and not into their pond. The Ocel house was not flooded though they claimed water backed into their pond from the storm sewer outlet. The Jarvi driveway also washed out along the easterly edge as it had not been shaped to minimize the possibility of flooding along it. Again, we provailed upon Parrott Construction Company to provide a crew to relay the Jarvi sod and reshape the driveway. We had them shape a swale across the driveway but it was not made very deep and no berm was provided east of the driveway to force water to cross the driveway. The driveway was raised at the boulevard so that more water would pond in the street before overflowing. By surcharging the catch basins, they would carry more water. Permission was also asked and received from Larry who owns land east of Jarvi to place added fill at the end of Ches Mar Drive on his land. (This boulevard raising and filling at the end had been planned for fall 1978 and the permission had been granted then. Arrange- ments were made with Parrott to do the work. His crew was scheduled in on a Thursday. On Wednesday, the big snow storm hit and knocked out any possibility of doing the work until spring.) Another big storm later this spring overflowed the street, washed out the shrubbery on the Jarvi-Ocel line, tore up sod in the Jarvi yard and overflowed the jarvi driveway causing some erosion along the side again. Jarvi-Ocel Drainage Problem Memo July 7, 1979 Page Four Because of reported big storms for that night, emergency filling of the driveway and the making of a berm east of the driveway. The work was done in a hurry and without proper driveway rock. Both Mr. Jarvi and his neighbor Larry were upset by the job; Mr. Jarvi because of the large rock used in the driveway and Larry because of the berm placed on his property. The next day Bob Shockley replaced the large rock with proper crushed limestone in the drive- way and removed most of the berm on Larry's land. There are a number of other details and happenings which provide additional information on this problem. We should discuss it further with the Building Inspection and Public Works Departments and our personnel for their input. Exact dates of storms and of corrective measures can be obtained with a little research. Throughout all of the problems, we have tried to minimize the problems to the property owners, realizing that storms over a 5 year frequency will overflow through the yards. Unfortunately we have had entirely too many such storms in the last 2 years. These together with the erosion and debris from the adjacent development, the unwise siting of the Ocel house, the unfortunate site grading and the construction problems at the Ocel house have all added up to an intolerable situation. The two alternative supplementary storm sewer plans outlined to you should be given careful consideration. The north route with added catch basin capacity in Ches Mar Drive and an additional 15" line to the pond is most positive. The division line to the south would remove a significant portion of the drainage area and is not expected to create a problem on the Well Site property. However, it would still be possible to overflow the north end of Ches Mar Drive in a big storm due to the steep street grades and short times of concentration. I will appreciate the opportunity of discussing this problem further with you at your convenience. OCEL VS. CITY OF EAGAN GABBERT DEVELOPMENT INTERROGATORY RESPONSE INTERROGATORIES 1. A response as it pertains to the illegality of any act per- formed by Gabbert Development should be responded to by City Attorney's office. It is my understanding that Gabbert Development, Inc., during their platting of the Ches Mar 1st Addition, created Lot 8, Block 2, which with its existing topography did not provide for a positive storm water outlet from the existing drainage basin located on the south side of this lot. There were no recommendations made to the City by Gabbert Development as to how this drainage could be handled during the development of this lot. In addition, there were no restrictive easements dedicated as a part of the Ches Mar 1st Addition plat to pro- hibit any physical construction within this low drainage area. 3. See No. 2. 4. a.

It was our opinion at the meeting held on Tuesday, July 17, 1979 that the three of us meet with Thomas Ocell and his attorney to discuss what type of impact reconstruction of the system would have on the damage suit that was filed by Ocell against the City of Eagan. In other words, if the City chooses an alternative and proceeds with reconstruction of the storm sewer system in an effort to alleviate or pro- vide relief to the Jarvi and Ocell property, will the Ocells continue their damage suit against the City of Eagan as a named party. I spoke with Mr. Bill Howard, representing Guy Jarvi, this morning and it was his opinion that if the City should resolve the storm sewer problem by proceeding with reconstruction of the storm sewer system, the Jarvi's would then proceed with a damage suit against the Ocells and developer, Mr. Dave Gabbert. However, Mr. Howard did not rule out the possibility of naming the City--he just never included any indication that the City would be named. I suggest that we meet at an early date next week to make all efforts to resolve the problem with the Ocells and their attorney. If we are not successful, then we proceed with proper documentation through the City Council at the August 7, 1979 Council meeting and then a decision should be made as to how the system can be reconstructed per alternates presented by the Public Works Director City Administrator EXHIBIT B PICTURES ities Digi ity Control The following image represents the best available image from the original page.

Plaintiffs own and occupy a house and lot known as 4505 Ches Mar Drive, Eagan, Minnesota, more particularly described as follows: Lot 6, Block 2, Ches Mar First Addition, according to the recorded plat thereof, Dakota County, State of Minnesota. II. Defendant is a municipal corporation in such County and State, duly organized and existing under the laws of such State. III. Defendant, acting through its agents and employees, con- structed a storm sewer system for the purpose of collecting surface water runoff from Ches Mar First Addition and other lands within the City of Eagan, State of Minnesota. IV. Aforesaid storm sewer system was not constructed to adequately discharge aforesaid surface waters. V. Aforesaid storm sewer system has not functioned adequately to discharge aforesaid surface water and has caused great damage to Plaintiffs' property and home by improperly causing surface waters to DISTRICT COURT FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT Court File No. be discharged onto Plaintiffs' property. VI. As a direct result of such discharges and flooding, Plaintiffs have been greatly damaged. VII. By causing such discharges and flooding, Defendant has caused damage to Plaintiffs' property in the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00). Plaintiffs have demanded that Defendant compensate Plaintiffs for such damages and instal.] adequate storm drainage facilities to prevent such improper discharges and flooding, but Defendant has refused to pay such compensation and to correct the drainage problem created by Defendant's existing storm drainage system. VIII. That in doing all the things herein alleged, Defendant acted maliciously and was guilty of a wanton disregard of the rights of the Plaintiffs and by reason thereof Plaintiffs demand exemplary and punitive damages against the Defendant in the sum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00). IX. By continuing to maintain the present storm sewer-system without adequate facilities for drainage of surface waters, Defendant is committing a continuing wrong against Plaintiffs, for which Plaintiffs have no adequate remedy at law. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendant in the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), a mandatory injunction ordering Defendant to provide adequate storm drainage facilities to protect Plaintiffs' property against injury from surface water runoff, together with attorneys' fees, interest and costs. f1?

I was hoping to get this to you yesterday, but a number of things came up that prevented me from getting everything together. I am enclosing copies of all documents and letters that I have concerning this problem, and the rest of this letter will attempt to summarize the information that I have available and to dis- cuss some of the legal questions involved. I tried not to go too deeply in- to the law as I expect you prefer to do this on your own. However, I felt that a general discussion on the law might be helpful to you in deciding how to go. From what I have,it is difficult to say exactly when the first portion of the storm sewer, the portion leading into the iow area on the Ocei prupevLy, was installed; but it does appear that the storm sewer for Ches Mar One and Two was installed during the summer of 1976. According to the County Re- corder's office, the Ocel property was owned by Arnold Carlson prior to February 10, 1978. On that date, Carlson sold the property to Cabbert and on that same date Gabbert resold the property to Schimek Construction, Inc. Schimek is still the record owner, but the Ocels signed a purchase agree- ment with Schimek sometime before August 4th, which is the date that our office received the papers from Bob Rosene's office for the drafting of the easements. Keith Gordon of Bob Rosene's office told me about a week ago that Gabbert had copies of the plans for the storm sewer, but Keith is not sure that Gabbert was aware of the placement of the storm sewer, and the only way to really track this down would he to talk to Keith Gordon. The chances are, however, that the Ocels signed their purchase agreement with Schimek after the first leg of the storm sewer was installed. On August 4th, our office received a proposed easement from Bob Rosene's office. The easement covered both the portion of the storm sewer already in place and the new portion which would extend from the low area in the Ocels property to the lake behind the Jarvi property. The easements were drafted that day and put in the mail. to Dwayne Schimek and Ronald Swanson, the attorney for the Ocels, and a copy was left at the Jarvi house that evening. Mrs. Jarvi assured me by phone on that day that they would bring the signed easement into our office on Monday. She was primarily concerned about making sure that the gulley would be filled in and that the culvert on the Ocel property would come out. ;On the 9th of August, the pipe was 1,7 I Mr. Clint Gillespie November 10, 1978 Page 4. As far as the negligence claim is concerned, if it is true that the torren- tial rains that we had this summer were unforeseeable, then that would act as a good defense against the City's negligence. The willful and wanton misconduct claim is probably going to be impossible for them to prove. It is going to be the burden of the Ocels to prove all of these claims and the City only has the responsibility of responding to their proof. The trespass claim is going to be very difficult to defend against and perhaps statements should be obtained from all of the parties involved, including Carlson, Cabbert, and Keith Gordon in order to find out where we stand on this. I do not want to completely discount the negligence action since it is possible that there would have been damage to the Ocel house even if the rains were not torrential. This is also something that Keith Gordon might he able to help you on. I hope that this summary is helpful to you I know that you have been swamped with information from all sides and I have tried to keep this from getting too lengthy. If there is anything else that I can help you with, by all means give me a call. Very truly yours, PAUL H. HAUGE & ASSOCIATES, F.A.

The Ocel and Jarvi homes are newly-built homes at the north end of Ches Mar Drive. Both homes are below street level and have had severe problems with erosion and flooded basements this summer. To help alleviate the problems the developer recently installed a sewer extension through both properties, with City cooperation. Before the sewer extension was added, the Ocels had used a culvert to drain a low area on their property. The drainage from the culvert crossed the Jarvi property to a pond behind the Jarvi house and caused sever erosion. Because of the severe rainfalls, .the added storm sewer was unable to handle all drainage, and the old culvert on the Ocel land, which was closed by the Ocels at the request of City Engineer Rosene, opened up again and flooded the Jarvi property. The attorney for the Jarvis has threatened to bring a lawsuit to have the culvert removed. This attorney argues that the City is responsible because it allowed the Ocel house to be built and because the storm drainage system is insufficient to handle all the runoff. With certain improvements suggested by Mr. Rosene, City responsibility for any problems should be minimized, but potential for involvement in a lawsuit remains if the culvert is not removed. It will be hard for the City to order the Ocels to remove the culvert, but it might help to write the Ocels and let them know that if the culvert remains, the City will not be responsible for any resulting legal actions. Mr. Rosene will bring this up at the Council meeting tonight, and he will be able to fill you in on the details.

We appreciated the opportunity of meeting with you last Tuesday, March 23rd to discuss the proposed silt control plan to be used by the developer in the Ches Mar Addition and to discuss possible corrective measures to minimize the soil erosion on the City of Eagan well site just south of the Ches Mar Addition. Enclosed herewith is a copy of the proposed silt control plan which we reviewed at that time. This is for your file. We would also like to receive a letter from you outlining the possible course of action which could be taken to minimize the erosion on the well site. We expect to discuss this with the City Council at their meeting next Tuesday, April 6th on an informal basis. Please indicate the information which you would expect Eagan to provide and that information which your office could provide relative to the preliminary design of possible soil erosion measures. Also, indicate what action will be necessary by Eagan in order to prepare a request for funding from the State and/or Federal government to assist in the carrying out of such a soil erosion program. If desired, our firm could pro- vide the cross-sections and profile required for the project. However, typical types of soil erosion dams which you have found to be effective should probably be provided by your office for the preliminary discussion. We have appreciated your interest in this project and will be looking forward to hearing from you on this. Yours very truly, BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. g 110, Robdrt W.

This will allow the silt to settle before draining out a 6" culvert, onto natural grcundeover, and into the Itort!tcast Pond. A dike will be built of digit 1£-24" high, West of the intersection, so runoff fiord Ridgeview Dr. will be forced to drain away from Thomas Lake and into the Northeast Pond. Runoff from Lakeside Dr, will flow Nest into a holding area on the South side of the road before ulciratuly draining into Tho;:ma Lake. :, An 13-24" dike will be built of dirt on the North end of Chestiar Circle to atop water from draining to the North and into the Wilderness run development. A butt will be built on the East aide of Chest'.ar Circle to create a holding area to allow the silt to settle before draining out a 6" culvert and into the Northeast Pond. ;.i All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling operations, except for the future paved portion of the streets, shall be reseeded as soon as practical after completion of the excavation operation. Seed shall be rye grass or other fast growing seed to provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. 1/iA c r / David Cabbert - - -- DRIVE MAR 1 ?
