February 20, 2003 <br /> Len Kargel <br /> P.O. Box 236 <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> Re: Drainage Issues <br /> Dear Mr. Kargel, <br /> We sent you a letter last month regarding the drainage issues on your property, but we <br /> apparently had the incorrect address as the letter was returned. A copy of the previous <br /> letter is included with this letter. <br /> The Planning Commission reviewed the situation at your property. They have concluded <br /> that there is nothing more that can be done with the Little Pine Plaza to reduce the runoff <br /> from that property. <br /> Other property owners have brought the same concerns you have raised to our attention. <br /> The Commission has concluded that whatever stormwater issues you and others are <br /> experiencing are the result of area-wide redevelopment trends. Redevelopment in the <br /> entire downtown area has increased the amount of impervious surface and increased the <br /> total amount of runoff. The problem is compounded with each new project. <br /> The City is taking steps to address these problems in a comprehensive manner that does <br /> not stifle much-needed development. The Planning Commission has recommended, and <br /> the City Council has directed, that the City Engineer prepare a proposal to study and plan <br /> downtown stormwater improvements. The goal of the plan would be to facilitate future <br /> stormwater system construction along with advancing development. <br /> Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. If you have any further <br /> questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF PEQUOT LAKES <br /> Charles Marohn, PE <br /> Planning and Zoning Administrator <br /> Cc: Planning Commission <br /> Dawn Bittner, Zoning Clerk <br />
