Dear George:
Kenco Enterprises. Inc. and Pilot Land Development Co. has contacted Wright County regarding
the ability to do ditch cleaning at zero cost to the abutting property owners. Please indicate your
support for such an action to restore this ditch to its predetermined flow elevations as determined
by ~Vright County via the culvert elevations under these two roads. In some locations,
sedimentation of up to .four feet may need to be removed. Most of the ditch obstructions are at
the points immediately downstream from the lateral ditches. Development in Albertville is
planned to construct holding ponds for both sediment and water volume in order to release water
at a much slower rate than the farm fields release to date.
In order to clean the ditch. please indicate your authorization to allow access within a 50 foot
area either side of the ditch on or along your property by signing below. Sediment from the ditch
will be smoothed out after our work. We hope to do this work between January 1 and ivlarch 3l.
1998 to have the ditch clean before the spring runoff period. This work will restore the ditch to
the levels achieved during t}~e last clean out in 1979 or these about.
Please coat=act me with anv ~!restiens. Alain. this work will not generate any direct assessment.
we witl smooth out the ditch muck upon completion on your property near the ditch, we will pile
any trees needing removal in the same area for your use as fire wood, etc. We can also meet on
site to review the work with each land owner.
