RE:
Sanitary Sewer Extension
Cedar Creek South 7th Addition
Albertville, Minnesota
SEH No. A-ALBEV0203.00 14
On Tuesday, October 16, 2001, while installing the sanitary sewer for the above referenced
project, the contractor encroached onto the property of Bob Huering without Mr. Huering's
permission. It has been the city's policy to require developers to install sanitary sewer to the
limits of their property. To install the sanitary sewer to the property line the contractors
equipment disturbed an area approximately 30' by 50' of Mr. Huering's property. This area had
just been planted with winter wheat.
This was a situation that I should have recognized would require a temporary easement or at the
very least, permission from Mr. Huering. I have spoken with Mr. Huering about the situation.
Understandably he is upset about what occurred, and with my lack of communication with him
regarding the ongoing projects along CSAH 18. I assured him that what occurred was an honest
mistake and that we would restore his property to its previous condition. The disturbed area has
since been restored. I am waiting for Mr. Huering's approval of the restoration and an estimate
for the crop damage, which will be paid by SEH.
Please call me if you have any questions.
c: Mike Couri, City Attorney
