Dear Sir,
Re: Plat of Westwind. City of Albertville
County Ditch 19
John GeQrge Inc. is a Minnesota Business Corporation that is owned
entirldy by John F. Darkenwil.lda.nd George W. Yankoupe. The corporation
is now the owner of the former Mike Becker farm consisting of 10S acres
in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 35-121-24 and the Northeast 1/4 of
SectiQn 2-120-24. The Clemens Dehmers Estate was the owner of the farm
prior to Becker.
The portion of the farm withi~ the County 9 ditch watershed was
assessed for benefits when the ditch was first constructed. The farm
was also included in the 1983 assessment.
An 18 acre port i on of the farm was recentl y pI at ted as Weshlind. The
plat lies entirely within the City of Albertville. It is unlikely
that the platted area would use the existing Ditch 9 as an outlet since
the stprm drainage outlet for the portiQn of the plat that drains to
the South would outlet onto relatively flat land at a distance of
approxJmately 1760' from County Ditch 9. (cf. attached Engineer report
dated ~ay 31, 1988)
When, if and as subsequent platting and development occurs on the lands
immedi:ately west. and south of the plat of Westwind, it may become
necessary to use Ditch 9 as an out.let for storm dradnage. We~l.Jld
like to therefore suggest~ that appropriate county representatives meet
with our engineer to de~ermlrie to what extent If any, it would be
necessary to use Ditch 9 as an outlet. Based on their findings we
would then be in position to file an outlet petition and have the
matter determined by the County Board in a timely fashion before
subsequent development occurs.
We are prepared to meet with you and the County Board in order to
expedite handling of this matter.
Sincer Iy, ~
