Per our conversation today" January 28, 1999
ln regards to the run-off tiom the gutter and downspout tbr our Carport that we are in the process
of building: we have been authorized by the Citv of Springfield, to use "splash blocks' under the
downspouts, which is consistent with the drainage on our residence.
We have paid tbr the Drainage and Storm gutter charges assessed by the "City" tbr the Permit to
build this carport so if there are an]'' problems arising in regard to drainage of water from our
propertv, we will be able to revert the runoffwater to the City gutters as a remedy to that
problem. The responsibitity of getting the water to the "City's" gutters willbe ours.
HOWEVER we cannot accept t'ull responsibility beyond that, BECAUSE there are N0 Drainage
or Stonn gutters to connect to. The only drainage for this property is a ditch along the dirt road
which does NOT run anyplace, just sits there.
There is no way we can hold the city completely harmless, for any problems arising after r,ve
would get any surplus water otf our property and out to the road, since there is no provision b,v
the city to drain any surplus water. On our own property, we will hold the "Cit_-u" harmless and
accept that responsibility regarding our own propert-y. Since there has been N0 problem in the 9
years we have lived here, we do not anticipate any problem in the tuture.
Sincerely,
