Re: City Case Number SUB2008-00048, Property Line Adjustment Application
Mr. Limbird,
My wife and I would like to thank. the City of Springfield for providing the Public Notice
for the subject Property Line Adjustment Application and giving us the opportunity to
review and respond to this Application for property in our neighborhood. We own Tax
Lot 00500, Map 17-03-34-13, street address of553 Edgemont Way. We are the second
lot north of the easterly end of the subject property.
In reviewing the application, we do not have any direct issues with the adjustment.
However, we do have a concern that we would like to raise. There is a private drainage
IU;e that runs south along the western edge of our property, crosses our driveway (we are
on a panhandle lot and located below the street level), and proceeds south down the hill
and across the Applicant's property, to an assumed connection with the Public Storm
system within D Street. This line is an 8-inch pipe which picks up at lease a portion of
the roof drainage from our neighbors to the north, the west, and the south, as well as all
of our roof drainage. There are several small landscape-type area drains that are also
connected to this line. We believe this line is located approximately along the new lot
line dividing Lot 7202, but does not show up on the Surveyor's document on the back of
the Public Notice.
Our concern is this private drainage line may be damaged during any construction on
these lots.' We think this line should be located and protected during any such
construction so as to not sever the roof drainage connection for at least three homes
above the subject property.
Again, we do not have any issues with the Lot Line Adjustment, just a concern about the
existing drainag<< line. Please contact me with any questions or comments. ,
Thank. you.
