<br />Page 2 <br />August 2, 1985 <br />City of New Brighton, Planning Commission <br />City of New Brighton, City Council <br />The properties adjoining our north and south property lines are residential <br />properties. We have large semi-trailer trucks moving about our property <br />and in and out of our driveways at all times of the day and night. The <br />extension of the fence forward of our building provides a safety feature <br />to preclude pedestrian traffic from passing too close to the entrance <br />of our yard. The fact we are between residential properties in an "industrial" <br />area is somewhat unique. <br />When we purchased the property we found that we had a well and pump on the <br />property. This well and pump is located in the northwest corner of the <br />property approximately thirty feet in front of the building line and approxi- <br />mately sixty feet from the curb on Old Highway 8. When we submitted our <br />plot plan to the city for approval we overlooked this fact. The result was, <br />we ended up with the pump sitting outside the fence. Recognizing this over- <br />sight during construction we moved the fence to enclose the well.and pump <br />in the yard. We are now aware that this was wrong. <br />We have been contacted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The P.C.A. <br />has expressed a desire to use this well as a ground water monitoring site <br />in its study of contamination originating at the arsenal property. If we <br />move the fence, we will leave the pump and well unprotected and subject to <br />vandalism and damage, not to mention the hazard of the 480 volt power supply <br />which powers the pump motor. <br />JLJ/b <br />Enc.
