Drain Layer's Permit No. 751
Dear Mr. Crisp,
As you are aware your house at 110 Graham Road was connected by a licensed drain
layer to the Town's sewer system in 1974 under Drain Layer's Permit No. 751,which was
never issued because the Town was not able to inspect the installation work. Since almost
34 years have passed since the sewer connection was installed with no record of any
problems,the Town can only assume that the building sewer was properly installed and
therefore the Drain Layer's Permit No. 751 will be treated as a permit that has been
issued. As the property owner of 110 Graham Road,you have all the rights and
responsibilities of an owner.of property connected to the Town sewer system with an
issued drain layer's permit.
Sincerely,
. �J6

Re: Graham Road Culvert Replacement
Dear Property Owner/Resident:
As you may be aware;the Town is planning on replacing the culverts that cross
Graham Road just north of Ayers Road because the headwalls are in disrepair,
there is erosion of the steep banks and stream channel around these culverts,
and they are in poor condition. Our Consultant, Milone & MacBroom, has
developed.preliminary plans that depict the proposed culvert replacement and
associated improvements.
We have scheduled a public information meeting on Monday, March 24, 2008 at
7:00 PM in the Town Council Chambers at the Town Hall, 1540 Sullivan Avenue.
You are invited to attend this meeting to review the plans and provide input if
you so desire. The Consultant, as well as our Town staff will be available to
answer any questions or address any concerns that you may have.
If you have any questions regarding this meeting, feel free to call Bobb Grillo of
the Engineering Division or me at 644-2511 ext. 244.

Re: Easement to replace culverts under Graham Road
Dear Mr& Mrs Crisp,
The Town of South Windsor has plans to replace the two culverts crossing Graham
Road in front of your property. A Temporary Construction Easement and a Permanent
Easement are desired on your property at 110 Graham Road to replace these culverts.
These easements would be over the area in front of the culverts to allow the contractor
to clear brush,replace the culverts, construct a new headwall, grade and restore the
area around the culvert entrance, and to temporarily store materials and park
equipment. The Contractor will be required to keep the easement area clean during
construction and restore the area to its existing condition or better prior to the
completion of this project. The Temporary Construction Easement will terminate one
year after the completion of construction. The Permanent Easement will remain to allow
the Town access to the culvert entrance area for periodic maintenance.
Enclosed is a preliminary plan for the replacement of the Graham Road culverts
showing the approximate areas suggested for both a Permanent Easement and a
Temporary Construction Easement at 110 Graham Road. Also enclosed is a sample
Easement document for this project.
Please call me at 644-2511 ext 245 to discuss this matter further after you have
reviewed these documents. Thank you in advance for your input and assistance with
this project.

Jeffrey Doolittle, P.E.

RE: PROPERTY AT 304 GRAHAM RO , SOUTH WINDSOR, CT
Dear Sirs :
We would like ' to inform you of a storm water drainage problem
emanating from your property at 304 Graham Road, South Windsor,
Connecticut. Whenever a rain event occurs, storm water sheets across
your property onto Graham Road at such a rapid velocity that it then
flows into the driveways at 385 and 395 Graham Road.
This situation is causing a significant impact upon the residents at
385 and 395 Graham Road and must be corrected. It is our
understanding that there is a tenant leasing this property, however,
as the owner it is your responsibility to have corrective measures
implemented.
We have been told that the Soil Conservation Service is in contact
with your tenant and that they are investigating the problem and will
be making recommendations as to what corrective measures should be
implemented. However, as we have indicated, it is ultimately your
responsibility to correct the problem in a timely manner. Each day' s
delay can cause more damages to the properties at 385 and 395 Graham
Road.
Please advise as to what corrective measures will be proposed and a
proposed schedule for implementing these measures. It would be
appreciated if you could let us know before September 15, 1993 . If
you have any questions, please call me at 644-2511, Ext. 245 .
V ry truly yours,

Dear Mr . Strong :
There have been several instances recently where sand and silt have washed
out onto Graham Road from a field apparently owned by you. This problem
has caused the Town of South Windsor' s Street Service Division to dispatch
i
a motorized sweeper to remove the sand and silt for traffic safety. .
I have checked with most of the employees working here and have found that
this is a relatively recent condition. Their recollection is that this
has only occurred during the past couple of years. Prior to that there
was no problem. My own recollection is that the first year I noticed this
condition was 1987 when the vegetable stand was located there.
The latest occurrence was August 11, 1990. Silt was deposited on the road
and at the head of driveways across the street at 385 and 395 Graham.
Road Supervisor Ronald Asselin took pictures which will be available as
soon as they are developed.

I am by this letter asking that You silt and sand deposits off the Town ' sastreetke rective measures to keep the

SUBJECT: Site - Line Complaint 419 Graham Rd. Police Services
Mrs . Hills of 419 Graham Rd. (644-0366) has been in touch with
me regarding the difficulty in exiting her driveway onto Graham Rd. .
Her driveway is positioned on the west side of the street and just
south of a crest in the roadway . Because her driveway lies below
this crest approaching southbound vehicles cannot see the driveway
or any vehicles exiting it until they are almost on top of it . We
have had a "Blind Driveway" sign installed, however , it does not
appear to be effective.
I have advised Mrs. Hills that I was going to refer the matter
to your office as there was nothing more that the Police Dept . could
do . She has been directed to contact you if .she has any questions .
If I can be of any help .to you in this matter please do not hesitate

ON MARCH 21, 1988, A SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED IN THE AREA OF 412 GRAHAM ROAD,
SOUTH WINDSOR, CONNECTICUT. THE SUVEY DEALT WITH A QUESTION OF A BLIND
DRIVEWAY AND DANGEROUS TRAFFIC PORBLEM AT. THE VEGETABLE STAND ACROSS THE
STREET FROM 41.9 GRAHAM ROAD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE AREA IN QUESTION IS AS FOLLOWS;
GRAHAM ROAD IS A TWO- LANE ROAD WITH A POSTED SPEED OF 30 MPD
IN THE AREA THAT IS IN QUESTION . BETWEEN NUMBERS 419 AND 427
GRAHAM ROAD IS A CREST OF A SMALL GRADE . GRAHAM ROAD IS A WELL
TRAVELED ROAD FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK TIMES
OF 0700-0900 AND 1400-1830 HOURS, WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE COMING AND
GOING TO WORK. VEHICLES LEAVING THE ADDRESS of 419 GRAHAM ROAD
ARE NOT READILY OBSERVED BY SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC, BECAUSE OF THE
CREST OF THE HILL, AND DUE TO THE HIGH SLOPE OF EMBANKMENT IN

Dear Mr. McDonald:
I want to thank you for attending'the Town Council meeting on June 16,
1969 to discuss and review the mai.ntenan e problems regarding the town-owned
right of way adjacent to your property.
This letter will serve to s urr�;;,�.d�zsour discussion after the meeting
wherein the town will have topsoil p1a,c4d on the right of way and seed the
area with grass seed. This work will take place between labor Day and
approximately October 1st. It is my understanding that you will maintain
the right of way area and keep the arei, mowed and in a presentable condition.
As I indicated to you, the town does not have any immediate plans for
this right of way and you can feel free to use the area in question as an
adjacent lam area.
I am confident our discussion, and this summary, will meet with your
understanding and this letter can serve as an informal agreement between the
town and yourself rather than becoming involved in a legal lease arrangement.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at your con-
venience.
Very truly yours,

I have noticed, of late, that excess time has been spent loitering
around the Town Hall. This does not project a productive image
for Public Works supervisory personnel.
Therefore, commencing Tuesday, February 15, 1977, you will not
be required to report to the Director' s office unless summoned
for a particular purpose. Also, mail will be delivered to the
Plant and the Town Garage in the morning by an Engineering courier,
daily. You will hand to him all Purchase Orders to be signed
and will receive signed Purchase Orders. Correspondence will
be handled similarly.
Emergency contact will be made via telephone.
If correspondence requires copies, please note on the original
and Pat will make a copy and return it to you.
I trust these procedures will eliminate adverse comments regarding
employee loitering.
