South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Dr. Kurien: I have tried to contact you at your residence on several occasions but have been unsuccessful. My reason for this was to update you as to the drainage ditch that abuts your property. We have examined the entire swale and found that the developer had fulfilled his construction of same under his developer's permit. Although we found that the pipe inlet between the Manager's property and yours had some erosion problems, we could not blame the developer for this condition. It is our intent, as soon as possible, to regrade and install riprap in this area to alleviate the erosion. As far as what else can be done, I would like to discuss with you what, if anything, you are concerned_ with, and what, if anything, we can do to help. Please contact my office if you would like to meet with me at your convenience. Very truly yours, TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR Richard A. Shattuck Director of Public Works RAS:bw cc: Richard J.

Abraham Kurien 29 Rainbow Trail South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Dr. Kurien: Your letter was received by the Town Manager on July 10, 1980, and since the street signs are under the Public Works Department, he asked me to respond. Each sub-divider is responsible for the street signs in his/her sub-division. U & R Developers ordered all the street signs for your area, and they were delivered three weeks ago. Upon delivery., the signs were incorrect, as each sign had different street names on opposite sides. This was an error made by the sign-making company. The signs were returned and reordered. They assured the developer that the corrected signs would be delivered sometime during July. I would like to thank you for your interest in this matter, and if you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact me at anytime. Very truly yours, TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR Richar A.

Sartor, Town Manager RE: 29 RAINBOW TRAIL - DRAINAGE DITCH We have investigated the drainage ditch that Mr. Kurien complained about in his May 18, 1981 letter to you and found the following: 1. The ditch was formed and covered by the sub-divider to the Towns specifications. There is rip-rap the entire length, as required. 2.1 The entrance to the culvert that goes under Rainbow Trail has some erosion, and children have been playing in the area. It has not been the policy of the Town to maintain all the ditches that are built for drainage on a routine basis, as the abutting property owners usually plant a barrier of shrubs or -trees to hide the ditch from their view. We only repair areas that have become dangerous when reported to us by the residents. The following are my recommendations for this area: 1. We will repair the culvert entrance by reshaping and applying new rip-rap to the entrance, as needed. 2. Although we do not ordinarily apply a weed killer to the entire ditch, at some- expense to the Town, this can- be- done-. I feel, if this is done, it will become-- a precedent and could- become very costly_ and time consuming to the Town Public Works Department. I will wait for your approval before any action is taken. If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact me at your convenience. Richard A.'

ABRAHAM KURIEN, 29 Rainbow Trail, SOUTH WINDSOR, CT 06074 THE TOWN MANAGER,, SOUTH WINDSOR, TO;;-`N HALE, SOUTH WINDSOR, CT.- G6074 18th- Play 1981 Dear Sir,- I am writing this letter to bring to your attention the unsatisfactory state of town property which is adjacent to my property at the above address. The drainage canal,which borders on my propertyp.which is town property,looks as though the developer did not complete the necessary work -on it. I have waited for the town to take some action on it during the year that I have been in the town. I have now put- in a lot of time and effort to make my yard look presentable. I would appreciate your looking into the matter, before rain and uncontrolled erosion makes the necessary repair work more expensive to the town and more of an eyesore to those who live near it. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, P �7. Abraham Kurien. VN @ X vAA N,
