<br />~e~to~n~or&~pair the storm drain located approximately in front of the driveway
<br />of 33 South Fairview Circle, within the city limits of Portsmouth, Commonwealth of Virgin~.
<br />inasmuch as this torm drain's inoperable condition has, in our opinion, contributed in~
<br />estimably to the stagnant water and related poor drainage throughout this area, We are,

<br />adversely affected, should this deplorable condition be allowed to continue." Signed by
