City of Arden Hills-Comprehensive Plan- DRAFT <br /> access and public beach immediately south of the municipal border in the <br /> City of Roseville on the east side of the lake. Bullheads, Crappies, <br /> Bluegills, Carp, Sunfish, Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye can be found in <br /> the lake. <br /> The outlet of Lake Josephine is located at the northwestern part of the <br /> lake and flow to Lake Johanna through a storm sewer and ditch system. <br /> The Lake Josephine Improvement Association consists of lake area <br /> property owners. The City of Roseville and the City of Arden Hills have <br /> adopted joint regulations for Lake Josephine, which includes a maximum <br /> speed limit and a no wake zone of 150 feet from the shoreline. <br /> The Rice Creek Watershed District has noted that Lake Josephine has the <br /> potential to become impaired without additional protection and attention to <br /> water quality. The lake is listed on the impaired list for mercury <br /> contamination. <br /> Little Johanna Lake <br /> Little Johanna Lake is 18 acres in size and has a maximum depth of 22 <br /> feet. The lake is classified as a NE and RD lake by the DNR and Ramsey <br /> County, but as a GD lake by the City. It is a non-swimming lake, there are <br /> no formal public access points, and recreational uses are limited. <br /> The northern eight acres are within the City of Arden Hills, and the <br /> southern ten acres are within the City of Roseville. Northwestern College <br /> occupies much of the lake's eastern, northern, and southern shoreline and <br /> single family homes are on the west side of the lake. <br /> Drainage into Little Johanna Lake comes from Ramsey County Ditch 4, <br /> which originates north of County Road C in the City of Roseville and flows <br /> out to Lake Johanna. Little Johanna Lake and the ditch function as a <br /> settling area for stormwater prior to flowing into Lake Johanna. During <br /> larger storm events, however, water flows through the water bodies <br /> rapidly, which allows little time for unwanted nutrients to settle out of the <br /> water. As a result, the quality of Little Johanna and Johanna are <br /> compromised. <br /> Valentine Lake <br /> Covering approximately 74 acres with a 2.4 square mile watershed, <br /> Valentine Lake is classified as a NE lake by the City, County, and DNR. <br /> DRAFT 59 <br /> 3/14/2008 <br />
