Karth Lake Improvement District <br /> <br />Karth Lake is a landlocked water body and has a pumped outfall. The pump discharge <br />enters a storm sewer system on Fernwood Street, which discharges into a pond and <br />ditch system connected to Valentine Lake. The lift station was upgraded in 2003 and <br />included bank stabilization improvements. <br /> <br />The Karth Lake Improvement District was established in 2003 by Resolution No. 03-60 of <br />the Arden Hills City Council. The resolution is attached as Appendix D. The <br />improvement district has many functions relative to Karth Lake which includes the <br />construction and operation of water control structures, improvement projects on the lake <br />itself, and the development of plans for the reduction of lake pollution and management <br />of the lake water levels. The district encompasses those property owners with frontage <br />along Karth Lake. <br /> <br />The City will continue to draw upon and utilize this improvement district for the purposes <br />of managing water quality and quantity and disseminating educational information <br />regarding Karth Lake. <br /> <br />5.4.1.2. Lake Johanna Improvement Society <br /> <br />The Lake Johanna Improvement Society is an association of lake property owners. This <br />group coordinates lake issues with the City through an informal process. This lake <br />association is a tool the City can use to provide educational opportunities. <br /> <br />5.4.1.3. Lake Josephine Improvement Association <br /> <br />The Lake Josephine Improvement Association consists of the area’s lake property <br />owners. The Cities of Roseville and Arden Hills have adopted joint regulations for the <br />lake, which include a maximum speed limit and a no wake zone 150 feet from shoreline. <br />This lake association is a tool the City can work with to provide educational opportunities. <br /> <br />5.4.2.
