City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />10-4 <br />depth of 44 feet and an average depth of 20 feet. Lake Josephine is classified as <br />a GD lake. <br /> <br />The land around the lake is fully developed with single family homes. There is a <br />concrete boat access and public beach immediately south of the municipal <br />border in the City of Roseville on the east side of the lake. The lake is used for <br />boating swimming, and fishing. Bullheads, Crappies, Bluegills, Carp, Sunfish, <br />Bass, Northern Pike, and Walleye can be found in the lake. <br /> <br />The outlet of Lake Josephine is located at the northwestern part of the lake and <br />flow to Lake Johanna through a storm sewer and ditch system. <br /> <br />The Lake Josephine Improvement Association consists of lake area property <br />owners. The City of Roseville and the City of Arden Hills have adopted joint <br />regulations for Lake Josephine, which includes a maximum speed limit and a no <br />wake zone of 150 feet from the shoreline. <br /> <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District has noted that Lake Josephine has the <br />potential to become impaired without additional protection and attention to water <br />quality. The lake is listed on the impaired list for mercury contamination. <br /> <br />The fish in Lake Josephine were tested for perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) in <br />2007; however, the results of those tests were not available in time for the <br />release of this Plan. <br /> <br /> Little Johanna Lake <br /> <br />Little Johanna Lake is approximately 18 acres in size and has a maximum depth <br />of 22 feet. The lake is classified as an 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 no <br />formal public access points, and recreational uses are limited. <br /> <br />The northern eight acres are within the City of Arden Hills, and the southern ten <br />acres are within the City of Roseville. Northwestern College occupies much of <br />the lake’s eastern, northern, and southern shoreline and single family homes are <br />on the west side of the lake. <br /> <br />Drainage into Little Johanna Lake comes from Ramsey County Ditch 4, which <br />originates north of County Road C in the City of Roseville and flows out to Lake <br />Johanna. Little Johanna Lake and the ditch function as a settling area for <br />stormwater prior to flowing into Lake Johanna. During larger storm events, <br />however, water flows through the water bodies rapidly, which allows little time for Draft 04/04/2018
