<br /> DRAFT <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> I 1450 WEST HIGHWAY 96 <br /> ARDEN HILLS, MN 55112-5794 <br /> January 12,1996 <br /> Dear Karth Lake Resident: <br /> This letter is being presented to inform you of the City's exploration of alternatives for an <br /> outlet to Karth Lake. As Karth Lake has required pumping in recent years, the City Council <br /> directed MSA Consulting Engineers to perform a minor feasibility study to determine the <br /> alternate long term means for lowering the lake's water level. That attached report was <br /> prepared in September, 1995 and outlines several alternatives for accomplishing the desired <br /> goal. <br /> This issue goes back to 1986, when the Council indicated that the City would no longer <br />- participate in a short term cost sharing plan to lower the lake level. The City agreed to pump <br /> I the lake but noted a long term solution was necessary. As a resident with property abutting <br /> Karth Lake, you may recall correspondence from the City in November, 1994 which <br />- indicated the Council's desire to determine a long term solution to the water level problems <br /> at Karth Lake. <br />~ It is the City Council's intention to develop a cooperative relationship with affected residents <br /> as early as possible in the capital improvement process in an effort to generate a mutually <br />- beneficial, cooperative project. The proposed improvements consists of the installation of an <br /> outlet pipe and some form of pumping station at the lake. The main purpose of this letter was <br /> to provide you with the alternatives outlined in the feasibility study and the opportunity for <br />- your local Homeowners Association to consider how these alternatives may be financed. <br />- If you have any specific questions related to the Karth Lake Outlet Project, you may contact <br />- the City's project engineer, Greg Stonehouse at 644-4389. Should the Homeowners <br />I Association wish to meet with the Council to discuss the project in more depth, you should <br /> contact City staff at 633-5676. <br />- Sincerely, <br /> ~ ~p . <br />~ <br />JI <br />II Dwayne Stafford Brian Fritsinger <br /> Public Works Superintendent City Administrator <br />.
