. . . Dorle Vawter 1226 Ingerson Rd. Arden Hills, MN 55112 651 63 l-2076 dorlevawter@attbi.com January 13, 2002 Mayor and Council Members City of Arden Hills Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Mayor and Couneil Members: Thank you for working with the Ingerson Road neighborhood to craft a more reasonable road improvement project. Your support is very much appreciated. In response to the Council's request, the Board of the Josephine Hills Association and other interested members met in December to discuss the proposed road improvement plans and to seleet a Josephine Hills Association ad hoc Task Force to work on the Fernwood Channel project. The members of this Task Force include: Lynn Diaz Doug Hartford Linda Swanson, and Dorle Vawter. The members ofthe Association support in eoneept efforts to improve the water quality of Lake Josephine. We believe, however, that before we can finalize any legally binding agreement with the City about plans to redirect and dredge the Channel and to lay pipes and drains across Association property that it is necessary for the City and the Association to replace the "conceptual maps" of the proposed projeet with a detailed map that includes clear and accurate surveys ofthe property lines and easements including the current dimensions and location of the Channel and its bridges. I am writing to you on behalf of the Josephine Hills Association Task Force to ask that such a survey be completed and presented to the Assoeiation together with a eorresponding revised map of the proposed modifieations. These items are required before it is reasonable for the Association (and the City) to proceed with these critical negotiations. While we wish to be eooperative and not interfere with the City's plans to proceed with this pavement improvement project, we do foresee some potentially time consuming negotiations and therefore believe it would be most advantageous to receive these requested items by the end of January. This will allow sufficient time for negotiations to make changes in the master plan that reflect an agreement or a refusal by the Association to use its land before the assessment hearings in March.
