April 18, 2007 To: Roseville Police Department and Roseville City Council From: Kate Linder & family 631 Heinel Drive Roseville MN 55113 651-484-2077 April 23, 2007 meeting lp discuss placement of water ski course on Lake Owasso Of po>cd' To Whom It May Concern: My family and I have lived on Lake Owasso since 1989, and each year the water skiers want to place their ski course in the small end of the lake, which is where we reside, The small end of the lake is too narrow for the skiers, who must know they need to share the lake with the rest of us, including pontoons, canoes, and fishermen, None of these groups have special privileges, thus it is our opinion that the skiers should not have special privileges that interfere with the aesthetics and enjoyment that we try to pursue Subj ecl: Our suggestion is for the skiers to put the course on the north side of the lake, which is in front of the majority of their homes, and not even in Roseville, The noise from those huge motors is outrageous and disturbing for those of us who prefer to sleep past 7:00am, any day of the week, Aren't there any rules about noise pollution or times of use for water skiers? Please consider the people who live on the lake to enjoy nature and the beauty of the environment, and don't allow the water ski course in front of our properties, which has limited access, Regarding the water ski jump on Lake Owasso, it has always been in the large part ofthe lake, and although it is in poor shape and rarely used, it seems to have found its place in that same location for the past 18 years that we can recall. It would have no place elsewhere, especially in the narrow end of the lake, APR 2 0 'lIlinl , UIVI.
