Owasso <br />Date: Monday, April 23, 2007 3:05:00 PM <br /> <br />Dear City Council Members, <br />My name is Benjamin Seim of 513 Heinel Drive and I'm writing to share my concern over a topic to <br />be discussed a tonight's council meeting (sorry for the late input). <br />I have no concerns or problems with the proposed slalom ski course. I do however think that the <br />ski jump should not be on Lake Owasso for safety, aesthetic and utility reasons. lake Owasso is not very <br />big and a permanent stationary obstacle on the lake increases the risk of an accident. After dark the ski <br />jump is especially dangerous as it does not have any lights so that people can see and avoid the jump. <br />From an aesthetic perspective, while this is a highly developed lake, it is also a very beautiful lake that <br />does not need the eye sore of a ski jump that is never used. I talked to my neighbor and she has never <br />seen the ski jump used in 17 years. Many people enjoy water sports on lake Owasso and encumbering <br />the lake with a permanent obstacle does not serve the greater good of the community, it creates a safety <br />issue as well as an eye sore. I do not think the City Council should approve the placement of an <br />underutilized ski jump on lake Owasso. <br />Thanks you for listening to my concern/opinion. I appreciate your service. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Benjamin Seim <br />513 Heinel Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br /> <br />No <br /> <br />http://mailcenter.comcast.netlwmc/v/wm/462D20C9000BA08AOOOO ] 3B822007 507849D... 4/23/2007 <br />
