PHAT-AN TEMPLE VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION IN MINNESOTA 475 Minnesota Avenue, Roseville. Minnesota address: P.O. Box 13682.Market Place, Roseville, MN 55113 Phone: (612) 482-7990 June 24, 1995 Concordia Meadows Home Owner Association c/o Mr. Bashar Bakdash 513 Loven Ave. Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Association members: This letter infonns your association of our concern and of the preventive measures we win take to avert children from getting hurt in the pond located on the ea~t side of your property, adjacent to the temple. . . After contacting the City of Roseville, we understand the following: ~ 1. The Public Works Department issued a permit to construct a wet pond without referring to the Planning Department, which was well-aware of the greater neighborhood's and Temple's insistence on a dry pond during the hearing prior to the development. 2. The wet pond has been constructed with a bottom elevation of 827' and an outlet elevation of. 833', i.e. 6' of normal water over a three foot deep clay liner. A pond with such a depth of water adjacent to a slope steeper than 3:1 is certainly a hazardous area. 3. Mr. Aune, employed by the Public Works Department, stated that the Association, being the owners of the pond, is liable for any accidents that occur in the area of the pond. Therefore, the association should take adequate measures to prevent such occurrences. In light of these facts and of our historical relationship with the greater neighborhood association (you are certainly aware of our longstanding policy: "always cooperate with the neighborhood"), we will try our best to keep children away from the pond and with your pennission, we will place a sign on the slope near the pond: "Do not throw rocks and Do not play near the pond." Weare looking forward to your efforts to avert possible accidents.
