Owasso <br />Date: Monday, April 23, 2007 3:05:0(} PM <br />Page 1 0�.- I <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 tonighYs 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 Owassa 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 Qwasso. <br />Thanks you for listening to my co�cemlopinion_ I appreciate your service_ <br />Sincerely, <br />Benjamin Seirn <br />513 Heinel Drive <br />Roseville, MN 55113 ,� �� <br />i� <br />iSClp' rr'113� I I ��'nte�.t�im �a�.n�G' u���n����+��rnf��a����l�[_ �(M�I�F3,�4�1 � r� t)�1�+� ] � �����D� i ���4��. „ ��� �?�7�1?� <br />
