R ,7/ i "3 ®~ December 23, 2002 Mark Maloney Grass Lake Water Management Organization City of Shoreview 4600 Victoria Street North Shoreview, MN 55126 RE: Lake Owasso water elevation- Letter dated November 18, 2002 Dear Mark: Attached is a letter from John Frank, a property owner on Lake Owasso. He attended our Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan Public Information Meeting this past summer and requested that City Staff meet with him and his neighbors at his property on the south shore of Lake Owasso. The major concern of the property owners is the water elevation bounce in Lake Owasso, they are of the opinion that the outlet of the lake has resulted in erosion on their shoreline ~.nd should be lowered. Upon a walk over of the site, City Staff did not observe an immediate threat to the home on the property:' ' The'backyard is flat, with a walkout to the lake, but there was at Least 12 to 16 inches of freeboard between the lake and the lowest ingress into the home. Staff pointed out to the property owners the unusually wet climate we have had over the Last two years. We also recoimnended that some minor grading and shoreline stabilization would go a long way to allay his concerns. The property owners wanted further action, so City Staff referred the property owners to the Grass Lake Board. The attached letter was forwarded to City staff by Kent Kokko, it is our understanding that it will be discussed at the January meeting. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like additional information. incerely, V~ Debra Bloom, P. .
