Project Narrative <br /> Freshwater Business Center Wetland Dock <br /> The Freshwater Business Center is submitting an application for the installation of a permanent dock <br /> which will extend into the open waters of the wetland located on the premises. The original <br /> Architectural design concept for The Freshwater Business Center was to incorporate the views of the <br /> wetlands,and surrounding nature. We believe the addition of a dock through the cattails and extending <br /> out into some of the open water,will allow the Center's tenants the opportunity to absorb more of the <br /> beauty and tranquility of this peaceful environment. <br /> We are proposing to install a Crepeau style of dock,similar to what one would see on Lake Minnetonka. <br /> It will be comprised of wooden boards 4'wide with metal framing. A sitting bench will be located at the <br /> end of the dock. We anticipate the total length of this dock to be around 128' long, with 24'of the dock <br /> extending over the open water,and the rest passing through the cattails. <br /> Conversations have occurred with Heidi Quinn, Permitting Technician with the MCWD,and Emily <br /> Herman,Administrative Technician with the LMCD. Attached are documents from both organizations <br /> stating that they do not require any permitting for this application. Also, MN DNR Hydrologist Jason <br /> Spiegel was contacted, and he stated that permitting was only required if cattails are to be removed. <br /> We are very excited to incorporate this project within the scope of this site. We feel that the design of <br /> this building transitions naturally into the wetlands and woods surrounding it. The addition of this <br /> project will further enhance that experience. We look forward to working with you on this. <br />
