24 Oct 18 Preliminary <br />Design concept, <br />5OCT18 <br />I think that when considering the abandonment and rehabilitation of the East Long <br />Lake Road, we need look no further than a project on the west side of Long Lake for <br />guidance. <br />The bottom of this sign reads as follows: <br />"Shoreline Habitat Restoration Project <br />Cooperating partners in this project include the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br />and the City of Long Lake. Additional funding provided by the Aquatic Plant <br />Restoration Program, Division of Fish & Wildlife, MN Department of Natural <br />Resources. <br />Project initiated in 1999. <br />For more information call 18886466367 or visit www.dnr.us." <br />As the Orono City Council takes into consideration all of the neighborhood <br />commentary, please consider forming a partnership along these same lines. East Long <br />Lake Road presents a marvelous opportunity to girdle Long Lake on it's east and west <br />borders with healthy restored lakeshore which would go a long way to improving <br />water quality. <br />I wonder if the LLWA could act as an agent to guide a partnership between the city of <br />Orono, the MN DDDNR, Fish & Wildlife, MCWD to create positive change for the <br />health of Long Lake? I personally volunteer to help with that work! <br />Megan Dayton <br />1305 County <br />Rd. 6, Orono, <br />MN <br />612 201 7673 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MCWD is a partner for the project but will only provide technical expertise and regulatory guidance. <br />There are currently no shoreline restoration grants available through the MCWD.

I'm thrilled you are <br />spearheading this transition, and am excited about the opportunities to create a <br />tasteful, educational, natural preserve walk in Orono that emphasizes the rural nature <br />of Long Lake, and its surrounding watershed of creeks, cattails and nature. <br /> <br />My comments are generally very positive about the direction you are headed, with a <br />few ideas for consideration. <br /> <br />I've broken out my input into three areas: <br /> <br />(1) plantings/run off prevention and water quality issues, <br />(2) educational signage, and <br />(3) facilities. <br /> <br />PLANTINGS/RUN OFF PREVENTION: <br />Samantha <br />Capen <br />Muldoon <br />1801 West <br />Farm Road <br />Orono, MN <br />55356 <br />scapen@hotm <br />ail.com <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
