Maravelas Comments: 130 Big Island <br /> From: Paul Maravelas <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: Joe Thull lake access request LA21-000017 <br /> Date: Monday,March 8,20214:34:16 PM <br /> Dear Ms. Curtis, <br /> I am one of several landowners at 130 Big Island and a historian of the island. I wanted to <br /> share my opinion regarding Joe Thull's lake access request(LA21-000017). <br /> I don't think it is reasonable to ask the Thull family or the immediate neighbors to trek <br /> overland to the northeast a considerable distance as is contemplated in the conditional use <br /> permit application. It is difficult enough to bring materials and supplies to the island without <br /> adding the additional complexity of having the lake access so far away. It would impart a <br /> great convenience for the owners of 480, 490, and 500 (lots 12 through 15, Morse Island Park) <br /> to have their docks and boats nearby as well,where they can be conveniently monitored. <br /> I believe the city should condemn a part of the southerly portion of the Three Rivers Park land <br /> in order to extend Anawan Avenue to the southwest through the Three Rivers land to the lake. <br /> Anawan Avenue is a platted street which adjoins Mr. Thull's property on the southeast side. It <br /> appears to me from maps that the distance from the current termination of Anawan Avenue to <br /> the lake is about 50 feet. The extension of the street would not affect the park district's land <br /> inordinately, as it lies on the extreme edge of the parcel and would not divide it. <br /> The west end of Anawan Avenue is platted to be 33 feet wide, but the extension I propose <br /> could probably be reduced in width if wanted. <br /> Paul Maravelas <br /> Mayer, Minnesota <br /> 612 581 8207 <br />
