October 6, I960 <br />Orono Vlllace Council % <br />%This letter is Intended to describe the problems 1 have <br />encountered with my lake iMntage^ the intended remedies <br />for those problems, snd a request to the Council for the <br />necessary permits to proceed with the sork* <br />The area that has been the source of our problems is one <br />that I will refer %o as the •lagoon.” It is an area of <br />the lake that was dredged in 1967 in order to be a <br />«navigational waterway.* Since purchasing my property <br />in 1972 I have noted two major problems with the lagoon. <br />1. Significant amoxints of the shoreline around <br />the lagoon have been undexmined and fallen <br />into the lake. In one comer of the lagoon <br />this problem has become so serious that I <br />am losing direct access to my dock—I must <br />first cross over to a neighbor* s property. <br />In addition to losing property, the shoreline <br />going into the water has caused the lagoon <br />bottom to become shallow and mucky, and the <br />lagoon now needs to be dredged again. <br />2. At the time the lagoon was originally dredged <br />a culvert was placed in the Northwest comer, <br />recognizing the need for the water to flow <br />freely in and around the lagoon. In the eight <br />years that I have lived on the property the <br />culvert has always been plugged>up with silt <br />making it inopemble. As a result, the water <br />becomes stsgnant, accumulating large amounts <br />of floating algae and giving off an unpleasant <br />odor. There is a need for a good flow of water <br />through the lagoon but a culvert, which will <br />continually become clogged, is simply not the <br />solution. <br />In order to stop the shoreline from receding further I <br />propose rip-rapping around the area of the lagoon included <br />on my property. I would Install the rock this year using <br />red rock of various sizes (approximately 10# - 100#). <br />Ll
