MN" 5S331-9578 SUBJECT: PROPOSED �10ONEY LAKE OUTLET CITY PROJECT NO. 8019 Dear ·Eric: This is a formal response to the watershed 1 s request for comments 011 the draft feasibility study for an outlet to Mooney Lake. I had previously discussed this study with Peter CangialoJi, one of your engineers who l understand is no longer with the watershed district. The feasibility study adequately addresses the o.ptions on installing an outlet and we concur that the route outlined in Option 1 would be the preferred outlet routing by Plymouth. One of the items that was to be addressed in the feasibility report, Jn accordance with the Bonestroo� Rosen� Anderli� and Assoc., Inc. proposal dated January 27, 1999, was "The Benefits of the Project". The draft feasibility study does not even comment on the benefits or need for the project. Before the report is finaliud, your consultant should address the need and benefits of the project. This is a key factor in determining whether any improvement is necessa.ry. You also requested comments on the four optiom for funding as listed in the repon. It � Plymo th's opinion that this project should be funded in accordance with the past practices of the watershed d1stti t for other projects. Two of the most rec•ent projects which we are familiar with · a the Gleason Lake Outlet and the Chain of Lakes project in the City of Minneapolis. This same method of funding should be used if it is determined there is a need for this project and it continues to move forward •hrough construction. Sincerely, Fred G.
