Please include this letter in the project file documenting the state's concerns. <br />The State of Minnesota, Department of Natural Resources, Trails & Waterways Unit manages the <br />Luce Line State Trail on the south side and the Wakefield-Conry Rest Area on the cast side of the <br />Stickney property. The main concern is that the proposed development does not adversely effect the <br />water drainage along the state trail or adjoining state property. <br />There are several specific concerns regarding the Preliminary Grading & Drainage Plan dated June 9, <br />1999. This plan proposes extending an 18" culvert fi*om the existing 36" culvert under the Luce Line <br />Trail to the Stickney property and constructing a catch basin on the private property. The developer <br />has been made aware that the existing 36" culvert under the main treadway of the Luce Line Trail is <br />original to the railroad construction. This culvert will need to be replaced by the developer. The <br />DNR will continue to own and maintain all culverts on state property. <br />The proposed elevation of the rim of the catch basin is to be at 966.3 ft, which is the calculated 100 <br />year flood level. Currently, the elevation of the horse trail treadway of the Luce Line Trail ranges <br />fi-om 960.5 to 964 on the southern border of the development. The developer has agreed to raise the <br />horse trail treadway to an elevation of 967 ft. Detailed plans of the grading, slopes, treadway <br />dimensions, and type of material proposed for the horse t rail will need to be submitted to the DNR, <br />Trails & Waterways Unit, for final project review and approval. <br />DNR Information: 612-296-6157.1-800-766-6000 • TTY: 112-296-5484.1-800-657-3929 <br />An Equal Oppominity Employer <br />Who Values Diveisiiy <br />Printed on Recycled Paper Containing a <br />Minimum of ICW Po%l-Consumer WaMC <br />1
