As you have heard from other residents, we <br />have noticed heavier run off problems over the years on the same amount of precipitation. <br />Because of the Erin and Killkenny soils and their unique qualities, development on these soils <br />must be limited according to the Hennepin County Soil Survey. It appears that the storm water <br />management techniques used so far are inadequate. Our dock is 50 feet further out because of <br />the silting of the lake cause by the run off from Saga Hill. <br />When 1 was on the Orono Council in the 70's when the Comprehensive Plan was being <br />developed, it was understood we wanted development to be controlled to preclude the need for <br />expensive storm water projects that are not as effective as using minimal hardcover and <br />preserving wetlands. <br />Before any more development is approved, we should take the time to do a study paid for by the <br />city to set guidelines that will establish policies that will gain the confidence of the majority of <br />the residents. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gary and Sandra Welsh Phone number 472-6955
