3 <br />.-i <br />Ceil Strauss <br />March 23, 1994 <br />Page 3 <br />As we have discussed, the rationale for a single lake basin to incorporate three different OHW <br />elevations is perhaps tenuous. Clearly, a distinct basin with a large area of open water, such <br />as the South Basin, can be termed a "lake". The North Basin, on ^e other hand, has not <br />contained open water in recorded history, as can be attested by the 1955 and 1989 air photos as <br />well as the attached plat and ownership maps from 1850*1860, 1879 and 1892. (It is interesting <br />to note that Dickeys Lake, just west of Long Lake, at least shows up on the 1879 map.) <br />Please consider our request to have the North Basin and Sewage Lagoon redesignated as <br />wetlands rather than as part of the French Lake basin. With your approval, we will add this to <br />the list of Shoreland Ordinance revisions I anticipate will be adopted later this year. Please call <br />me at 473-7357 if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator <br />MPG/lsv <br />End.• 1" = 200 ’ Air Photos 1955, 1989 <br />• City Maps 1850-60, 1879, 1892 <br />• NWI Map <br />• uses Topo Map <br />cc:Jeanne A.
