r <br />4 <br />CAPITAL <br />MANACCMCNT,b <br />October 21.1994 <br />City of OrwK> <br />2750 Keley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 <br />Dear City Plarmtog Commission; <br />I am fikng an application to aHow my neighbor, Loren Butterfieid. to excavate peat on my <br />property. My objective is to have two ponds on my property at 55 Landmark Drive. Loren <br />has dug peat on his property, which adjoins mine, for a number of years under permit <br />through the dty. He is approved to do this; on his property, on an ongoing basis. I would <br />simply like to aUow him to do the swne on my property over the next ten years. <br />I have received letters of a^>proval from the DNR and the Army Corp of Engineers. I have <br />also received an oral approval from Andy Severson at the Minnetonka Watershed district. <br />He assured me a written approval would be coming soon. I ha\'e inspected Loren’s <br />property, where he has dug in the past and he does an excellent job. He uses the peat <br />that he digs in his greenhouse operation on Watertown Road. He has several ponds that <br />are a haven for wildlife, waterfowl in particular This is the objective for my own land. <br />Currently, the land is a peat bog with very little open wat t Open ponds would enhance <br />the land both for wildlife and aesthetically. <br />Enclosed is my completed application form, a copy of my certified survey (which shows <br />the location of the proposed ponds), a certified 350 foot property owner's list and a <br />topographic survey plus construction plan, both of which I completed for the project. I <br />have not included grading and drainage plans since there will be no grading involved and <br />the drainage wilt remain the same. Also, hardcover calculations do not seem to apply to <br />this project. <br />It is my feeling that this is a relatively simple Homeowner land improvement project that I <br />am proposing. I hope that it can be approved by the city with minimal effort. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel S. Perkins <br />enclosure <br />DSPbvh <br />730 east lake street <br />WAYZATA.
