A. Reduce danger to health by protecting surface and ground water <br />supplies from the impairment which results from incompatible land <br />uses by providing safe and sanitary drainage. <br />(Overland site drainage and slope stabilization to control water <br />born erosion and sediment migration to the lake). <br />Subd. 1. B.Reduce the financial burdens imposed both on this community and on <br />communities within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and the <br />Individuals therein by frequent floods and overlow of water on <br />lands. <br />(Positive front yard drainage and home flood protection) <br />Subd, 1, C.

Prevent the development of structures in areas unfit for human <br />usage by reason of danger from flooding, unsanitary conditions or <br />other hazards. <br />(Flooding protection) <br />Subd. 1.
