The flatter <br />slopes will catch sediments find other pollutants, <br />minimize erosion, provide ground water infiltration and <br />reduce runoff velocity. Steep slopes will be stabilized.) <br />Not only did the original lakeshore bank condition on the Waters' property <br />create an unsightly erosion and pollution concern, but the entire bank along the <br />Haters/Dennis properties has trapped water in their front yards creating a <br />hardship due to flooding. As previously discussed, the regrading and excavation <br />of a small portion of the lakeshore bank and overland drainage swale, as <br />proposed, resolves both problems and therefore the variance is justified. <br />Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding this <br />variance requi <br />Respectfully Submitted <br />WESTWOOD PLANNING « ENGINEERING COMPANY <br />Greg Wiischlie <br />Senion Project Planner/Landscape Architect <br />GP:ls <br />Plan Attachments
