SITE AND GEQLQQY <br />This is a lakeshore lot on the west arm of Lake Minnetonka. <br />The surface of the lot presently is generally about 3’ to 6* <br />above the lake level. There is an existing house on the lot, <br />which is to be demolished. <br />The major underlying soil type in this area is clayey <br />glacial till related to the Oes Moines ice lobe of the Wisconsin <br />glaciation. During the later recessional phase of the Wisconsin <br />glaciation, layers of alluvial silt and sand were deposited over <br />the clayey till. Post-glacial organic deposits have subsequently <br />formed at the surface, particularly within depressional areas <br />having no drainage outlets. <br />According to information published by the State of Minnesota <br />Geological Survey, the uppermost bedrock stratum under this <br />property is believed to be either Jordan sandstone or St. <br />Lawrence dolomite, and occurs at considerable depth below ground <br />surface, in excess of 200*. <br />o
