I wanted to share my opinion <br /> regarding Joe Thull's lake access request (LA21-000017). <br /> I don't think it is reasonable to ask the Thull family or the immediate neighbors to trek overland to the northeast <br /> a considerable distance as is contemplated in the conditional use permit application. It is difficult enough to <br /> bring materials and supplies to the island without adding the additional complexity of having the lake access so <br /> far away. It would impart a great convenience for the owners of 480, 490, and 500 (lots 12 through 15, Morse <br /> Island Park)to have their docks and boats nearby as well, where they can be conveniently monitored. <br /> I believe the city should condemn a part of the southerly portion of the Three Rivers Park land in order to <br /> extend Anawan Avenue to the southwest through the Three Rivers land to the lake. Anawan Avenue is a platted <br /> street which adjoins Mr. Thull's property on the southeast side. It appears to me from maps that the distance <br /> from the current termination of Anawan Avenue to the lake is about 50 feet. The extension of the street would <br /> not affect the park district's land inordinately, as it lies on the extreme edge of the parcel and would not divide <br /> it. <br /> The west end of Anawan Avenue is platted to be 33 feet wide, but the extension I propose could probably be <br /> reduced in width if wanted. <br /> Paul Maravelas <br /> Mayer, Minnesota <br /> 612 581 8207 <br /> i <br />
