Dear Mr. Rahn:
Phone:(612)471-0590
Fax:(612)471-0682 On Friday October 23, 1998 you and I met on your property on Lake Minnetonka to
discuss a i�w�a�ea iYi y�ur�a,d�;:,:,�..�:.:evztic:: 93?.5. As ye�u '<now; 1:�nd belnl�the
931.5 elevation and landward of the ordinary high water(OHW)elevation of 929.4 falls
Email: within the 100 year floodplain of Lake Minnetonka. The floodplain is defined as the
admin@minnehahacreek.org areas adjoining a watercourse or water basin which may have been or hereafter may be
covered by a 100 year regional flood. The characteristics of your lot and adjoining lots
Web Site: may present special circumstances for the low area in your yard.
www.minnehahacreek.org
I observed an area of high ground that ran parallel with the lakeshore and extended across
your lot as well as the adjoining lots on both sides of your lot. This berm area is
approximately 20 to 25 feet in width and separates the low area behind your house from
the lake. The presence of mature trees on top of the berm indicates it has existed for
many years. There does not appear to be any direct connection between your low area
Board of Managers and the lake either on your lot or through adjacent lots. You showed me a site survey
Pamela G.Blixt plan of your lot that was developed prior to construction of the existing house and shows
James Calkins a spot elevation on the berm of 932.0. You further indicated that no alteration of the
berm took place during the construction of the existing house.
Lance Fisher
Monica Gross Based on the information you provided and on my observations of site characteristics, it
is my opinion that the low area in your yard is not adjoining the lake and therefore not
Thomas W.LaBounty directly connected to the 100 year floodplain of Lake Minnetonka.
