Box 66 <br /> - = Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> November 10, 2003 <br /> David Lovelace <br /> 15331 Excelsior Boulevard <br /> Minnetonka, NIN 55345 <br /> Re: 220 Big Island - Authority for minar access maintenance <br /> Dear Mr. Lovelace: <br /> Pursuant to your recent request,City staff have reviewed the current status of the platted unimproved <br /> right-of-way between Lots 38 and 39,Morse Island Park,over which you gain access to your inland <br /> property per City Council Resolution No. 4456 dated Apri124, 2000. <br /> Condition 5 of Resolution No. 4456 allowed the construction of a lateral dock section to allow you <br /> walking access around the ice ridge at the shoreline. However,recent survey work has established <br /> that a walking path avoiding the ice ridge would force you to traverse private property on either the <br /> north or south sides of the right-of-way. Therefore, in order for you to retain access over the right- <br /> of-way, the City is taking the following actions: <br /> 1. The City has initiated the accurnulation of background information to support a pending <br /> request to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for fill and replacement of a portion of <br /> the wetland within the right-of-way, to create a suitable access for pedestrians and the <br /> occasional service vehicles requiring access. This process to gain approvals for wetland <br /> impacts is expected to not be finalized until spring 2004. Once approvals are obtained and <br /> a feasibility study is completed, the City will determine whether it will move forward with <br /> such improvements. <br /> 2. Pursuant to your request for immediate access relief, you are hereby authorized to make <br /> certain maintenance improvements to the access to ensure a minimum level of ongoing <br /> usability, as follows: <br /> a) You may remove the fallen,misshapen tree at approximately the center of the access <br /> on the ice ridge, where a natural lowering of the ridge already exists. <br /> b) You may remove the accumulated debris(branches, logs, etc) at this location on the <br /> ice ridge for a width of approximately 10-15'. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
