• July 9, 1969 Mr. Michael d. Scheller Inspector village of Orono P. 0. aox 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Dear Mr. Scheller, Thank you for your letter and the Land -Use Application pertaining to our plans for dredging and fill at dig Island, Lake Minnetonka. The Minnetonka Pover Squadron is negotiating to purchase a certain Portion of land on the south shore directly adjacent to the north - south channel. As part of the procurement agreement we would like to dredge a channel east -west off the main channel. The dirt from this dredging will be used to fill a low section on our Property to make it useable recreational area. The attached sketch which was submitted with our request to the Minnesota Conservation De- partment shows the appriximate channel openings. We have completed your Land -Use Application in the areas you in- dicated. We also enclose a copy of our application to the Minne- sota Conservation Department, File Nr. P.A. 69-589, for further reference. A check for $30.00, enclosed, covers the fee for a conditional use permit. We will be pleased to meet with you at your meeting on July 14 to explain our plans in greater detail. Our primary objective is to improve and develop the recreational use of our portion of dig Island. Our squadron is dedicated to the elements of safe boating through education. We provide safe boating classes to the general public and participate in safe boating activities on the lake. We plan to continue our efforts to promote safe boating, assist in the fight on water Pollution, and generally enhance the recrea- tional aspects of Lake Minnetonka. We will appreciate your early approval of our request. Sincerely yours, /1 Steven J. H ss Executive Officer Minnetonka Power Squadron c/o: 5615 Girard Avenue South Minneapolis, Minn. 55419 enclosures
