I think we should have more confirmation that the proposal does not include any filling or grading. The riprap request appears to be an improvement. It is a continuation of the neighbor's shoreline riprap. It would protect the shoreline from further erosion.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 Subject: Bowers & Nelson Application for Rip -Rap and Retaining Walls. Dear Mr. Muhich: We have reviewed the application of J.K. Bowers, 2905 Casco Point Road and Robert Nelson, 4109 Highwood Road, and have the following comments. 2905 Casco Point Road Mr. Bowers proposes replacing a badly deteriorated concrete block wall with a timber wall. His plan shows the timber wall to be five feet high with the top of the wall approximately 11 feet above lake level. He also proposes to place rip -rap as erosion protection on 60 feet of shoreline. The lots either side of him have existing rip -rap on the shoreline. We feel the proposed improvements would improve the appearance of the property and will protect the lake from erosion, particularly if the existing wall fails. We concur with your recommendations in your memorandum of February 17, that the existing concrete slab be removed to conform with the hardcover regulations and that no filling or grading, other than a very minimum of backfill, which will be required behind the retaining wall will be permitted. 4109 Highwood Lane We recommend approval of this application with the provision that no grading or filling on the lot will be MEIR7RM permitttedincoonjunction with the construction.
