<br />I <br /> <br />Dear New Brighton City Council Member: <br /> <br />I1we are not in support of the sedimentation pond plans for Pike Lake for the <br />following reasons: <br /> <br />1) Removal of more than 500 mature trees; loss of natural areas, habitat, and 1.5 <br />acres of wetlands <br /> <br />2) Increase in highway noise from the loss of trees <br /> <br />3) Disruption and probable loss of the egret and heron populations <br /> <br />4) Installation of a huge pond that may not improve much of the lake water quality <br />(It is estimated that only 5% of the water entering Pike Lake will be treated through <br />the proposed sedimentation pond.) <br /> <br />5) Future weed growth and odor problems in pond are a great concern <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />6) Pond will provide an attractive danger to the neighborhood children <br /> <br />7) Does not address lakeshore flooding problems after heavy rains <br /> <br />The New Brighton residents of the Pike Lake area are the ones who have to live with <br />the Council's decisions. You are our elected officials. Please consider our concerns <br />and vote against the proposed plans for the Pike Lake Sedimentation Pond. <br /> <br />I~~ <br /> <br />1Su-h fxuv,T\)~ <br /> <br />{tOY rJu Loh 't,- <br />Address <br /> <br />? 3; --OC)q ;r <br />Phone <br /> <br />..j /~4 /;;;00 / <br />Date <br />
