<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Dear New Brighton City Council Member: <br /> <br />I/we 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 />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 he proposed plans for the Pike Lake Sedimentation Pond. <br /> <br /> <br />I~Cd Mkc=J!\-k~ Uit <br />N EY\j DHlCSflT01\( IvtN <br />C-' <br />,::f5/ I;;;; <br />1 ~!~Co-q8/oo <br /> <br />j~-(:jo--cl <br />j ,:) AN{ E- <br /> <br />/ <br />/p:? <br /> <br /> <br />Name I <br /> <br />Address <br /> <br />Phone <br /> <br />Date <br />
