Natural Environments Corporation 6098 Hwy 55 Golden Valley, MN 55422 Phone (763) 544 -8002 Fax (763) 545 -0204 Naturalenvironmentscorp. com February 14, 2006 City Of Little Canada ATTN: Bill Divertz Mr. Divertz, Thank you for your cooperation with our Sand blanket project located at 3339 Twin Lake Ct., Little Canada, MN. The project involves placing about 25 cubic yards of sand in the backyard of the residence, near the shoreline. The sand covers an area about 40 feet long and 15 feet wide. The area was vegetated with non - native weeds and grasses that were about 1' in height. There was also a buckthorn that was 5' in height. On Monday February 5, 2006, Travis Germundson from the DNR, met with you and me on site to review the project. At the end of that meeting, Travis stated that the DNR would not be opposed to the project. During our phone conversation on Thursday Feb 9, 2006, you requested that we obtain a grading permit from the City of Little Canada, and that I provide you with a letter describing our projects compliance with the Intent of municipal code 1801.010. The grading permit application will be filled out early next week. In addition , the rest of this letter will detail our compliance with the intent of the municipal code. Municipal code 1801.010 contains 5 points (a -e), describing the intent of the code. They are listed below, along with the details of the projects compliance. (a) To minimize health hazards by protecting surface and ground waters from pollution by providing proper drainage. The project does not significantly alter the existing drainage conditions. The scope of this project does not include changing the topography of the land, no impervious surfaces are being added and the slope of the lot toward the lake is very gradual.
