NADIA DOROSC HAK 7254 Stagecoach Trail Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 February 6, 1995 Ms. Mary Kay Wyland 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 RECEIVED FEB - 81995 ^ITY (1F LINO LAKCc Dear MS. Wyland, I attended the last meeting of the public concerning a change in rules governing the use and development of properties along designated wetlands in Lino Lakes. Since I will not be able to attend the next meeting I am taking this avenue to speak in the defense of precious wetlands. The wetlands provide many benefits to this and future generations. Besides being hares for herons, ducks, all kinds of fowl and 4-inny species of plants, they provide for floodwater storage, water purification, groundwater recharging and many other benefits. Since our property sits on a 100 year flood plain, my concern also is that the wetland rules do not change allowing for unnatural water run off and causing flooding where it was not seen for a while. I also believe that stricter rules need to apply to commercial and multi -use dwellings since their concerns will not be as personal as the ones of the immediate residents on the wetlands. They will also contribute to more environmental pollutions than the individual resident. I believe that we should adhere to the recommendations of the DNR since they are the professionals that deal with wild life, wetlands, etc. They have done the necessary studies to evaluate balances between nature and man. We cannot look at present dollar profit and forget about possible consequences in the future. For now we have the responsibility for being keepers of the land and we need to make wise decisions that will set a better trend for the future. I oppose any leniency in building permits in our area, especially those that concern the wetlands and wildlife. Please direct my comments to the correct carmiitte dealing with this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Nadia Doroschak 780-0340
