February 9th 1998 <br />Mr. John Velin, Director <br />Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources <br />Room 65, State Office Building <br />100 Constitution Avenue <br />St. Paul, MN. 55155 <br />SUBJ: LCMR Grant Application - Clearwater Creek Greenway Project <br />This letter is written to provide support and a commitment to the LCMR grant proposal <br />for the Clearwater Creek Greenway Project. <br />This greenway project addresses the citizens' desire for water quality, and wildlife <br />protection and enhancement efforts, as well as establishing trails of significance. The <br />concerns of our residents for a sustainable environment in relation to development and <br />growth is of primary importance. <br />Water quality issues in our streams soon become water quality issues in our lakes. The <br />greenway will help to provide the buffering needed to sustain the water and wildlife <br />resources. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes provide esthetics and leisure to all those who <br />live in the area. <br />This is also an opportunity to provide an opportunity to develop a trail link within the <br />greenway between the Hardwood Creek State Trail in Hugo and the Rice Creek Regional <br />Park Trails in Lino Lakes. This trail would have regional significance. In waiting one <br />year, and due to development, we have lost some significant opportunity to locate this <br />greenway along Clearwater Creek through Centerville. <br />The City of Lino Lakes will act as a cooperating agency for this project by providing <br />planning, engineering, and dollars for land acquisition, and greenway construction. We <br />are hopeful that we receive a favorable review from the LCMR on this proposal. Thank <br />you for this consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mayor, City of Lino Lakes <br />1189 Main Street • Lino Lakes, Minnesota • 55014 <br />Phone/MD: 612 - 464 -5562 • Fax: 612- 464 -4568 <br />
