April 4, 1E__ <br />Mr. Joseph Kiesling <br />9359 Jane Road North <br />Lake Elmo, MN 55042 <br />RE: Lake Jane Floodplain <br />Dear Mr. Kiesling: <br />This is in response to your request for information regarding the <br />location of your home with respect to the DNR's Ordinary High Water elevation <br />(OHW) for Lake Jane. The OHW is at Elevation 924.0 feet; Valley Branch <br />Watershed District's 100-year flood elevation for Lake Jane is at Elevation <br />926.0 feet. <br />Prior to the raising of your home in 1988 which required the placement <br />of fill, the home was within the 100-year flood plain, almost as low as the <br />OHW. The low floor elevationof the homewasat Elevation 924.3 feet.. As <br />a result of the raising and filling, your home is no longer within the <br />floodplain or lower than the OHW. On October 11, 1988, surveyors from Barr <br />Engineering Co.,. acting on behalf of the District, staked the 100-year flood <br />elevation on your property and measured the distance from your home to the <br />100-year flood elevation. They measured thenorthwestcorner of your home <br />to be 12.5 feet from: the 100-year flood elevation, and the southwest corner <br />of your home to be 24.3'feet from the 100-year flood elevation. You can <br />conclude that Your home is even further away from the OHW. <br />I have enclosed a copy of the survey notes for your information. I£ you <br />have any questions, feel free to contact me at 897-5503. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ka'lt� aeo-4z:4� <br />Karen Chandler <br />BARR ENGINEERING COMPANY <br />KLC/kc - .Engineers for the District <br />Enclosure <br />ALLEN DORNFELD RUSSELL KIRBY GORDON C.
