• June 5, 1998 Mayor Clarence Rannallo, City Council and Staff City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Rd. St. Anthony, MN 55418 Re: City of St. Anthony Water Resource Management Plan Dear Mayor, Council and Staff: The Silver Lake Homeowners Association Water.Quality Committee met on June 4th, 1998 to consider the St. Anthony Water Resource Management Plan. We have several comments and questions. 1. What is the city's plan for the RCWD recommendation that the city be more proactive before development occurs? We would support the city taking a proactive position on water quality issues in this Resource Management Plan. . • 2. WSB & Associates has made statements regarding treatment of water flowing into Silver Lake which seem to minimize the true extent of water draining into Silver Lake untreated. Todd E. Hubmer, P.E., letter to RCWD engineer Derek Knapp, dated April 9, 1998 page #4, paragraph 3, last sentence "the City of St. Anthony has very little drainage area tributary Silver Lake which is not pretreated." Although this statement does not appear to be a part of this report it appears to be used by Mr. Hubmer to justify the City of St. Anthony's failure to include a comprehensive plan for the storm water run off that flows directly into Silver Lake untreated. We have marked those areas that are currently untreated on the attached map. We are concerned with these areas flowing into Silver Lake and the fact that this plan does not address these areas as requested by the RCWD engineer. a. Approximately 3/4's of high density commercial area directly south of Silver Lake is untreated. b. Water currently drains along Silver Lake Road from approximately 35th and Silver Lake Road over to Edward St directly into Silver Lake with no treatment plans. c. Stinson Blvd from railroad tracks to Silver Lane (1/2 street) plus all businesses including a gas station, car repair, car wash, vacant restaurant and office building all drain into Silver Lake without treatment. d. All Silver Lane, Silver Lake Court and Silver Lake Terrace drain to Silver Lake untreated. e. Most of parking areas on the east half of Equinox Apartments drains to Silver Lake • untreated.
