Respectfully submitted, Clerk ~ Mayor f `R July 19 1971 Recauest 4 Lakeville Village Council: On July 6, 1971, the Burnsville Village Council voted to began temporary pumping at the west and of Crystal Lake to lower the lake level one foot before fall rains begin. The city engineer for Burnsville estimated it would take at least two months to extract a foot of water. The village of Burnsville would pay the entire cost of the temporary pumping. As homeowners whose property is in further jeopardy from the current lake level of approximately 935.3, we request the Lakeville Council to consider the proposal that the township of Lakeville take no legal action to interfere with the township of Burnsvil.l.e's efforts to pump Crystal. Lake as a temporary measure to alleviate current problems. e lb f 1 R • ~ • e7U~.~ ~4~ 1971 NpTR: In the attached request it states the following: TM.,.the curremt lake level of ap~aroximately 935.3." phis lake level was verbally obtained from two mex~ sent from Burnsville .Engineering department, Ju7.y 12,, 1971, to check problems at the Chug Northway ~?roperty.

Road Burnsville, Minnesota • 4 ~ July 19, ~1 REQUEST T0: Apple Valley Village Council ' Burnsville Village Council Lakeville Village Council _ At the present time, there are three culverts coming into the west end of Crystal Lake draining Buck Hi11 Ski area and three culverts coming into Keller Lake draining 600 acres of developed land in Apple Valley. There is natural underground drainage between Crystal Lake and Keller Lake, but no natural outlet from either of these lakes. The lake level for Crystal Lake for the past seven years has been approximately: 1964--928.1, 1965--931.3, 1968--932.3, 1969--932.4, 1970--933.36 and July, 1971--934.5. With the continued land development in the Crystal Lake Basin, there will be increased lake levels if any more storm sewers are directed toward either Crystal or Keller Lakes. As homeowners in the Crystal Lake Basin, we feel there must be a permanent system to control Crystal and Keller Lakes so that the lake levels are set and maintained at a maximum level and a minimum level, beneficial to homeowners around these lakes. Such a system would involve consider- able planning, effort and money and would perhaps take several years to accomplish. It is necessary to the homeowners that live in the Crystal-Keller Lake area,. and for future generations that will enjoy the recreational use of Crystal .Lake, that such a system be proposed, and that the work toward it be started now. We request the Apple Valley's, Burnsville's and Lakeville's Councils to begin .joint efforts to investigate those appropriate resources needed to begin formulating concrete plans to achieve a permanent water control level on Crystal and Keller Lakes. r,r T . { _ _ ~ , . ~ ~ ~ . : do ~ . ~ . ~ ~ ~ ~ ~r Sri z. fir,; ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ? ~a~ . the /ak s 6~ /rte lp.= . # ~ ~ .
