Culvert Status: funds for the culvert are no
longer available. Rich Willhaus read a letter received from Lynn Eaton ,
MN DOT District Engineer, they consider the culvert to be acceptable for
the use it was intended. MN DOT will not be looking at this culvert for
several years. It was recommended a Task Force be formed to meet with
Larry Howe and Lynn Eaton and keep this issue open, so if and when it
does come up for repair the Lake Association can have a vote on how it
is repaired or replaced. Task force formed by Rich willhaus, Dan Rud and
Norris Kowalki. Meeting to be scheduled with Larry Howes and Lynn Eaton.
Martin Merck noted that the culvert is
impassable except by canoe. Concern was raised regarding the water flow
through the culvert. It was felt that it is acceptable for residents to
remove branches, rocks, etc. that are clogging the culvert.
Norris Kowalki questioned checking septic
systems. Stated sewer smell was noted at various areas on the lake.
County is responsible for inspections of septic systems on the lake. A
system has to be certified when obtaining a building permit, but unsure
if periodic inspections are required as well. Norris to check with
county regarding policy for septic inspections.
