C. Potter Residence <br /> 17665 Argon St. N.W. <br /> Ramsey, Minnesota <br /> <br />Riverbank Improvements at <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Schnelle: ' <br /> <br />I have received your letter of 9-24-82 requesting my <br />presence at the City" Council meeting of 9'-28-82. <br />Unfortunately I will be unable to attend due to prior <br />travel committments. At your suggestion, 1 am writing <br />this letter as a statement of explanation to you and the <br />City Council members in hopes of clarifying any misunder- <br />standings that may exist regarding the above referenced <br />improvements. <br /> <br />As you observed during your visit to my property, ! <br />recently constructed a set of steps descending from my <br />back yard to the ordinary high water level of my Rum River <br />frontage. The steps were constructed of reclaimed railroad <br />ties and were placed in what had been an eroded gully that <br />incised our river bank. This gully was overgrown with <br />sumac and briar and afforded only tenuous access to our <br />river frontage. '- <br /> <br />The property on either side of the steps was also cleared <br />of semi-dense undergrowth and was subsequently sodded. No <br />trees were'removed other than two dead elms of about 8" <br />diameter trunk size. A small, flat area between the toe <br />of the bank and the river's edge was also sodded. <br /> <br /> <br />
