FILE#LA19-000053 <br /> July 15,2019 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> prior to developing solutions for the public, Planning Commission, and Council consideration. <br /> Staff has polled area communities to understand their regulations attached as Exhibit A. Excelsior, <br /> Wayzata, Tonka Bay, and Minnetonka Beach have an average lake setback similar to Orono's. <br /> Victoria relies on a 100 or 150' setback (based on the lake classification), and Mound does not <br /> have any additional regulations. <br /> Goals. Staff understands that the following are the goals of the ordinance <br /> Preservation of Lake views <br /> ■ Is it the city's intention to preserve a 180 degree viewshed,free of structures? <br /> Or reasonable views of the lake,given inherent development densities? <br /> Accommodates various unique circumstances <br /> ■ Include meandering, concave, convex shorelines, peninsulas. <br /> ■ Extreme neighboring setbacks (Farview Lane,others). Is it the City's intent to <br /> preserve views for homes that are setback more than 200 feet from the lake? <br /> Should there be a maximum ALS? <br /> ■ Unique orientation to the lake (Forest Arms Lane). Is it the City's intent to <br /> preserve views where the homes are orientated over another's' property? <br /> ■ Lots with double lake frontage <br /> Clarity. Any resulting regulation should be understandable for the layperson. This often <br /> precludes numerous exceptions. <br /> Examples of lot configurations and the unique circumstances they represent are attached as <br /> Exhibit B. Note the setback lines illustrated on the exhibits are estimates only, based on aerial <br /> photography. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission agree with the goals? <br /> 2. Does the Commission have additional goals that should be included? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff requests direction. This direction will be provided to the Council, and both will be <br /> used to develop regulatory solutions for future consideration. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
