MCWD Baard af Managers <br /> Janusry 14,2010 <br /> Page 3 I <br /> notices. As a Iast resort the City is able to have the work dane and assess any costs <br /> beyond the escrow to the property. If such a pracess is beyond the capacity of the <br /> District,cities should have the option of assucning this r�sponsibility for individuat lots. <br /> i <br /> ; <br /> Regarding Rule F—Streamhank and Sharetand Stabitization: <br /> Orono supports the goal of maintaining or restoring shoxelines and streambanks to their <br /> natural appearance and functian as mvch as possible. We share your concerns about t�e <br /> impact af rip-rap on trees and the averall appearance of the laleeshore. However we <br /> slrangty acfvise that the provisian requiringflvodplrr�n mitigation for rip-rap not be rrdopted. <br /> As we understand it,this provision would necessitate re-gr�ding of lakeshore areas. In areas <br /> with high sboreline banks,retaining walls would be required at tke back edge af the , <br /> ex�avatinn. AEl this is counter to the gaal af maintaining the uatural appearance of , <br /> shorelines and streambanks. We seriously question the physical feasibility and prscticality of <br /> such a requirement. Appliaatiob of the rule wouid trigger the rEqturement for canditional use ; <br /> permit and variance approvals uxtder Orono ordinances this neccssitates the complet�on of a <br /> detailed assessment of th.e physical and visuat impacts to the shoretine,and adds To the cost <br /> burden af the property awner,Further, in many cases the City would likely deny applicants <br /> the ability to take actions needed tQ meet MCWD pemut requirements. <br /> The prapased rule changes are troubling and in some cases in conflict with Chono goals and <br /> ordinances. In the spirit of the long-sfanding relationship of cooperation and partners�hip <br /> hetween Qrono and the MCWD,we would appreciate the oppcsrtunity to meet with the Managers <br /> regarding th�proposed changes to Rules D and F befare any actian to aciopt ar implement the <br /> changes is taicen.lf you have any questions,glease contact Assistant C`ity Adrninistrator Mike � <br /> Ga:E&an at 952-249-4622. <br /> � <br /> Respectfu�ly submiited, ` <br /> City of Orano ' <br /> j <br /> �• fiv.�� <br /> ; <br /> James M.White,Mayor � <br /> cc: Lakc Minnetonka Ar�a Mayars � <br /> James Wisker ' <br /> � <br /> � <br /> - ' <br /> i <br /> i' <br /> f <br /> , ,j <br />
