PAGE 6 <br />*852 WILLIAM GREGORY <br />t <br />McDonald stated that once the City approved the <br />alteration of one designated wetland that it world be <br />hard to deny another applicant. <br />Rovegno asked if this wetlands drains into Lake <br />Minnetonka. Rovegno stated that if the alteration of <br />this wetlands harms the natural flow into Lake <br />Minnetonka that he wouldn't be able to approve the <br />application. <br />A Planning Commission poll was taken on this <br />application. <br />Adams stated that he was opposed to the dredging of <br />either of the ponds since the property is so close to <br />the lake. Adams stated that it is a beautiful <br />wetlands and acts as a natural filtration before it <br />gets to Lake Minnetonka. Adams stated that if the <br />applicant wants an open water wildlife pond that they <br />should dig is a different place other than a designated <br />wetlands. <br />Kelley stated that he too is opposed to the dredging of <br />the pond until he gets some more information from the <br />different reviewing agencies.

Goetten noted <br />that she is willing to listen to other suggestions from <br />any experts in the field. <br />Rovegno stated that if the applicant could come to the <br />Planning Commission with some good scientific data as <br />to why this designated wetlands would be better off <br />dredged, then he would be in favor of the application. <br />Rovegno stated that until he sees some more <br />information on the dredging of wetlands that he can't <br />make a decision. <br />Sime stated that his main concern is that this wetlands <br />flows into Lake Minnetonka. Sime stated that <br />anything that would interfere with the natural <br />infiltration into Lake Minnetonka he would not be in <br />favor of.
