Grading/Filling within 75* of the OHWL fhe existing house is located within 75’ of the OHWL of Lake Minnetonka. Demolition of the existing house will leave a hole in the grade that will require some filling and grading before the new home can be constructed farther back on the property. Since grading and filling of more than 10 cubic yards within 75’ of the OHWL is prohibited, a variance is required. The applicants do not propose to do any additional work within the 75’ setback from the OHWL. Other Comments: City Engineer The proposed plans have been submitted to the City Engineer for review. To date, no comments have been received. U03-2885 Cerda and Ed Toth 5/13/2003 Page 3 of 6 I
