GradingTilling within 75’ of the OHWL The 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 >’ards 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: The proposed plans have been submitted to the City* Engineer for rex iew. To date, no comments have been received. •03 ‘28S5 Qtrda and Ed Toth 417 2003 Page 3 of 6
