In order to comply wilh the Wetland Conservation Act, uTtland mitigation of 4,234 s.f. is proposed next to the south property line near the middle of the proposed site. Mitigation requires movement of land within 75’ of the OH^^'L of French lake, which is not permitted and requires a variance. Changes in the existing grade arc not permined within 5’ of the lot line. The proposed mitigation will also require mov’ement of more than 500 cubic yards of material, requiring a CUP. When the access is improved, the applicant intends on plowing or burning the land and planting native grasses. The applicant has four horses that arc stabled in Delano. From time to time (typically weekends), the applicant may want to bring a few horses to his property (on the island) the day ^fore going riding with them. No more than 3 at a time would be on the property and they would not be stabled there or remain for a long period of time. For this purpose, the applicant wishes to fence the island with no more than a 4* clectnc fence. On lakeshore lots on Natural Environment lakes (such as French Lake), fences can not be located within 150* of the OHWL Ihe applicant proposes a fence location as close as 14’ from the OHWL. In the RR-1 B zoning district, horses are permitted as an accessory use. The applicant proposes no more than 3 horses on tlte property at one time. The number of horses permitted on the property is broken down as follow's: Total lot area: Less wetlands: I I acre for house (Section 10.20, Subd. 3m) 25.4 acres • 16.04 acres •1.0 acres 8.36 acres Since 2 acres of pasture ore required for the first horse and 1 acre for each additional horse. 7 horses would be permitted, assuming all 8.36 acres are available for pasture. Other Comments: City Engineer The City Engineer has reviewed the application. Me stated that a typical section of the proposed roadway should be included for review and erosion control measures should be installed, inspect^ and approved by the City prior to construction activity. ^linnehaha Creek Watershed District The application has been submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for review but no comments have been received at this time. MCWD approval will be required before wetland fill and mitigation are permitted. As a requirement of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distnet, mitigation of the wotland at a ratio of 2:l(filling 2,091 s.f. of wetland and creating 4.234 s.f.) is proposed adjacent to the southwest comer of the wetland along the southern property line.
