t ^0 lAWn TTSF PTAMWTMr TO:Planning Commision FROM:Jeanne A. Mabusth DATE:January 12, 1982 SUBJECT:#665 Richard Speeter, 659 Minnetonka Highlands Conditional Use Permit List of Exhibits Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3 Exhibit 4 Zoning Administrator's memo (12-7-81) Planning Commission minutes (12-7-81) M.C.W.D. letter (1-5-82) Site Plan Action Meeting In review of Speeter*s current application the exact area of the proposed dredging within the lagoon has not been clearly stated. The previous DNR application shows the dredging extending beyond the Speeter lot into the Henninger property. The area to be dredged is described as "an area extending 25* feet lakeward from 200' of shoreline". Review enclosed site plan - Exhibit 4. Applicant must specify the exact area of the dreding corridor. Summary of the M.C.W.D. letter of January 5, 1982 1) The area to be dredged is not located within the area now used by applicant for riparian boat access - this will cause the reviewing board problems. 2) A permit would never be approved unless the erosion problem causing the siltation of the lagoon is cleared up. 3) Area for consideration - effects of dredging of the lake vs effects on water quality from deposition of sediments from concentrated stormwater runoff. 4) Benefit to applicant of more sheltered location away from main lake. A DNR representative called to state that they would have a written response to the City concerning Speeter's application. The following comments were made concerning the Speeter application: 1) A previous dredging of the subject area will have a bearing on their review. In response to the statement that a wetlands had existed in the area prior to previous dredging of 1967 - the representative stated that based on the previous dredging and current cortditions of the lagoon that a wetland would never return.
