The lot <br />with the existing house does not meet the width <br />at the shoreline and the undeveloped lot does not <br />meet the width requirement along the building line. <br />Hepp asked the Commission for their input concerning <br />a property like his that has some 265' of shoreline <br />along Lafayette Bay and approximately another 140' <br />of shoreline along the lagoon. Staff advised the <br />Commission that the lagoon is not navigable and <br />functions more like a wetland. Rovegno questioned <br />if the ordinance distinguished between navigable <br />shoreline and non-navigable shoreline. <br />Council previously designated the subject lagoon as <br />part of Lake Minnetonka requiring a 75' setback. <br />Rovegno added that a wetlands would only require a <br />26* setback. He asked staff for some kind of guideline <br />to assist the Commission in making a determination <br />for applicant so he may proceed with an acceptable <br />plan. <br />E. T.
