The northern stretch of shoreline on Crystal Bay is one of the most prominent on Lake Minnetonka. We've carefully <br /> designed this proposed subdivision plan with the future in mind and to enrich the appeal of the properties in this area. <br /> Please let me know if there is anything further needed at this point. Otherwise, I look forward to getting next steps from <br /> you in preparation for the planning commission review on April 17th <br /> Best, <br /> Blake Swanson <br /> VP—Swanson Homes <br /> 612.710.8353 <br /> Blake@swansonhomes.com <br /> 1. Preliminary Plat Survey: <br /> a. Existing 1-foot elevation contours must be shown on the survey.Added to survey <br /> b. The existing patio abuts the newly proposed property boundary. A 10'setback is required from the proposed <br /> property line. The patio must be removed to meet this setback requirement or a variance request must be <br /> made. Please note,Staff will not support a side yard setback variance for the patio. Patio to be removed is now <br /> shown on survey. <br /> c. There is fencing along the existing perimeter property boundaries.Show any existing fencing including the fence <br /> height,including any proposed changes to the fencing. <br /> 2. MCWD Communication: Include any communication with the MCWD and copies of any MCWD permits for the project,or <br /> notice from the MCWD that no permits are required. I forwarded you an email from MCWD on Tuesday,March 28th,with <br /> confirmation that this will not be needed. <br /> 3. Conservation Design. Submittal of a conservation design analysis and plan is a requirement for all subdivisions created in <br /> the urban area. This parcel requires submittal of a conservation design plan. Please review the above link to address the <br /> conservation design criteria requirements. You may request to waive this requirement. You can request a waiver of this <br /> requirement by submitting a written request for this variance/waiver(email is sufficient).Staff may support the waiver <br /> because the parcel has been developed in the past and does not appear to have high quality woodlands or other natural <br /> features fitting the criteria for preservation.There are regulations in place which currently preserve the existing trees <br /> within the 75-foot setback,floodplain,and wetland areas.We would request to have this requiremend waived,as we feel it <br /> is not applicable to this application.We are not doing any grading or earthwork,nor are there any impactful natural <br /> features within the confines of this property that are not otherwise currently in established protection zones(namely the <br /> 75 ft. lakeshore setback).Also we will not be removing any trees as part of this request. <br /> 4. Narrative: Briefly describe the project and your intent for the parcel. Please address your plans for the existing water <br /> supply well which is located on proposed Lot 2 serving the existing home and detail the demo of portions of the existing <br /> house.Also note you plan to remove any existing trees.See above. <br /> 2 <br />
