Ms. Jeanne Mabusth <br />Mitchell Variance (#1997) <br />March 20, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />In regards to the impervious surface issue, I understand that the <br />current proposal involves some conversion of the gravel area to <br />grass. I also understand that the drainage from the gravel area <br />goes to a grassy low area off the property and infiltrates, and <br />that it does not drain directly to the lagoon. <br />In summary, the DNR will not object to the city granting variances <br />for this site as long as the main lake setback is increased, the <br />percentage of impervious surface is decreased and the other <br />variance reguests are addressed in a balanced fashion. In <br />addition, I suggest the city consider a condition for the variance <br />approval that requires appropriate coloring of the proposed house, <br />and landscaping, to help the house blend in with the natural <br />surroundings when viewed from Brown's Bay. <br />Please contact me at 772-7910 should you have any questions <br />regarding these comments. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ceil Strauss <br />Area Hydrologist <br />CCS <br />c:Bob Mitchell <br />Lake Minnetonka file 27-133-28
