PNVIRQNMENT <br />JUNE, 1980 <br />11. DEVELOPMENT OR ALTERATION OF FLOODPLAINS WILL BE RESTRICTED. os <br />of the City's identified floodplains are located along the shoreline <br />or within designated marshlands and will be protected y o er pro­ <br />visions applicable to those areas. In addition, where floodplains <br />do exist on otherwise dry buildable land, construction, i mg <br />alteration will be strictly controlled so as to avoid flow restrictions, <br />to avoid flood level increases on other properties, and to avoid costly <br />flood damage or pollution dangers. <br />12. NATURAL RESOURCE INVESTIGATION WILL BE REQUIRED AS PART OF ALL <br />DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS. This will include topographical information, <br />soil analysis, drainage plans, vegetation plans, erosion <br />measures and similar site data related to each project, whether publi <br />or private. The extent of each such review will be determined by <br />probable environmental impact. Greater detail will be required of <br />larger projects than of smaller ones. As proximity to Lake Minnetonka <br />or a major wetland increases, so will the care and concern increase <br />in direct proportion. <br />13. ON-SITE WATER RETENTION FACILITIES WILL BE REQUIRED AS <br />RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WHENEVER <br />NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE THE EXISTING STORM WATER RUNOFF <br />PATTERNS. Whenever a development's location, size, scope or har cover <br />would tend to increase the quantity of runoff, increase the speed of <br />runoff, or decrease the quality of runoff, that development will be <br />required to provide on-site retention facilities sufficient to maintain <br />the existing situation or to improve the resulting runoff by reducing <br />quantity, reducing speed and/or improving quality. No development will <br />be permitted to adversely impact it's neighbors, or the City, by <br />changing drainage patterns or by otherwise adversely affecting storm <br />water drainage. <br />14 LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED AT THE EXPENSE OF <br />ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. No land will be permitted to be subdivided <br />or built upon which is held unsuitable by the City for the proposed <br />use because of flood hazard, inadequate drainage, soil formations <br />with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, <br />unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage <br />capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, <br />safety or welfare of the future residents of the proposed subdivision <br />or of the community. No land use will be allowed to adversely affect <br />the neighborhood's air or water resources nor will any use be permittee <br />to emit noise, dust, electrical or radiation pollution. <br />CMP 3-21
