H. <br />I. <br />J <br />K. <br />L. <br />M. <br />Tlie filling and grading necessary to merely accommodate construction of <br />a residence on the property is reasonable as long as the impacts of such <br />grading are minimized to the greatest degree possible, both by house <br />placement as well as by using appropriate erosion control methods. <br />The removal of just those trees necessary to accommodate construction of <br />a residence is fair and reasonable. <br />Planning Commission recommends that the Council look favorably on any <br />revised proposal which might result in up to a 10 encroachment into the <br />street setback zone but which therefore reduces the impacts on the steep <br />slope and bluff impact zone by moving the proposed residence nearer the <br />street. <br />Planning Commission recommends that the fill and retaining walls on the <br />lakeside of the proposed residence be omitted, that the proposed deck be <br />allowed, and that any patio area on the lakeside of the residence be <br />constructed as a deck to eliminate the need for filling. <br />Planning Commission recommends that the applicants preserve existing <br />vegetation to the greatest extent possible to preserve the existing degree <br />of screening from Tanager Lake. <br />Planning Commission recommends that the tile drain system iiKorporate <br />an underground percolation system to minimize erosion potential. <br />The Minnesota DNR has submitted a letter of non-objection to the <br />variance subject to the following conditions: <br />The design of the structure and bluff alterations must be reviewed <br />and approved by a registered structural or soils engineer, '^is <br />review must consider the stability of the structure and appropriate <br />design to minimize erosion in the altered area during and after <br />construction. <br />Page 3 of 7
