Seview Bxhibits M ft M, Staff can see no change in the original awale along tha south lot line that Prottig had Inatalled. This still reosins ss a grassed eres. As you proceed lekewerd. the spplicsnt't eontrector hes Installed a stonad pathway leading to a pond that haa an undarlinar of plastic. The pond Itself has baan eonstructad with a plastic linar placed within the satire cavity of the p<md. Large bouldere outline the pond and a raised landscape area has been installed along the south aide of the pood with filter fabric undarlining tha entire landscape area. In addition, tlmim have seen new rock landscape areas with filter inatalled fabric adjacent to the boulder wall along tha lakeside of the house. Landscsping with filter fabric or plastic was classified sa hardcover by the City in s recent review by both Council and Planning Conaiiaslon. In fact, both groups unanimocsly votsd to classify flltsr fabric ss hardcover. As a result, the Isndscspinv adjacent to the boulder wall would bring the propertp over the allowed 2Si hardcover with the 75-250* aetback area and in addition, provide hardcover within the 0-75* setback area whara none in allowed. lAeview Bxhibits K ft L, Cook's letter and sketch regarding the current proposal. Once again, he calls attention to tha need to re-construct the swale s!ong the south side of the house. It should also be noted that the majority of work perforned within the lakeahore yard has been installed within the flood plain of Lake Minnetonka. All work appears to be below the 931.5 elevation. Not# the entire deck area and bouldara in the lakeahore yard have been placed along the line of tha 931.5. The 75* aetback line seems to be 5-S* west of the boulder wall along the lakeahore of tha housa. Cook also notes that the pond construction sesM to provide no significant improvexMnt to the quality or quantity of watar dischargad to the lake. Staff ITS r rsfii ixlstioa - Prior to asking the current owner to submit additionsl informationt regarding the current proposal, staff feels that it is the City's role to first advise the applicant what improvement would be more consistent with the City's policy regarding work within the lakeahore protected area and flood plain. At this point, staff can recall no application that dealt with the construction of a pond within the 75* setback area or within the flood plain of Lake Minnetonka. The previous drainage plan called for a awale that would continue and fan out withn the lakeshote yard based on the final elevation of the swale along the south side of the property. Once* again, the swale along the north side seems to be functioning the « ay it was intended. As the elevations in the lakeshore yard appear to be more graduated and tend to slowly drain to the lake. w>::-• •• - : • • ' ' V.y % toiling Pile I August 11, 191 Page 4 of 4 The Plan naw resident approvablt in X.
