Zoning File #1216 <br />October 13, 1987 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />The applicant wants to dredge the pond so that there is standing water <br />at all times. The wetland is predominately dry with cattails -• the <br />alteration involves 25% of the pond area. Per the Engineer's report. <br />Exhibit E, the dredging will slightly reduce the assimulative capacity of <br />the marsh. The proposed depth will reduce alge growth and pond odors. The <br />Engineer sees no long term adverse effects on Lake Minnetonka as a result <br />of this project because of the minimal scope of the project. The project <br />will result in increase sedimentation capacity and wildlife habitat. <br />Prior to making a recommendation on this application. Planning <br />Commission should consider the necessary findings that must be made prior <br />to making your recommendation whether it be for denial or approval - <br />Section 10.55, Subdivision 25 (A), Items 1-7. <br />If approved your conditions should include the following: <br />1. Applicant to provide silt fencing near the pond outlet. <br />2. Hauling cannot take place on week-ends and may only be conducted <br />Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. City must be advised in <br />writing if it is necessary to haul on Saturdays. <br />3. The liability issue should be reviewed by applicant since the <br />creation of a 12 feet deep pond will create a potential hazard.
