Strommen observed that the UBC approach, coupled with <br />a 35 foot limit, is producing houses along the shore which are <br />actually high enough that they can block lake views of other <br />homes located further back. Ed Pick mentioned that the DNR is on <br />record (Appendix C) as willing to accept a 35 foot limit for <br />Minnetonka. The concensus of the members on this issue is that <br />35 feet or less as a limit and use of the UBC procedures is <br />acceptab1e. <br />Chairman Uttley asked members to comment on the Orono package. <br />Several stated they did not have major concerns. None of the <br />members expressed major reservations. <br />Ed Pick next made a few general comments regarding the processing <br />of flexibility requests. He reminded members that DNR only has <br />60 days to officially respond to requests, so it is very <br />important for each city to quickly review information the> <br />receive and act promptly. Ed said that if a city officially <br />objects to another city's request, the DNR will notify both the <br />subject and objecting cities of the situation and will attempt to <br />get their representatives together to resol'.e the issue. Someone <br />suggested that when a city sends flexibility information to other <br />cities it should be sure to copy staff to expedite review. <br />B.Wayzata consultant’s flexibility proposals ~ the <br />DNR response. <br />Ed Pick reported that DNR sent a response to the consultant in <br />early March which indicated that 100% impervious coverage for any <br />area is not acceptable. They indicated that the highest they ve <br />approved in the past was 75% (Burnsville. Maplewood). DNR also <br />is asking the City to provide more details on how low-coverage <br />areas which are used to offset high-coverage areas will be kept <br />pervious over time. Members seemed satisfied with this response. <br />C.
