As far as a s e I f - i riipos ed hardship, in tlie case of chafiman Place, the rip-rap was installed to prevent erosion. f'hapman Place had the proper DNR and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permits. The rip-rap was done within the DNK allowance which requires a dis tance rjot exceed 5’ from the OHWI. to the toe of the ri|>-rap. tiralhwol said he can see flexibility in lerantirm licenses to marinas between 100' and 200*. treating the applications on a onc-by-one basis.
