Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. <br />DO <br />MEMORANDUM <br />r CCTI992 <br />f RECEIVED <br />REGION VI <br />WATERS / <br />TO: LMCD Ttchnical Review Committee <br />FROM: Mark Koeglcf/ Mound Oty Planner <br />DATE* September 22,1992 <br />SUBJECT: Shordand Management Flexibility Requi»t <br />INTRODUi <br />The Qty of Mound is approaching hill devclc^nnent The community currently has <br />9% of its land classihed as vacant. Three parcels comprise the vast majority of <br />Mound's vacant Und. Ti e remaining vacant land consists of inhll residential lots <br />that are scattered throughout the community. <br />Development in Mound's early years consisted primarily of small cabins <br />surrounding Lake kffinnetonka. Cabins were cimverted into year-round r**«idenon <br />and the community saw the development of a downto%vn coouncrdal area and an <br />industrial zone. Tte development pattern that exists in the community today is die <br />direct result of diese historical factors. Correspondingly/ a land use pattern that <br />its origins in the 1900's is not readily adaptable to the dimensional development <br />standard'^ used in the 1990's. Without the application of reasoruble "flexibUity ” in <br />the interpretation of State Shoreland RulcS/ the vitality of the community will be <br />seriously threatened and the property rights of residents will be significantly <br />impaired. <br />The eventual adoption of Mound's shoreland management ordinance will require <br />flexibility in die foUoiving areas: <br />LAND USE <br />Application of the 1000 foot shoreland area to the Qty of Mound covers <br />approximately 85% of die eexxununity. Therefore/ new regulations pmtaining to the <br />shoreland area are being incorporated directly into the City's Zoning Code radier <br />than establishing a separate overlay zone. <br />LioaL'tf lavifaMMar-J • fliMMif Onpi <br />’WOMtmIwiraii/Sam 12^ • Maaafeitt.Mmmm iU}9 • • fiKl4l2)IJJ.3;60
