^::9i. i <br />TO: <br />FBOH: <br />DAIS: <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Mark E. Bernhardson, City Administrate)' <br />February 22, 1991 <br />SUBJECT: "Group of 8"/LMCD Meeting <br />ISSUE - Provide Council an update following the February 22, 1991 <br />meeting of cities of LMCD who are in opposition to the <br />Comprehensive Plan as it currently exists. <br />INTRODUCTION - As you may recall Wayzata had called the meeting <br />of the Group of 8 cities who had been in opposition of the plan <br />for 8:00 a.m. on February 22, 1991. <br />DISCUSSION - In addition to representatives from each of the <br />cities being present, David Cochran, David Babcock, and Gene <br />Strommen of LMCD, Ed Pick of DNR were also in attendance. <br />The initial focus of the meeting was to discuss shoreland <br />regulations and how the cities may go forward with that <br />independent of LMCD. Various scenarios were discussed with DNR <br />indicating that they may not have funding available for cities <br />going independently and what their interpretation of their rules <br />were regarding approvals. As the meeting developed David <br />Cochran, Chair of LMCD, indicated that in his personal opinion <br />perhaps LMCD could either: <br />A. Delete the shoreland regulation portion from the plan <br />or <br />B. Serve as a facilitator for the individual cities to <br />work with DNR. <br />He indicated this may not be the opinion of a majority of the <br />Board, but at least he felt that could be something that he could <br />support. <br />Additionally he indicated that if the cities would request he <br />could support the Plan be amended to; A.) leave the Board <br />composition as it is (it was also suggested that he get letters <br />from the three agencies who indicated that they did not want to <br />have seats on the Board) B.) amending a portion regarding <br />additional taxing authority and only leave a statement <br />encourgaging additional funding the LMCD. <br />On behalf of Orono it was indicated the City would also like to <br />see tighter controls on the surface use density model, that <br />perhaps LMCD should get full control of the lake and not just the <br />surface (ie. that DNR give them jurisdiction over the entire <br />lake) and further that the plan define the issues related to <br />consistency between the plan and LMCD actions and also whose <br />approval would be required for any future changes in the
