are not in strict <br />DNR regulations. <br />conformity with the minimum standards of the <br />The special circumstances may include the following situations: <br />1. <br />2. <br />Where shorelands have been developed with an assortment of <br />urban land uses for many years and much of the development <br />does not meet the standards in parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900; <br />Cities with Central Business <br />shorelands; <br />Districts ■ located within <br />Conunent: It would appear Wayzata is a prime candidate for such a <br />provision under the DNR regulations. However, without the LMCD <br />recognizing this provision, a Wayzata Ordinance attempting to use <br />this flexibility would be inconsistent with the LMCD Plan. Where <br />other communities would also benefit from the flexibility <br />provision (Excelsior, Mound, and Spring Park), the LMCD should <br />reconsider its omittance and the potential resultant hardship <br />from the proposed regulations. <br />509 Plan - Minnehaha Creek Watershed District: <br />The 509 Plan is presently being prepared by the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District. This Plan is to establish controls to <br />shoreland area and includes all of Wayzata. <br />As part of the 509 Plan implementation, local governments will be <br />required to prepare wetland and stormwater management plans and <br />ordinances consistent with the plan's provisions. The Wayzata <br />Stormwater Management Plan is presently being reviewed against <br />the preliminary draft of the 509 Plan and a response from the <br />Watershed District is expected in the next several weeks. <br />The general consensus between Bob Obermeyer of Barr Engineering <br />and Ron Quanbech of the Watershed District is ^hat the Wayzata <br />Stormwater Management Plan is consistent with the 509 Plan and <br />may in fact be more restrictive. Slight changes, however, may be <br />required due to recent State statute amendments although th»'y are <br />n^t expected to be major.
