MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,July 18,2005 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#05-3095 Minnetonka Portable Dredging, Continued) <br /> Gaffron stated the DNR has defined that the City has control and jurisdiction over wetlands below 929' if <br /> they are lake perimeter wetlands. <br /> Rahn inquired whether the DNR and LMCD have adopted a four-foot width on docks. <br /> Niccum stated the LMCD and DNR have adopted eight feet. <br /> Gaffron stated outside of the City's proposed Wetland Ordinance,they do not have any ordinance that <br /> would limit the width of docks. Gaffron indicated the City relies on the LMCD for the width of docks <br /> that should be allowed. Gaffron stated the intent of the Wetland Ordinance is to limit the impact on <br /> wetlands and that this application falls under the Wetland Ordinance since the dock would be located in a <br /> wetland. <br /> Fritzler inquired whether this dock would only serve this one resident. <br /> Gaffron stated it would. Gaffron indicated the property owner is in the process of remodeling the existing <br /> residence. <br /> Leslie stated it is difficult to discuss the width of the dock without knowing what the Council may or may <br /> not approve with the wetland ordinance. <br /> Gaffron stated the Planning Commission could give some guidance to the Council on what they feel <br /> would be appropriate for dock width. <br /> Rahn stated he would like the width of the dock kept consistent and that the Council should address <br /> whether the width of the dock can change at a certain point. <br /> Jurgens stated it is his understanding that the intent of the wetland ordinance is to minimize the impact on <br /> the wetlands and that a smaller width would accomplish that. Jurgens noted the current proposed <br /> language is to allow reasonable access to the lakeshore, which can be accomplished with a four-foot wide <br /> deck. <br /> Leslie moved,Jurgens seconded,to table Application#05-3095,Minnetonka Portable Dredging on <br /> behalf of Gregg Steinhafel, 2265 North Shore Drive.
