A defined pathway between the west corner of the sunroom and the lake. <br /> Kempf asked if the previous drainage would be eliminated. <br /> Curtis noted the property is located within the 100-year floodplain and adding fill within the floodplain <br /> requires a removal of an equal number of cubic feet of fill as mitigation for the floodplain filling. <br /> Schoenzeit asked what the elevation of the dirt would be reduced to. <br /> Turner indicated it would be 931.5, which is the 100-year high water mark. <br /> Kempf asked if the rip-rap would remain as is. <br /> Turner indicated it would. <br /> Mitchell stated the house has deteriorated to the point where it requires replacement. The applicant is <br /> agreeable with complying with the recommendations of the City Engineer. <br /> Mitchell stated they would need to review what trees would require removal and that they would like to <br /> retain as many of the larger trees as possible. Mitchell indicated he has been familiar with the property <br /> since the early 1950s because his mother lived in the adjoining property and that he is fairly certain the <br /> lakeside patio has always existed on this properiy from its original construction. They are agreeable to <br /> removing the concrete on the south side of the house consisting of 250 square feet. Mitchell stated they <br /> would also comply with Staff recommendations on the landscaping. <br /> Mitchell asked what Staff considers permeable. <br /> Turner stated it typically is special pavers or other materials that allow the water to flow through the <br /> material and into the ground. <br /> Mitchell stated on the west side of the property there is rip-rap along the lakeshore and that the level of <br /> Lake Minnetonka has historically only increased by one foot. <br /> . Kang noted Staff has recommended a reduction in the screen porch and asked whether the other <br /> reductions in hardcover were in consideration of that. <br /> Mitchell stated it is and that they are not proposing any additional reductions. <br /> Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. <br /> There were no public comments regarding this application. <br /> Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 6:58 p.m. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
