In order to pro- (Continued) <br /> � tect the watersheds and lake from additional <br /> pollution, the city should: <br /> � <br /> 1. Include a 75 foot building set back from the <br /> � shoreline; <br /> � 2. Prevent polluting fertilizer from entering <br /> � the lake; <br /> � 3. Stop erosion into the lake and watersheds ; <br /> � 4 . Limit the maximum hard cover allowed along <br /> the lakeshore; <br /> i <br /> 5 . Prevent the removal of trees and shrubbs <br /> � within 75 feet of the lakeshore , which removal <br /> � results in additional erosion and pollution <br /> of the lake; <br /> � 6 . Prohibit major changes cf natu�al land <br /> � contours by grading, filling, or dredging, <br /> which changes result in erosion into the lake. <br /> � These unregulated activities have in the past <br /> • proven to produce pollutants which have been <br /> carried into the lake and water shed areas . He <br /> ` noted that these standards are consistent with <br /> those of the Minnehaha Creek �aatershed District, <br /> � the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, and <br /> the State of Minnesota. <br /> i <br /> Mr. Van Nest stated that the rural residential RURAL RESIDENTIAL <br /> � districts would be continued and increased <br /> under these zoning arlendments . The purpose <br /> � of these districts is to allow for the continu- <br /> � ation of agricultural activities and resiaen- <br /> tial uses. Additional restriction in these <br /> � areas are necessary because of the existence <br /> of numerous wet land and drainage ways to Lake <br /> � Minnestonka and Long Lake, steep slopes , in- <br /> terior soil types and other natural character- <br /> � istics. Because of the loCation of these <br /> areas and because of the expense involved, <br /> � it is necessary to minimize the need for ex- <br /> � pensive public services such a.s sanitary sewer, <br /> municipal water, major improvements in public <br /> � transportation, and most important, public <br /> storm water sewer and treatment faCilities <br /> ` for those areas . He noted that if these TWO ACRE MINIMU� SITES <br /> areas are allowed to develop as presently <br /> � allowed, i.e. 1 and 1 1/2 acre lots , then the <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> � <br />
