Commissioner Brainard asked what the minimum lot requirements are for an R-2 zoned lot. Mr. Palzer presented a chart of minimum lot sizes. In response to Commissioner DeVine, Mr. Rehbein reviewed the types of houses they anticipate to construct and explained the lots may have to be raised several feet to create walkouts to the lake. He indicated that Lot 8 would be a rambler-style lot. Chairperson Hanson asked where the building pads will be located. Mr. Rehbein stated the building pad will meet the 75 foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark and estimated the houses will be 75 to 100 feet back from the lake. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers asked about the lot width. Mr. Palzer stated the building pads on Lots 5 and 6 would have to be pushed back since you need 100 feet at the house setback line and a minimum 35 foot front yard setback. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers stated a house should be able to be located 75 feet from the lake at a 100-foot width. Mr. Palzer stated that is correct. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers asked about Lots 8 and 9. Mr. Rehbein stated those are much wider lots so there would be no problem. He stated they would agree to meet the 100-foot width and setback requirements. Chairperson Hanson asked if an attempt will be made to locate houses so they do not block the view of the lake from each other. Mr. Rehbein stated Pam Corr is about 80 feet from the lake and the houses will be 80 to 100 feet from the lake. Commissioner Wilharber asked about water runoff. Mr. Rehbein stated they have talked with the Watershed District who indicated they did not see any need to provide ponding but a swale will be included in the grading work to assure no runoff towards the Liebel house. He explained they would not be doing much to change the existing grade. Commissioner Wilharber asked about the 10-foot easement between Lots 6 and 8. Mr. Rehbein explained it provides a sewer easement and allows lake access for Lot 8. Mr. Palzer stated the City already has the utility easement. Commissioner Brainard asked if the Shoreland District Ordinance applies to this property. Mr. Palzer stated the City has not yet adopted the Shoreland District Ordinance and suggested silt fence be required along the lakeshore and property to the west. Mr. Rehbein reviewed the process they will follow with the plat and advised they may start grading but no homes would be constructed until after May 1, 2002. Commissioner DeVine stated his recollection that this type of project is what the Comprehensive Plan is looking for. Mr. Rehbein agreed this project would fit into the neighborhood. Page 3 of 7
