It is our understanding that the applicants are proposing to construct a new home on an 8,000 square foot lot located at 1935 Lake Street in Roseville. The v.ariances for the proposed structure include a 10' variance from the street setback and a 9' variance from the lake setback. These variances were proposed because the lot in question is wide and shallow. The DNR does not object to the approval of the proposed variance, and recommends that the following conditions be attached to the variance: 1. Native vegetation should be planted and maintained within the 37.5' shore impact zone. Undesirable plant species that are not planted in the shore impact zone may be removed and the vegetation should be mowed only once a year. 2. The new structure should be screened rrom view on Walsh Lake using existing trees and additional trees should be planted where additional screening is required. Essentially, no trees should be removed from the shore impact zone. 3. The house, driveway, and other impervious surfaces located at 1935 Lake Street should drain away from Walsh Lake. 4. There should be no variance allowed irom the 25% impervious surface limit that is aliowed by the Roseville Shoreland Ordinance. For an eight thousand square foot lot the maximwn amount of impervious surface would be two thousand square feet. Thank you for faxing the variance request to the DNR for review.
