<br />3.0 STAFF COMMENT <br /> <br />3.1 In reviewing this request, staff made the following findings: <br /> <br />1. Section 1016.13 identifies Langton Lake as a wetland through the use of MnDNR <br />identification number 204W and 49W. Changing the MnDNR identification <br />number to 49P will begin the process to change the designation of Langton Lake <br />from wetland to protected water. Upon adoption of the amended shoreland <br />regulations by the MnDNR, the designation will be changed from wetland to <br />protected water. <br /> <br />2. The designation of Langton Lake as "protected water" versus "wetland" will allow <br />public access and improvement of the resource through human intervention. <br /> <br />3. The proposed amendment is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the <br />City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). The change in <br />designation also supports the goals of the Park and Recreation Plan for Langton <br />Lake. <br /> <br />4. The proposed amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or <br />general welfare. <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />4.1 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3.1, staff recommends that Section 1016.13 of <br />the City Code be amended to change the MnDNR identification number of Langton Lake <br />from 204 W and 49W to 49P. <br /> <br />5.0 PLANNING COMMISSION AGION <br /> <br />5.1 The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this request on Wednesday, November <br />18,1998.
