~ENT BY: DNR METRO; 8-30-99 11 :13AM; 6127727573 => 6124902931; #2 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Metro Waters. 1200 Warner Road. St. PauJ, MN 55106-6793 Telephone: (651) 772-7910 Fax: (651) 772-7977 August 31, 1999 City of Rosevil1e Thomas Paschke, City Planner 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville. MN 55113 RE: Matk & Terri H.:ll1Son Subdivision ProposaJ, Lake McCarron's (62-54P), City of RoseviJle, Ramsey County Dear Mr. Paschke: DN R Waters has received (August 19, 1999) the survey (dated July 8, 1999) for the proposed subdivision of property owned by Mark & Terri Hanson for property located al304 North McCarrons Boulevard. The Hanson's are proposing to subdivide a single riparian lot into two 35,000 square foot riparian lots localed in the southeast quarter ofSecrion 13. Township 29 North, Range 23 West. In your cover letter, you asked for guidance on the placing of structures on the Hanson lots. From an . ecological poim of view, the best location for hom~ on these lots is on the property within 120' of Lake McCarrons Boulevard North. These sites are recommended because they are not located on steep slopes, which are prone to erosion. In addition, these sites have the benefit of being located relatively far from Lake McCarrons. Many Cities consider swimming pools to be structures and subject to the same setback requirements as houses. The swimming pool should be constructed close to the house of the property to allow the plumbing of the house to be used to drain the poot. Your letter also asks for guidance concerning the removal of vegetation in the area between the home and lake. In general, no""ious and e~olic upland v~gt=Lalion may be removed without receiving a City Permit.. However, the removal of shrubs and trees will require the approval of the City ofRoseville. H is only fajr to explain that many Cities choose to regulate only the culting of trees that are greater than 3" or 6" in diameter. The primary goal of retaining the vegetation on a lot is to preserve the aesthetic experience that peop1e have when they are on Lake McCarrons. However, it is allowable to remove selected tree branches and trees to preserve the view from a house to the lake. 10 addition to the above corrunents, we have the following detailed comments to oITer: L Lake McCarrons (62-54P), a DNR Protected Water, is located on the Hanson Property. Any work that is done below the ordinary high water (OHW) level of841 .4' (NGVD, 1929) i5 under the jurisdiction of the DNR and may require a DNR Permit Currently, it appears that there are no plans for work: below the ordinary high water level. However. should any plans be made for work at, or below, the OHW, then DNR approval win be needed. Should !here be any weLlands on the H<1I1Son Property that are nOt W'l.der DNRjurisdiction. then these wetlands will fall under the jurisdiction of the Anny Corps of Engineers and the Ramsey- Washington Metro Watershed District. Other DNR employees may submit comments in response to these regulatory programs.
