ATTACHMENT F Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 1, 2022 Page 3 Chair Kimble asked if the two model ordinance columns would be for the riparian lots and then the others that are non-riparian but are within the thousand would follow what the City normally has for an ordinance. Ms. Trapp indicated that was correct. Ms. Trapp continued her presentation on sustainability in regard to the Phase Two Zoning Code Amendments, Title 8 Public Works Amendments. Member McGehee asked since there are three watershed, how did the City pick Ramsey/Washington, she wondered if this was the best one. She also indicated the wetland is not under the DNR at all, it is under BOWSER so there is no reason it would be regulated by the DNR. Ms. Trapp indicated that was correct and one of the reasons they are suggesting separating it out so that it is not confusing. She explained they were trying to keep as close to the model ordinance as possible. She noted Ryan is the one who picked Ramsey/Washington Watershed and is the one he liked. She thought they were pretty complete and easy to pick out the sections he liked and insert them into the City’s Code. Ms. Trapp continued her presentation on sustainability in regard to the Phase Two Zoning Code Amendments, Next Steps. She asked for Commission feedback. Member McGehee indicated when the discussion gets to the right part of the upcoming discussion, she wants to mention that the PUD is still available. She understands why the DNR likes the PUD and the mission. She indicated she was looking around at other cities and she thought it would be nice to draft a statement of what the City is trying to do with this. Chair Kimble indicated one thousand feet is a significant distance from the shore. She indicated if someone has a riparian lot the owner would be grandfathered in but she wondered what would happen if there were redevelopment there because people cannot resize a lot but what would happen if someone wanted to rebuild what would happen. She asked if a variance would be needed. Mr. Paschke indicated it depended on what would be proposed to be built. Staff reviewed some examples of redevelopment. Ms. Trapp indicated there are some rules in the State Statute regarding riparian lots. She reviewed the information with the Commission. Staff discussed with the Commission previous developments that the Commission reviewed involving lakes and the DNR in the City.
