ATTACHMENT F Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, June 1, 2022 Page 4 Ms. Trapp indicated the City currently has a statement of purpose in the original section called “Policy Statement of Purpose” and there is a Waters and Wetland Policy and a Statement of Purpose. She thought if the Commission wanted to go back to have a language of purpose to go back and start with the language the City already has as opposed to starting from scratch. Member McGehee indicated she had in mind something that was more brief than that and not so regulatory. Chair Kimble thought the statement could be reworded and not so regulatory. Ms. Trapp reviewed the Shoreland Classification table with the Commission. Member Schaffhausen indicated Victoria Shores is a done deal but how do they make the distinction with something as lakeshore changes there is wetland that arrives that was not there previously and was open water, she wondered how that distinction is made in a lake. Ms. Trapp explained in general, regulations for lake are based on the ordinary high- water level, which is an established level that has been established based on the historical record of the lake. Things do change over time but generally regulations are based on an ordinary high level that has been established for a number of years for each lake. In addition, relative specifically to the wetland question, when redevelopment occurs, generally the developer needs to get a wetland delineation and that is done by a scientist who understands how wetlands and how the surface area changes. There is a scientific measure that is used. Member Bjorum indicated in most of the cases there are existing stormwater management within the existing boundary, he wondered if once it goes out one thousand feet does the existing language carry out for stormwater management or is there additional language that they have to add to prevent things from flowing into the wetland. Mr. Paschke explained stormwater management is Citywide. Ms. Trapp indicated there is a section about stormwater management in this that has not changed and it will be moved to the section where the rest of the stormwater information is located. Ms. Trapp asked if there were any concerns about the designations being proposed. Chair Kimble asked if the Commission was clear on the impact the one thousand feet will have on all the homeowners. Ms. Trapp explained anybody who is existing will be able to continue as they are today. It will have some impacts in terms of the potential level of development. Primarily it will be on the non-riparian lots.
