DNR Waters has reviewed the September 27, 20001etter and the accompanying plans and DNR <br />Waters will not object to the approval of the variance request. However, we strongly recommend that the <br />following alternatives for reducing the nonconformance of the existing house with the City of Roseville <br />Shoreland Management Ordinance be investigated by Roberta Sladky: <br />Constructing the three-season porch to the east, and flush with, of the main structure. <br />Constructing a three-season porch that is smaller and less non-conforming than the original three <br />season porch. <br />The proposals above have an advantage over the proposal to rebuild the three-season porch on the original <br />footprint for several reasons: the new porch will be more conforming with the Roseville Shoreland <br />Management Ordinance; the resulting structure will be less obtrusive on the neighbor's view of Lake <br />McCarron; and the resulting structure will also be less obtrusive on views of the shoreline on Lake <br />McCarron. In addition, please keep in mind that when it becomes necessary to replace the entire structure, <br />the new structure will be required to conform to the setbacks from Lake McCarron. We further request <br />that Roberta Sladky be required to plant additional trees to screen the view of her home from Lake <br />McCarrons. <br />Thank you for giving the DNR the opportunity to comment on the Sladky variance. We look forward to <br />receiving a written record of the decision that is made on the request. We also look forward to reviewing <br />future variances and conditional use permits for the City of Roseville shoreland and floodplain ordinances. <br />Please feel free to contact me, or Molly Shodeeq at 651-772-7910 should you have any questions <br />concerning the Sladky variance. <br />Sincerely, <br />i �-` �'��`Z" �� -? �`'� y��'�-- � <br />� Joseph Richter <br />Hydrologist <br />Lake McCarron (62-54P) File <br />DNR Information: 651-296-6157 . 1-888-646-6367 .
