APPS ~ ~ ..~~,~ Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Metro Waters, 1200 Warner Road, St. Paul, MN 55106-6793 Telephone: (651) 772-7910 Fax: (651) 772-7977 April 13, 2000 City of Roseville Mr. Thomas Paschke, City Planner 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Redevelopment of Property Located at 391 South Owasso Boulevard, Lake Owasso (62- 56P), City of Roseville, Ramsey County Dear Mr. Paschke: DNR Metro Waters has received (Apri13, 2000) the information on the redevelopment proposal for the Youngquist Property (391 South Owasso Boulevard) in Roseville. This property is riparian to Lake Owasso (62-56P) and subject to the Floodplain and Shoreland Regulations of the City of Roseville. Therefore, the DNR has following comments to offer concerning this proposal: The City of Roseville Shoreland Management Ordinance, Section 18.075.1 states that a variance is required for non-conforming lots of record that do not have 70% of the standard lot water frontage requirement. The lot width requirement of riparian lots on Lake Owasso is 100' and the lot width of the Youngquist property is approximately 40'. Therefore, a variance must be required for this proposal. 2. Section 18.065 of the Roseville Shoreland Ordinance requires variances to be issued in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 462. The Ordinance further states that conditions may be imposed by the City Council to protect adjacent properties and the public interest. 3. We recommend that one of the conditions that is listed in Section 18.072.2 of the Roseville Shoreland Management Ordinance be required for the Youngquist Proposal. The Youngquists should be required to preserve the trees on the lot. In addition, additional natural vegetation should be planted near Lake Owasso. 4. We have concerns that the proposal will exceed the 25% impervious cover that is required in Section 18.095.2 of the City of Roseville Shoreland Management Ordinance. We recommend that the Youngquists and the City of Roseville attempt to reduce the amount of impervious surface that is located on the property. It maybe possible to consider using non-impervious surfaces for portions of the driveway and the sidewalk. Of course, this impervious surface limit may be exceeded if the water is being conveyed to stormwater ponding facilities as recommended by the City of Roseville Shoreland Ordinance.
