We evaluated your request using supporting information which you forwarded to us on March 3, 1983, data which we generated from our March 15, 1983 field inspection, and the City's zoning ordinance and land use plan. Based upon our review, we make the following findings: 1) Gervais Lake (62 -7P) 2) Savage Lake (62 -8P) 3) Round Lake (62 -9P) Preliminary: GD Preliminary: RD Preliminary: RD 4) Unnamed Wetland (62 -129W) Preliminary: NE 5) Unnamed Wetland (62 -154W) Preliminary: RD 6) Twin Lake (62 -39P) Preliminary: NE Final: GD Final: GD Final: GD Final: GD Final: GD Final: RD (proposed) We feel that Twin Lake should be reclassified to Recreational Det2sopment (RD) instead of General Development as proposed by the City. In determining the classification for Twin Lake we considered the size, crowding potential, amount and type of existing development (development density), existing natural characteristics of the lake and surrounding shoreland, and other pertinent data (see enclosed table). In evaluating the above parameters, we found that the basin best fits the characteristics of a Recreational Development (RD) classification. We feel the character of this basin will best be preserved by this classification. Should the City disagree with our findings, you should provide further documentation to justify your request.
