69 Page 8 Planning and Zoning Commission October 10, 1979 Mayor Karth indicated that the city should be careful when insisting on one acre of dry land, as the ordinance only specified one acre,,dry or not. Mr. Short re- ferred to the implementation paragraph of the Comprehensive Plan, to the effect that the city would have to adopt a wetlands ordinance for the purpose of add- ressing the drainage problem. There was some discussion about an area off old Highway 8 near the Woodshed, where part of the shoreline was being filled in, which Mr. Gotwald noted was against the state of Minnesota Lakeshore Development Ordinance; however, Mr.Gourley thought they had permits for this. Mr. Gotwald indicated that the city would have to include a section on mining operations as part of the wetlands ordinance when that was adopted. Mr. Gourley asked that a note be made of this, and they indicated that they would obtain a typical wet- lands ordinance as a model. Mr. Johnson asked if this fell under the Shoreline Management Act, and Mr. Short indicated it would be in addition to that. Mr. Gotwald's wetlands map was approved, and Mr. Gotwald will give his two statements, one in reference to the map and the other on implementation; to Mr. Shortito review. He'read the implementation statement and briefly discussed it. The map was complete with the exception of the county park boundaries and the design elevations of the ponds. Mr. Short indicated that only one comprehensive plan so far had been approved by Metro out of 189 total, as well as school dis- tricts. Mr. Gotwald said he had seen a few, and Lino Lake's was as detailed as any. Mr Short indicated that Metro had published a list of criteria that they would be looking for, which he read; Mr. Gotwald felt the wetlands map was ad- quate. Mayor Karth noted that Metro Council had sent a letter incicating that the interim sewer plan had been approved, and it had been sent on to Metro Waste Control. This released about 300 connections east of Highway 49, in Urban Sewer District 1. Mr. Gotwald had maps available of the urban sewer districts, which showed no change from the previous one which had been agreed upon. The interim plan had shown the actual number of connections expected in the two service districts, and although it was not a part of the comprehensive plan, it was part of the re- quirement. Mr: Gotwald read the paragraph he had prepared to accompany the map, which briefly explained the two urban service districts, and copies of this were available for each member. Mr. Gotwald had a second map, the Sewer Service Schedule, to pass out, which was next discussed. He indicated bids had been taken on the improvement, and the Council had ordered the sale of bids for the,area remaining in Lakes Addition on the east side of Reshanau Lake, which was in the 1979-1980 schedule. Baldwin Lake Mobile Home Park had notified him that they intended to start their improvement next year, so this would be actual fact as well. For 1981-1982, there was a possibility that Shenendoah 11 would be developed, and there was also some activity both commercial and otherwise in the strip directly across from Rehbein. For 1983-1985, the Lakeview area and the state Correctional institute were scheduled, but the area in-between was slated for 1985-1900. Mr. Gotwald explained that the area further up, the Correctional Institute, would take care of their own problem with no one else tied into it if Lakeview didn-'t want sewers. There had been a public hearing, and he felt the issue was about �v even, considering those who did't show up as being not opposed. The main trunk line under the gravity system would have pipes designed to service all the way up to thenorthern boundary. If this followed the ridge along old Highway 8, it would have to be about 30 feet deep which would be extremely expensive, so it was better to go up 2nd. Elm, and 4th. '
