Design Review Board October 10, 1990 1. Provision of wetland easements for the unbuildable portions of the properties. 2. Combination of the 3.56 acre parcel with the existing Alexejew parcel. Mr. King seconded the motion and the motion was approved unanimously. REVIEW OF CITY CODE SECTION 1001.08, SUBDIVISION CODE, LOT PROVISIONS /CITY ENGINEER, DAN BOXRUD. Last month this item was discussed and the board members requested that an ordinance be drawn up for review. Dan Boxrud submitted a proposed ordinance to the board members that would implement the lot dimension definitions. The amendments would do two things: 1. Watercourses would be included in lots and not placed in outlots. 2. Where lots have water they must still be within 10 feet of required lot dimensions. Dan Boxrud pointed out that if the watercourses were included in the lots the city would not be liable for maintaining them as they do outlots. Mr. Chase asked about a sentence within subd. 1001.08. The sentence states: Watercourses shall be protected by easements to the anticipated high water level (as determined by the city). Mr. Chase asked if a definition for normal and high water levels should be incorporated into the definition section of the zoning ordinance. He also suggested (as determined by the city) be left out of the ordinance. Dan Boxrud stated that the only reason he would prefer to leave in (as determined by the city) is that several agencies may have different criteria for the high water mark. If water levels are established by the city we would have better control over that area. After further discussion a motion was made. MOTION: Robert King moved to table this item because the board wishes to have a clearer definition regarding what is the normal water level and what is high water level.
