He asked if the applicants have convinced the Department of Natural Resources to be in favor of the proposed development. Mr. Wallick indicated the opinion of the Department of Natural Resources is the same as indicated in the September 18, 2001 report. Chair Schaps stated the primary issue was the requested shoreland setback variance of 50 percent. He noted this development involved a natural lake and he felt the proposed variances would be a significant trade -off. Mr. Andrews noted whether one lot or 20 lots were developed on the parcel, there would still be an average 90 -foot setback from the ordinary high water line. He stated the developer has used his best management practices and created an inn o tive design, which attempted to address any issues. He noted the develo t of p perties within 40 feet of a high water line is not uncommon in the Twin C.

Mr. Wallick stated the bridge would drain back to the road into the pond. Chair Schaps noted the staff report stated that there should be no environmental impact with the bridge. He stated with cars traveling across the bridge there is likely to be some oil and gas pollution, as with all roads, and questioned how the runoff will be handled. Mr. Wallick stated the runoff will be treated by the storm water pond like that from any roadway. Chair Schaps noted the runoff from the bridge will flow directly into the pond and not flow through any grass first. Mr. Wallick stated this was correct.
