There is a cul-de-sac at the 17 south end of his property. Based on the recommendation of the county, the cul-de-sac was moved to 18 the east and he lost some lakefront. The council denied a request to increase his impending 19 development project to 36 from 35 lots, a change which would have been helpful to him. If it 20 remains 3 5 lots then he'd prefer to move the cul-de-sac to the west. 21 22 Mayor Reinert recommended that Mr. Jensen's situation be discussed at a future work session; the 23 issue is complex. 24 25 Community Development Director Grochala suggested that the watershed district is waiting for 26 additional information from Mr. Jensen.
