and natural character of the shoreland of Sunfish Lake. Construction of an excessively large home (2,437 sq. ft. footprint) <br />on the face of the bluff, as requested here, will alter the essential character of the area. <br />Conclusion <br />The limited facts available do not support a decision to approve and show that the design preferences are driving the <br />variance request. A decision to approve the variance would therefore be arbitrary and capricious. The DNR recommends <br />denial. <br />State rule and your ordinance requires that final variance decisions, including findings, be sent to the DNR within 10 days <br />of the decision. The DNR monitors local government variance decisions and may appeal decisions we believe do not <br />meet the statutory criteria and result in negative impacts to shorelands and public waters. <br />Please send the decision to me within ten days of making the decision, including “findings of fact.” If you have any <br />questions, please call, or email me. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Dan Scollan <br />East Metro Area Hydrologist <br />daniel.scollan@state.mn.us <br />(651) 259-5732 <br /> <br />c: John (Jack) Gleason, Hydrologist Supervisor <br /> Dan Petrik, Shoreland Program Manager
