. Resolution 2003-35 • Page 6 a. Staff finds that the proposed development is exempt from the DNR PUD standards which would require 50 percent open space, based on the finding that the DNR rules apply to developments in which a Conditional Use Permit is required for the PUD. The City would not require a conditional use permit for this development. Therefore, the City will review the application according the shoreland regulations adopted as part of the Hugo Zoning Ordinance. b. The City has an adopted stormwater management program that reduces the need for the larger lots and increased setbacks, which are intended to reduce runoff into the lakes. The stormwater management program adequately addresses this issue. c. Additionally, the applicant has indication that restrictive covenants will be part of the Association documents and these covenants will prohibit the placement of docks or any disturbance below the delineated wetland line of the lake. d. The structure setback from the Rice Lake will be increased to a minimum of 187 feet from the OHWL. e. The applicant is proposing to provide permanent open space within the development that will be maintained by the HOA. This will help to preserve the natural features of the site and will increase the pervious areas on site. f. The applicant is providing 152.90 acres of permanent open space and park land within this 239 -acre site. This permanent open space would mitigate any effects of the flexibility requested by the applicant. g. The total impervious surface within the development will be less than 25 percent. h. The developer will implement BMPs (Best Management Practices) to ensure adequate protection of the lake during construction. i. The master plan for this development would comply with the purpose and intent of the shoreland requirements, which is to preserve the quality of the adjacent lakes.
