Water Appropriation Permitting Requirements <br /> Sheet 1-1.0, Overall Landscape Plan in the Civil Plans shows an irrigation pump inlet pipe in Egg Lake for landscape <br /> irrigation. A DNR Water Appropriation Permit is required to take water from a lake, wetland, stream, or well to irrigate <br /> landscaping if the amount of water exceeds 10,000 gallons per day, or one million gallons per year. <br /> DNR Recommendations <br /> Unless substantial changes are made to the submitted Preliminary Plat and PUD application to align with the city's <br /> shoreland ordinance standards, DNR strongly recommends denial of this application. <br /> While DNR finds this particular development application highly problematic, we understand the city's interest in <br /> downtown development near Egg Lake. We have on multiple occasions encouraged city staff to develop a revised <br /> shoreland ordinance for DNR approval that includes alternate standards for the downtown central business district. We <br /> previously communicated to city staff as far back as February 2017 that DNR can accommodate alternate standards in <br /> shoreland through the implementation flexibility process in Minn. R. 6120.2800, subp. 3.The implementation flexibility <br /> process is the appropriate process under state law for communities to negotiate deviations to statewide minimum <br /> shoreland development standards. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> &C joo� <br /> Dan Scollan <br /> East Metro Area Hydrologist <br /> cc: Dan Petrik, DNR Lake & River Shoreland Program Manager <br /> John (Jack) Gleason, DNR South District Hydrologist Supervisor <br />
