February 2, 1981 5.5 Richard Vail - Subdivision The Planning Commission forwarded Mr. Vail's preliminary plan to the City Council with various recommendations attached. They have recommended that the plan be altered to include a total 11 lots rather than 15. Mr. Vail stated that the project would have to be dropped if the plans were changed to 11 lots, because it would not be economically feasible to continue. Permits could not be obtained from Rice Creek until the number of lots was determined. Engineer Kuusisto re- quested that he receive a drainage plan for the development, and that the surveyor correct the errors on dimensions. The present City Ordinance calls for a distance of 100' from the lake for the construction of a house. Johnson stated that when the zoning ordinance was adopted, DNR had no standards at that time. They have now set a standard of 150' on certain kinds of lakes. If these standards have been officially adopted, Johnson stated that their design would take precedence over the city's. After further review of the plan, it was determined that Mr. Vail would be hard pressed to meet the setback requirements for a number of lots lying along the lake side. LaValle also stated that the city would have to obtain the high water mark for Egg Lake before any setbacks could be determined. Before any further action can be taken on the application for subdivisio, LaValle requested the following information be obtained: 1 ) the high water mark as determined by the DNR, and after that is determined, 2) Attorney Johnson in- vestigate the regulations regarding the setback requirements from the lake. MOTION: McAllister made motion, seconded by Irsfeld, to table this matter until the meeting of February 17, 1981 , when the City Engineer and City Attorney will provide the appropriate information.
