Commission Member Brown stated that grading is limited to 5o cubic yards, making the <br />second beach moot because increasing the existing beach would be more than 5o cubic <br />yards. The existing beach may be over the 5o cubic yard mark; the Staff Report asks for <br />a measurement of grading on the beach. <br />Regarding the path, Commission Member Brown further stated that in her personal <br />opinion the fetch across the lake is a beautiful, natural area; removing bulrushes would <br />degrade the area. Four hundred guests at a time and that much golf cart traffic in that <br />area would not be good either. We need to see grading information before we make that <br />determination. <br />Mr. Burslie stated the City has 12o days to make a decision. Staff can create Findings of <br />Fact and Conditions if this is tabled. <br />A motion was made by Commission Member Oraskovich to table this matter to the <br />February meeting to obtain more information. Commission Member Hallan seconded <br />the motion. <br />Mr. Steffens stated the 5o cubic yards is subjective; he just wants to clean out, brush and <br />not move any material. Mr. Burslie stated if you till or disturb existing ground counts <br />toward the 5o cubic yards. <br />Commission Member Hallan would like applicant to indicate what is existing, size when <br />e�ended and proposed new; where it is at, how much work it is going to take, and where <br />the docking is located. Explain how the ordinance is applied to all of it. Mr. Burslie <br />reiterated the property is allowed 5o cubic yards of grading in the Shore Impact Zone. <br />Mr. Steffens stated that some ordinance or part of a CUP, or because this was the only <br />resort in the City, a statement was made that all rules don't need to apply; it's not <br />restricted. Limiting to 5o cubic yards is not a correct application for this. <br />Mr. Burslie stated that the DNR rules trump City rules. The DNR writes rules 1,00o feet <br />from the lake, the Shoreland Rules. <br />Wayne Mueller stated he copied the DNR Aquatic Rule and will give to the Planning <br />Commission. <br />All members voted "aye".
