Home Browse Search

A total of 18 lots are being removed from the plat (5-11, 41-42, 47-54, and 59-60) and two are being added("new"11 and 45)• The previously approved stormwater management plans have been updated to include facilities to manage stormwater runoff generated by the lodge building and additional parking area approved as part of the conditional use permit. There are various basins, swales and retaining walls used to manage stormwater onsite. The proposed stormwater management plan appears to contain the ioo-year storm even as required by the ordinance. The erosion control plan includes silt fences where runoff may potentially enter the lake. As per previous approval, these fences must be in place before a land use permit may be issued. The plans submitted for the amended plat contain silt fences in the beach area on the south side of the point as well as further landward to catch runoff generated while the lodge building is being constructed. The resort is served by a centralized private sewer system and a private water supply. Per ordinance, the applicant must obtain an approval letter from the MPCA/MDH indicating the proposed onsite sewer design and water supply is sufficient. The application also includes drafts of Common Interest Community documents to be filed in conjunction with the final plat.
