Cotmcihncmbcr S i~'ommcn noted ¢:,~ p~ge 11 the unsewered lakes show the nonriparian lots with al larger area and width than riparia~t lots, and this should be reversed. Assistant Corn mmtity Developmen Director Trudgeon indicated this will be corrected. Counci Imcmbczr S~romnacn in¢lttired il' the EPTF had had any thoughts regarding this ordinance. Joe McDilda, mc~nber oF the EP~I'F: stmed the EPTF reviewed this for the first time at their regular meeting l~ts! Monday. Fern tdationally it is well written and he thinks it represents what it is they were trying to do. There i.; qt~ite a bit of Ramsey however, that is not covered by this ordinance, and on~'~ of' tiao things h..: would recommend to the Council, which they are working on, is the incorporation of wetland buffers with all of the wetland they have in Ramsey. This covers a certain part of Ramsey, b..~t much of Ramsey wetlar~d is not covered by this. There is quite a bit more work to do; but he ~tpplauds this effort. .Ion l~nstmm, ~;702 181 ~t Avcmte N W., t~tated he probably has the largest body of water in the City of` Ramscy that is privately owned, l~le questioned how this will affect his property. Assistant (iommm~ity Devclopmen I)irector T~n. tdgeon replied this ordinance is all-inclusive; it is foully sci up to regulate devclop~.~el~i along shoreland. It calls very specifically what the DNR classifies as ~ttl~';~l cnviromnent '.akes, recreational development lakes, general development lakcs and general developn-tent stream,~. Some of those lakes are actually larger wetlands. The only way this would directly affect Mr. Enstrom is if he is listed, however, as they go ahead with wctland regulations; some b~tf'['cring ~'cqtfirements may take place with any wetlands. Mayor Gamcc suggested Mr. ~,:,nst~-om meet with Assistant Community Development Director Trudgcol~ to set: how his property wilI be affected.
