Councilmember Strommen noted on page 11 the unsewered lakes show the nonriparian lots.with <br />a larger area and width than riparian lots, and this should be reversed. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated this will be corrected. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen inquired if the EPTF had had any thoughts regarding this ordinance. <br /> <br />Joe McDilda, member of the EPTF, stated the EPTF reviewed this for the first time at their <br />regular meeting last Monday. Foundationally it is well written and he thinks it represents what it <br />is they were trying to do. There is quite a bit of Ramsey however, that is not covered by this <br />ordinance, and one of the things he would recommend to the Council, which they are working <br />on, is the incorporation of wetland buffers with all of the wetland they have in Ramsey. This <br />covers a certain part of Ramsey, but much of Ramsey wetland is not covered by this. There is <br />quite a bit more work to do, but he applauds this effort. <br /> <br />Jon Enstrom~ 8702 181st Avenue NW, stated he probably has the largest body of water in the City <br />of Ramsey that is privately owned. He questioned how this will affect his property. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied this ordinance is all:inclusive; it <br />is really set up to regulate development along shoreland. It calls very specifically what the DNR <br />classifies as natural environment lakes, recreational development lakes, general development <br />lakes and general development streams. Some of those lakes are actually larger, wetlands. The <br />only way this would directly affect Mr. Enstrom is if he is listed, however, as they go ahead with <br />wetland regulations some buffeting requirements may take place with any wetlands. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested Mr. Enstrom meet with Assistant Community Development Director <br />Trudgeon to see how his property will be affected. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen encouraged Mr. Enstrom to attend the EPTF meetings, as the wetland <br />buffer will likely affect his situation. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec directed staff to inform Mr. Enstrom-of any EPTFmeetings that would pertain to <br />him. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired if the wetland buffers that are determined by the EPTF will be <br />incorporated into this ordinance. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied the buffers could be in a separate <br />section or integrated into z?ning districts. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Strommen, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to introduce an <br />ordinance to update the Shoreland Management section of City Code in accordance with the <br />State model ordinance. <br /> <br />City Council/May 25, 2004 <br />Page 19 of 27 <br /> <br />P73 <br /> <br /> <br />
