Lake Setback Ordinance
Planner Doty stated the Council reviewed three planning applications in 2007 that neighboring
property owners objected to because their lake views would be impacted by a new home. He
discussed the report that staff prepared that outlined the City's current requirements regarding
structure setbacks from lakes. In addition, the report also contained a survey of other
communities with their practices, and if they have any requirements that regulate building
construction to protect lake views from existing buildings. Following Council discussion, no
action was taken on this item.
Future Study Sessions
The Council directed staff to schedule a joint meeting with Hennepin County Commissioners
and staff to discuss the City's request for a signalized intersection at County Road 47 and
Vicksburg Lane, and the County's request to turn back County Road 47 to the City. The Council
requested staff to provide data regarding this intersection to determine if a stop light is
warranted, and the capital investment to improve County Road 47 for the future development,
and how to phase it in.
