Ken and Karen Kearney are working with LCC. They were advised that <br /> Kevin Conners would like to apply the same standards that are in use <br /> for the Lake Mendota watershed. <br /> 2. the Kearney's are willing to pursue a natural vegetative buffer <br /> along the shoreline; Dave Marshall provided brochures on applicable <br /> plantings to all in attendance. However Karen felt that this would be <br /> best served as a longer term goal, given the expense and work <br /> involved. (It was my observation that something less than 35 feet <br /> might be more reasonable. ALthough I did not measure it, it looked as <br /> though the decks and shore are less than 40' apart. something in the <br /> nieghborhood of 20 to 25 feet might serve the same purpose and still <br /> allow a small yard area in front of the decks.) <br /> 3. The Kearney's and the town are already working toward providing a <br /> public area, most likely a beach, on the undeveloped 1,000 feet of <br /> shoreline. Additionaly, this area is now zoned RE, which would <br /> require a zoning change for any more intensive use. (Brian- does RE <br /> allow a campground? Ken did mention a campground "in the future") <br /> 4. Dave indicated that this was an item the DNR might pursue and gave <br /> Ken a staff person to call and deal with. Ken indicated that it was <br /> currently st up for every two homes to share one dock; and that the <br /> longest dock in the development was 24 feet. <br /> 5. The 100 buildings are it. There are no others anticipated or <br /> desired. garages will not be allowed; although a carport roof over <br /> the blacktop parking pad may be allowed. All seemed to agree that <br /> this (roofs on teh pads)would not worsen the situation past what <br /> blacktop has already. Ken also indicated that all of these <br /> improvements had been reviewed and approved by the Board of <br /> Adjustments. One of the studies done during this process indicated <br /> the net effect of all the improvements on the lake in a 500 year storm <br /> event was a 1/4 inch rise. <br /> 6. This seems to be accepted as the way it is by the Kearney's. <br /> 7. We discussed the impact of the year round use. in terms of impact <br /> on the septic systems, and thus on the lake, groundwater, and water <br /> quality. Ken pointed out that each unit has it's own 2,000 gallon <br /> holding tank(state approved tank), all plumbing fixtures are <br /> "water-saver" types, and that each unti has an alarm if the holding <br />
