re:CMSCV,rD Comment C15-011 Krueger
Dear Ms. Buss:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the variance application noted above. The
project proposes the building of a swimming pool within the lakeside setback of Big
Marine Lake. Big Marine Lake is one of the District's priority lakes.
The Managers of the Watershed District cannot endorse a variance allowing any
additional hard cover within lakeside setback. If the City chooses to grant a variance in
this situation, a District permit will be required for Shoreline Buffers at a minimum in an
attempt to mitigate some of the potential negative consequences.
Ttiank you again and do not hesitate to call with any questions.
S, cerely,
J in Shaver, Administrator
