Coznmissioner Wazd seconded the motion.

(Penelope Simison, 651/266-6554) Couunissioner Nelson said he assumes all lots-would be tied into a single pazcel. He also asked that, if variances permitting construction of surface pazldng were denied but the pazcel next to ihe sldlled nursing facility was rezoned to RM2, was it the applicant's intenuon to demolish the single family housing? Penelope Simison, PED staff, said the applicant has not made a decision regazding demolition of the single faznily house. Patricia James PED staff, added that if the applicant redesigned the surface partdng so that variances were not required, they woald be able to demolish the house. She added that her recoIlection from the committee testimony was that • because of the grade change on the property between Rose and Geranium, the surface parldng was intended for visitors to the sldlled nursing facility. Commissioner Nelson said he did not think the surface pazking could be designed to provide a required setback of 12.5 feet along the wesiem property fine. Ms. Simison said ihe site plan showed all of the required set backs for the surface pazldng but, during t6e site plan review process, the setback along the western property line was reduced to accommodate additional landscaping for a buffer adjacent to the single family house in the R4 district. Commissioner Nelson also asked about [he link between the sldlled nursing facility and the assisTed ]iving facility, and whether variances were needed to allow it to be developed. Ms. Simison stated that, if tlie commission recommends rezoning to RM2 and the council adopts it, the entire property would be RM2 and variances would not be needed.

(Josh Williams, 651/266-6659) Commissioner Smitten wanted to lmow if staff has heazd from our parmers, DNR and the National Pazk Service. Are they part of the review process of the restoration and erosion control measures? Josh Williams, PED staff, said the applicant did speak with the National Pazk Service and the DNR. The National Pazk Service's concem was that the project avoid their land, which it does and the DNR is alright with that. Commissioner Smitten asked if the DNR or the National Pazk Service provided written comments to the Metropolitan Council regazding the plan or will they be involved,in the review process of the restoration strategy? Mr. Williams said no. But there have been continued conversations with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about some eagles that nest on Pigs Eye Island. The initial informauon was that those nests were more then 1,000 feet away, but there is one that is about 750 feet away. This meets the Fish and Wildlife Services conditions. In terms of the restoration the DNR will not be monitoring it but there will be a third pazty monitoring it to make sure that it is meeting conditions that aze laid out by the resolurion and that involves the Department of Safety and • Inspections. Commissioner Smitten suggested that the applicant contact DNR and other paztners on the restoration planning. Mr. Williams stated that he thought thaC the applicant would be amenable to this request.
