The City's definition of lot area states that no area occupied by rivers. streams. lakes or any area one acre or larger classified as a US Army Corp of Engineers type 3. 4. or 5 wet land can be included in lot area.

COUNCILMEMBER HOLMGREN SECONDED THE MOTION. e Councilmember Kropuenske indicated that his reason for approval of the variance to the setbacks for the Ordinary High Water Mark is that the building sites are sufficiently high and that Kliever's Marsh would overflow 17Sth Avenue to the county ditch south of that road before it would flood the proposed houses in the plat. He further indicated that the adjacent three lots to this plat have been granted similar variances. e e e Page 6 Elk River City Council Meeting January 23. 1989 Councilmember Kropuenske indicated that his reason for denial of the lot size variances is because Mr. Kuhn did not meet the five standards required by City Ordinance for a variance.
