He handed out a comment letter received <br />from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). <br />Chair Johnson opened the public hearing. There being no one present to speak, <br />Chair Johnson closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Thiel asked how much weight should be given regarding the DNR's <br />comment letter. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated it's not uncommon to receive this this type of professional <br />opinion but the DNR leaves the final decision up to the city. <br />Commissioner Thiel asked what was under the neighboring deck. <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated it was probably gravel or rock and he will ask the applicant to <br />work with environmental staff to determine what type of surface they can install <br />under the deck so runoff can be maintained. <br />PD�EREI 11 <br />NATURE <br />
