Third Lake commission keeps current impervious-surface limits for R-2 and R-3 zones
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting, the Village of Third Lake Plan Commission declined a request to increase maximum impervious-surface percentages in R-2 and R-3 zones, citing lot-level runoff absorption to protect lake water quality.
The Village of Third Lake Plan Commission on Dec. 10 considered a proposal to raise the maximum impervious-surface percentages in the R-2 and R-3 residential zoning districts but voted to retain the existing limits.
Commissioner Lizzo had asked for higher percentages, but the commission concluded the current standards better ensure that "each resident's lot" manages runoff and helps reduce nutrients and turbidity entering the village lakes. The discussion occurred as part of a wider package of zoning-text updates under review; no ordinance amendment was adopted at the meeting.
The commission did not record a formal roll-call vote on this zoning item during the meeting. The Nov. 12 minutes were approved earlier in the session and the meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
