6 <br />Section 12-410. Lot Area and Lot Width. <br /> <br />Lot area and width standards shall be regulated per the underlying zoning district of the property. <br /> <br />Section 12-420. Use. <br /> <br />The use of all properties within the shoreland area shall be regulated per the underlying zoning <br />district. <br /> <br />Section 12-430. Height. <br /> <br />Height of structures and other facilities on lots shall be regulated per the underlying zoning <br />district of the property except for where specified herein. <br /> <br />Section 12-440. Impervious Surface. <br /> <br />Impervious surface coverage shall be limited to 50% of any lot or parcel. <br /> <br />Section 12-450. Setback Requirements. <br />(1) Where structures exist on the adjoining lots, structure setbacks may be altered allowing them <br />closer to the water’s edge without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks from the <br />ordinary high water level. The distance shall be determined by the average setback of <br />structures on the two immediately adjoining lots and shall be allowed only provided the <br />proposed structure is not located in a shore impact zone. <br />(2) Along with the setback requirements in the underlying zoning district, the following setback <br />requirements from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) shall apply to all principal & <br />accessory buildings which do not meet the provisions of Section 12-450, item number 1 <br />(above). <br /> <br />Water Body OHWL <br />Setback <br />Jones Lake 50 feet <br />Long Lake 50 feet <br />Pike Lake 50 feet <br />Poplar Lake 50 feet <br />Rush Lake 150 feet <br />Rice Creek 50 feet <br />(3) The following types of structures are exempt from OHWL setbacks indicated in 12-450, <br />Subdivision 2, but are required to follow the standards contained in Sections 12-460 – 12- <br />470: <br />A. Stairways, stairway landings, and pedestrian lifts; <br />B. Watercraft lifts, landing facilities and docks; <br />C. Fences, retaining walls, and ancillary recreational uses; <br />D. Public park, beach, and marina facilities and other public improvements. <br />Comment [JS13]: Is there any new <br />development potential in the shoreland district <br />(subdivision of lots, new lots, new construction)? If <br />land is available for development, minimum lot area <br />and width standards for shoreland should be <br />applied. <br />Comment [JS14]: This percent impervious value <br />will be the biggest sticking point for DNR when it <br />comes to approval (State Shoreland Rules call for <br />25%). There is room for flexibility with this standard, <br />but 50% is very high. <br /> <br />What is the existing percent impervious coverage of <br />most of the existing shoreland lots? Have you <br />considered having a lower standard for riparian lots <br />and a higher standard for non-riparian lots? How <br />does existing coverage vary from lake to lake? For <br />example, if one lake has higher average percent <br />impervious than the others, this lake could have a <br />higher percent impervious standard than the others. <br /> <br />It will be important to decrease the amount of <br />impervious surface over time within the shoreland <br />district if it is over 25%, especially for lots with <br />impervious surface in the SIZ. Have you considered <br />prohibiting impervious surface in the SIZ? This <br />would help the City better control the number of <br />structures smaller than the size requiring a building <br />permit showing up in the near shore area. <br />Comment [DP15]: What about bluff setbacks? <br />Bluff setbacks are required under State Shoreland <br />Rules. <br />
