��6120.3300 Minnesota Rule Page 12 of 13 B. If allowed by local governments, forest land conversion to another use requires issuance of a conditional use permit and adherence to the following standards: (1)shore and bluff impact zones must not be intensively cleared of vegetation; and (2)an erosion and sediment control plan is developed and approved by the local soil and water conservation district before issuance of a conditional use permit for the conversion. C.Use of fertilizer, pesticides, or animal wastes within shorelands must be done in such a way as to minimize impact on the shore impact zone or public water by proper application or use of earth or vegetation. Subp. 9. Extractive use standards.Processing machinery must be located consistent with setback standards for structures from ordinary high water levels of public waters and from bluffs. An extractive use site development and restoration plan must be developed, approved by the local government, and followed over the course of operation of the site. The plan must address dust, noise, possible pollutant discharges, hours and duration of operation, and anticipated vegetation and topographic alterations. It must also identify actions to be taken during operation to mitigate adverse environmental impacts, particularly erosion, and must clearly explain how the site will be rehabilitated after extractive activities end. Subp. 10. Standards for commercial, industrial, public, and semipublic uses. Surface water- oriented commercial uses and industrial, public, or semipublic uses with similar needs to have access to and use of public waters may be located on parcels or lots with frontage on public waters. Uses without water-oriented needs must be located on lots or parcels without public waters frontage, or, if located on lots or parcels with public waters frontage, must either be set back double the normal ordinary high water level setback or be substantially screened from view from the water by vegetation or topography, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions. Those with water-oriented needs must meet the following standards: A. In addition to meeting impervious coverage limits, setbacks, and other zoning standards presented elsewhere in parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900, the uses must be designed to incorporate topographic and vegetative screening of parking areas and structures. B.Uses that require short-term watercraft mooring for patrons must centralize these facilities and design them to avoid obstructions of navigation and to be the minimum size necessary to meet the need. C.Uses that depend on patrons arriving by watercraft may use signs and lighting to convey needed information to the public, subject to the following general standards: (1)No advertising signs or supporting facilities for signs may be placed in or upon public waters. Signs conveying information or safety messages may be placed in or on public waters by a public authority or under a permit issued by the county sheriff. (2)Signs may be placed, when necessary, within the shore impact zone if they are designed and sized to be the minimum necessary to convey needed information. They must only convey the location and name of the establishment and the general types of goods or services available. The signs must not contain other detailed information such as product brands and prices, must not be located higher than ten feet above the ground, and must not exceed 32 square feet in size. If illuminated by artificial lights, the lights must be shielded or directed to prevent illumination out across public waters. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/?id=6120.3300 9/15/2011
