<br /> 60 Sec.78-1212.-Statement of purpose.
<br /> 61 The purpose of this article is to promote the public health,safety and general welfare by providing
<br /> 62 for the wise subdivision,use and development of shorelands abutting public waters that exist within the
<br /> 63 city's corporate boundaries.The city recognizes that the uncontrolled use and development of shorelands
<br /> 64 has a negative impact on not only the quality of surface waters,but on the economic,recreational and
<br /> 65 natural environmental values of shorelands and the waters they surround.The specific intent of this article
<br /> 66 is to:
<br /> 67 (1) Protect the water quality of Lake Minnetonka and other lakes within the city by allowing
<br /> 68 development of uses in the shoreland areas which are compatible with the city's comprehensive
<br /> 69 land use management plan.
<br /> 70 (2) Provide appropriate standards for development which will minimize the impact of shoreland
<br /> 71 development on the water quality and the economic,aesthetic and natural environment values of
<br /> 72 the city's lakes.
