Minnesota Rules, Chapter 6120. Page 7 of 14 <br /> F. Proximity to roads and highways. No structure may <br /> be placed nearer than 50 feet from the right-of-way line of any <br /> federal, state, or county highway; or 20 feet from the <br /> right-of-way line of any town road, public street, or others not <br /> classified. <br /> G. Height. All structures in residential districts <br /> in cities, except churches and nonresidential agricultural <br /> structures, must not exceed 25 feet in height. <br /> H. Accessory structures and facilities. All <br /> accessory structures and facilities, except those that are <br /> water-oriented, must meet or exceed structure setback <br /> standards.

Detached decks must not <br /> exceed eight feet above grade at any point. <br /> (2) The setback of the structure or facility from <br /> the ordinary high water level must be at least ten feet. <br /> (3) The structure or facility must be treated to <br /> reduce visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent <br /> shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color, <br /> or other means acceptable to the local unit of government, <br /> assuming summer, leaf-on conditions. <br /> (4) The roof may be used as a deck with safety <br /> rails, but must not be enclosed or used as a storage area. <br /> (5) The structure or facility must not be <br /> designed or used for human habitation and must not contain water <br /> supply or sewage treatment facilities. <br /> (6) As an alternative for general development and <br /> recreational development waterbodies, water-oriented accessory <br /> structures used solely for watercraft storage, and including <br /> storage of related boating and water-oriented sporting <br /> equipment, may occupy an area up to 400 square feet provided the <br /> maximum width of the structure is 20 feet as measured parallel <br /> to the configuration of the shoreline. <br /> (7) Any accessory structures or facilities not <br /> meeting the above criteria, or any additional accessory <br /> structures or facilities must meet or exceed structure setback <br /> standards. <br /> I. Stairways, lifts, and landings. Stairways and <br /> lifts are the preferred alternative to major topographic <br /> alterations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep <br /> slopes to shore areas.
