3 July 2012 1340 Baldur Park Road Page 3 of 8 (1) Such improvements shall be designed to take advantage of natural vegetation and topography to achieve maximum screening from view from public waters. (2) All roads and parking areas shall be designed and constructed to minimize and control erosion to public waters consistent with the requirements of all agencies with jurisdiction. (d) Except for those projects requiring permits for construction of structures, sewage treatment systems and driveways, a land alteration permit will be required as follows: (1) For movement of one through 500 cubic yards of material anywhere within the Shoreland Overlay District, a staff-issued land alteration permit shall be required. (2) For movement of more than 500 cubic yards of material within the Shoreland Overlay District, conditional use permit approval by the city council is required in addition to the required land alteration permit. (e) The following considerations and conditions must be adhered to during the issuance of construction permits, grading and filling permits, conditional use permits, variances and subdivision approvals: (1) Grading or filling in any type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 wetland must be evaluated to determine how extensively the proposed activity would affect the following functional qualities of the wetland: a. Sediment and pollutant trapping and retention; b. Storage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage; c. Fish and wildlife habitat; d. Recreational use; e. Shoreline or bank stabilization; and f. Noteworthiness, including special qualities, such as historic significance, critical habitat for endangered plants and animals, or others. This evaluation must also include a determination of whether the wetland alteration being proposed requires permits, reviews or approvals by other sections of city ordinances or by other local state or federal agencies including but not limited to watershed districts, state department of natural resources, or the United States Army Corps of Engineers. (2) Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures only the smallest amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time possible. (3) Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for temporary bare soil coverage, and a permanent vegetation cover must be established as soon as possible. (4) Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they reach any surface water feature must be used. (5) Altered areas must be stabilized to acceptable erosion control standards consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil and water conservation districts and the United States Soil Conservation Service. (6) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in a manner that creates an unstable slope. (7) Plans to place fill or excavated material on steep slopes must be reviewed by the city engineer for continued slope stability and must not create finished slopes of 30 percent or greater. (8) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones. (9) Any alterations below the ordinary high water level of public waters must flrst be authorized by the commissioner of the department of natural resources under Minn. Stat. § 103G.245. (10) Alterations of topography must only be allowed if they are accessory to permitted or conditional uses and do not adversely affect adjacent or nearby property. (11) Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading of the shoreline and placement of a filter blanket, is permitted if the finished slope does not exceed three feet horizontal to one foot vertical, the landward extent of the riprap is within ten feet of the ordinary high water level, and the height of the riprap above the ordinary high water level does not exceed three feet. A riprap permit shall be obtained per the requirements of section 78-969. (fl Excavations where the intended purpose is connection to a public water, such as boat slips,
