I understand lots of record present challenging administrative <br /> circumstances for Orono given the framework you referenced. However, in this case statutory <br /> language in 462.357 Subd. le. (e) and (f), updated in 2009,supersedes the shoreland rule language <br /> in 6120.3300 Subp. 2. D. (from 1989).These statutory provisions are the minimum standards and <br /> cities cannot adopt provisions that are less strict. <br /> Attached is a DNR guidance document on nonconformities from the shoreland regulations webpage <br /> (Shoreland Regulations I Minnesota DNR (state.mn.us)). Feel free to utilize this guidance material as <br /> you discuss this topic with your staff or legal counsel. <br /> Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or want to discuss this further. <br /> Wes Saunders-Pearce,CFM <br /> North Metro Area Hydrologist I Anoka & Hennepin Counties <br /> Ecological and Water Resources <br /> Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br /> 1200 Warner Road <br /> Saint Paul, MN 55106 <br /> Phone: 651-259-5822 <br /> Fax: 651-772-7977 <br /> Email: Wes.Saunders-PearcePstate.mn.us <br /> mndnr.gov <br /> Milk DEPARTMENT OF <br /> I III NATURAL RESOURCES <br /> El D /,\ <br /> From: Melanie Curtis<MCurtisftci.orono.mn.us> <br /> Sent:Tuesday, October 12, 2021 9:23 AM <br /> To:Saunders-Pearce,Wes (DNR) <Wes.Saunders-PearcePstate.mn.us> <br /> Subject: Proposed Orono City Code Amendment- RE: Lots of Record <br />
