That will continue with the proposed <br />ordinance amendments we prepared in response to the revised State Rules, recognizing <br />the following as special circumstances which warrant alternative managemem <br />standards. <br />1. Retention of the 35 foot height limit for aU structures in the Shoreland <br />Management District. <br />a. The revised DNR standard reduced the height limit by 10 feet, to 25 <br />feet, for residential structures in cities. <br />The 35 foot height limit has been applied to many residential structures <br />that have been built since 1983, when the City adopted Shoreland <br />Management regulatkms and the "new” 25 foot standard would render <br />them umiecessarily non-conforming. <br />c. The maximum height in all nesideotial and non-residential districts <br />outside of the Shore land Managemem Area has been 35 feet or three <br />stories and 45 feet or four stories, respectively, for many years. <br />lVe> L sren • iVe Solve • We Care <br />”Ti,4 O'"' f’ COTA c ^ , ’’’EL F c,r^f>r)
