They oiten are characierized by moderate le\'els of recreational use and existing development.
<br />Development consists mainly of seasonal and year-round residences and recreationally-oriented
<br />commercial uses. Many of these lakes have capacities for accommodating additional
<br />development and use.
<br />13. Sensitive Resource Management: The preservation and managemer.! of areas unsuitable for
<br />development in their natural state due to constraints such as shallow soils over ground water or
<br />bedrock, highly erosive or expansive soils, steep slopes, susceptibility to flooding, or occurrence
<br />of flora or fauna in need of special protection.
<br />14. Sewer System: Pipelines or conduits, pumping stations, and force main, and all other
<br />constructions, devices, appliances, or appurtenances used for conducting sewage or indcstrial
<br />waste or other wastes to a point of ultimate disposal
<br />15. Shore Impact Zone: Land located between the ordinary high water level of a public water and a
<br />line paralle. io It at a setback of 50 percent of the structure setback.
<br />16. Shoreland: Land located within the following distances from public waters: 1,000 feet from the
<br />ordinary high water level of a lake, pond, or flowage; and 300 feet from a river or stream, or the
<br />landvrard extent of a floodplain designated by Ordinance on a river or stream, whichever is
<br />greater. The limits of shorelands may be reduced whenever the waters involved are bounded by
<br />topographic divides which extend tarxjward from the waters for lesser distartces arxJ when
<br />approv^ by the commissioner.
<br />17. Significant Historic Site: Any archaeological site, standing structure, or oth' * property that meets
<br />the criteria for eligbility to the National Register of Historic Places or is listed in the State Register
<br />of Historic Sites, or is determined to be an unplatted cemetery that falls under the provisions of
<br />Minnesota Statutes, Section 307.08. A historic site meets these criteria if it is presently listed on
<br />either register or if it is determined to meet the quamis^tions for listing after review by the
<br />Minnesota State Archaeologist or the Director of the Minnesota Historical Society. All unplatted
<br />cemeteries are automatically considered to be signiTicant historic sites.
<br />18. Steep Slope: Land where agricultural activity or development is either not recommended or
<br />described as poorly suited due to slope steepness and the site's soil characteristics, as mapped
<br />and described in available county soil surveys or other technical reports, unless appropriate
<br />design and construction techniques and farmirtg practices are used in accordance with the
<br />provisions of this Ordinance. Where speciTic information is not available, steep slopes are lands
<br />having slopes over 12 percent, as measured over horizontal distances of 50 feet or more, that
<br />are not bluffs.
<br />19. Surface Water-Oriented Commerc'al Use: The use of land for commercial purposes, where
<br />access to and use of a surface water feature is an integral part of the normal conductance cf
<br />business. Marinas, resorts, and restaurants with transient docking facilities are examples of such
<br />use.
<br />20. Toe of the Bluff: The point on a bluff where there is. as visually observed, a cleariy identifiable
<br />break in the stopr, from gentler to steeper slope above. If no break in the slope Is apparent, the
<br />toe of the bluff shall be determine to be the lower end of a 50 foot segment, measured on the
<br />ground, with an average slope exceeding 18 percent
<br />21. Top of the Bluff: The point on a bluff where there is, as virtually observed, a cleariy identifiabie
<br />break in the slope, from steeper to gentler slope above. If r>o break in the slope is apparent, the
<br />top of the bluff shall be determined to be the upper end of a 50 foot segment, measured on the
<br />ground, with an average slope exceeding 18 percent.
<br />22. Water-Oriented Accessory Structure or Facility: A small, above ground building or other
<br />Improvement, except stairways, fences, docks, and retaining walls, which, because of the
<br />relationship of its use to a surface water feature, reasonably needs to be located closer to public
<br />waters than the normal structure setback. Examples of such structures and facilities include
<br />boathouses, gazebos, screen houses, fish houses, pump houses, and detached decks.
