Box 164 <br />Crystal Bay, KN 55323 <br />Dear Mayor Peterson: <br />REVIEW AND COMMENT ON CZTY OF SHORENOOO'S REQUEST FOR FLEXIBILITY <br />FROM STATE OF MINNESOTA'S SHORELAND MANAGEMENT STANDARDS <br />As required by the statewide shoreland mmnmgmmmnt standards, the <br />Coasissioner of the Minnesota Departaent of Natural Resources (DNR) <br />and the City of Shorewood are hereby notifying your city of <br />Shorewood's request for flexibility fros the statewide standards as <br />outlined below. In accordance with the rules, the Coasissioner and <br />the city aust solicit the input and approval of other govsmaental <br />bodies that could be affected or iapacted by the alternate <br />controls. The city and the DNR are asking that you provide your <br />review and eoaaents, if any, to either DNR or the city within 45 <br />days of the date of this letter. If no response is received prior <br />to then, we will assuae that your city has no concerns with the <br />neighboring city's proposal. <br />The City of fhorewood is requesting flexibility froa the statewide <br />standard for building height by requesting an increase in the <br />structure height liait. statewide standards require that a 25 foot <br />height liait be applied to all new structures in residential land <br />use districts in cities. The city is requesting the use of <br />flexibility to allow structures a height liait of 35 feet in <br />residential land use districts. The aaxtaiia allowable structure <br />height under the "old** state shoreland rules was IS feet. <br />The city had considered requesting that it be allowed to let <br />existing coaaercial developaent aaintain existing iapervious <br />coverage which exceeds 25% but require storawater treatment <br />aeasures for the excess storawater runoff. However, since this <br />requireaent only affected one developaent, the city has decided to <br />treat this eonercial site as a variance or conditional use. The <br />city will address storawater runnff aanageaent as required by the <br />State of Minnesota under the local water aanageaent planning via <br />the ”909” water aanageaent prograa. <br />AN fOUAL OS^OarUNJTV EVPLOVfN
