D., (4) <br />Encloltd Is thi legal Interpretation which the Metropolitan Council requested <br />cofietrninfl the approval authority of adjacent units of government In the <br />flexibility provisions of the Shoreland Rules. The Intent of the rules* In this <br />cm* la to encourage local cooperation and coordination, such as the deveiopamt of a coiRprohensIve plan for an entire lake body. We recognize that <br />eortain elrnnts of that plan will reflect the different managenent goals and <br />aMnlstratlve practices of each unit of government. In the end* it is still <br />the rtspowilblll* -nd the authority of each separate local unit of government <br />to Incorporate ^ 'laments of the plan Into Its local zoning ordinance. Final <br />approval of the k. zoning ordinance rests with the Department of Natural <br />Risourcna. <br />It Is to each local unit of government's advantage to work within the framework <br />of ^the plan” If It wishes to have a say in how the plan Is to be shaped. <br />FurtherBOrot bMiuse of the support which the rules do give toward the developaent of a specific lake management plan. It stands to reason that those <br />working within the plan will receive the full support of the Department. <br />Sincerely* <br />DIVISION OF WATERS <br />KOnt lekkesmoe Acting Director <br />KL/P0:fW <br />cc: John Stine <br />Ed Pick
