l � <br /> 2 REVISOR 6120.3300 <br /> (3) A guest cottage must be located or designed to reduce its visibility as <br /> viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased <br /> setbacks, color, or other means acceptable to the local unit of government, assuming <br /> summer leaf-on conditions. <br /> D. Lots of record in the office of the county recorder on the date of enactment of <br /> local shoreland controls that do not meet the requirements of iteins A to E and subparts <br /> 2a and 2b may be allowed as building sites without variances from lot size requirements <br /> provided the use is permitted in the zoning district, the lot has been in separate ownership <br /> from abutting lands at all times since it became substandard, was created compliant with <br /> official controls in effect at the time, and sewage treatment and setback requirements of <br /> the shoreland controls are met. Necessary variances from setback requirements must be <br /> obtained before any use, sewage treatment system, or building permits are issued for the <br /> lots. In evaluating all the variances, boards of adjustment shall consider sewage treatment <br /> and water supply capabilities or constraints of the lots and shall deny the variances if <br /> � adequate facilities cannot be provided. If, in a group of two or more contiguous lots <br /> under the same ownership, any individual lot does not meet the requirements of items A <br /> to E and subparts 2a and 2b, the lot must not be considered as a separate parcel of land <br /> for the purposes of sale or development. The lot must be combined with the one or more <br /> contiguous lots so they equal one or more parcels of land, each meeting the requirements of <br /> items A to E and subparts 2a and 2b as much as possible. Local shoreland controls may set <br /> a minimum size for nonconforming lots or impose their restrictions on their development. <br /> E. If allowed by local governments, lots intended as controlled accesses to <br /> �public waters or recreation areas for use by owners of nonriparian lots within subdivisions <br /> must meet or exceed the following standards: <br /> (1) They must meet the width and size for residential lots, and be suitable <br /> for the intended uses of controlled access lots. If docking, mooring, or over-water storage <br /> of watercraft is to be allowed at a controlled access lot, then the width of the lot must be <br /> increased by the percent of the requirements for riparian residential lots for each watercraft <br /> provided for by covenant beyond six, consistent with the following table: <br /> Controlled Access Lot Frontage Requirements <br /> Ratio of lake size to shore Required increase in frontage <br /> length (acres/mile) (percent) <br /> Less than 100 25 <br /> 100-200 20 <br /> 201-300 15 <br /> Copyright�2009 by the Revisor of Statutes,State of Minnesota.
