Mr. Carlson,
It appears from the survey on file from 1977, there is a 7.5 x 7.5 shed located within 75' of the lakeshore and
mainly on the neighboring property (copy attached).
In order to construct a new shed a building permit would be required, along with an updated survey including
hardcover calculations. The survey would need to show the location of the new shed, at a minimum distance
of 75' from the shoreline. I recommend coming in to discuss your shed with us before going forward with
survey work. Please let me know what day and times works for you.
The only structures allowed within the 75' setback are lockboxes or Water-oriented accessory structures (see
code below)
Sec. 78-1281. Water-oriented accessory structures.
The only water-oriented accessory structure allowed to be located nearer the ordinary high water level
than the normal structure setback as specified in this article shall be a lockbox no greater than 20 square feet
in area and no higher than 48 inches in height. Such a structure requires a building permit from the city.

Auto forwarded by a Rule
I have a small (8x8 or 9x9) storage shed on my property on Forest Lake (Lake Minnetonka). Keep lawn furniture, life
jackets, rakes, etc. in it.
The shed was there before we moved there in April 1992. 1 would guess it is 25 years old or older.

Beginning to deteriorate a bit. Needs some attention. Would like to replace it(rather than piecemeal rebuild it)with a
shed of comparable size (8 x 12). Saw a very nice one at the State Fair yesterday and that is what is prompting my note
today.
Do I need any sort of a permit from you or anyone else? If I do, how do I go about getting it?
