Areas Impacted by Shoreland and Wild & Scenic Overlay Districts <br />There are several bodies of water that have been given a shoreland management classification using <br />criteria under MN Rules pt. 6120.3300. The protected waters of the City that have been classified by the <br />commissioner of natural resources include Shake Eddy Lake, Lake Itasca, Jeglens Marsh, Peltzer Pond, <br />Rogers Lake, Sunfish Lake, Ramsey Terrace Pond, Magnesium Street Pond, Industry Avenue Pond <br />North, Industry Avenue Pond South, Trott Brook, and Ford Brook. The figure below depicts the areas <br />impacted by the Shoreland Overlay District. <br />In addition, areas along the Mississippi and Rum River are subject to protections of the Wild and Scenic <br />Rivers Overlay District. The areas along the Mississippi River share the same boundary as the MRCCA <br />Overlay District and contain overlapping regulations. The figure below depicts the areas impacted by the <br />Wild and Scenic Rivers Overlay District. <br />As stated in the previous section, the proposed Shoreland Rulemaking contemplates incorporation of <br />Wild and Scenic Rivers regulation in order to attempt to streamline administration of both regulations. <br />The City recommends an exemption in the Shoreland/Wild and Scenic Rules that defaults to MRCCA <br />regulations to avoid overlapping and confusing regulations. <br />126 <br />
