***Impervious Surface Limit Notes: These limits apply to individual lots, parcels, and new subdivisions and PUDs. Additional impervious surface coverage may be <br />allowed for lots in PUDs and conservation subdivisions. <br />****Lot Size & Density Exceptions: Lot size may be smaller and density bonuses may be provided for PUDs and conservation subdivisions as provided in <br />Sheet 6 — Subdivisions & PUDs. <br />DEFINITIONS <br />Building Height = the distance measured from the lowest adjacent grade, to <br />the highest point of flat roofs or mansard roofs, to the average height <br />between the eaves and the highest ridge for pitched or hipped roofs, or to <br />the highest point of any equipment mounted on the building. Height for <br />non -building structures is measured from the lowest adjacent grade to the <br />highest point of the structure. <br />Shore Impact Zone (SIZ) = land located between the OHWL and a line <br />parallel to it as 1/2 the required structure setback from the OHWL (but not <br />less than 50') or the area 50' landward of the OHWL in agricultural areas. <br />Structure = anything constructed or installed or portable, the use of which <br />requires a location on a parcel of land. It includes a movable structure while <br />it is located on land which can be used for housing, business, commercial, <br />agricultural, or office purposes either temporarily or permanently. Structure <br />also includes fences, billboards, swimming pools, poles, pipelines, <br />transmission lines, tracks, and advertising signs. <br />Suitable Area = the area remaining on a lot or parcel of land after the SIZ, <br />bluffs, very steep slopes, rights-of-way, existing roads, historic sites, <br />wetlands, designated floodways, and land below the OHWL are subtracted. <br />Building Height <br />m m I Height <br />Established Grade <br />Shore Impact Zone (SIZ) <br />Average height <br />between eaves and <br />highest ridge <br />Lowest Adjacent <br />Grade <br />OHWL <br />OHWL Setback <br />, I <br />Structure Setback l <br />I I <br />Shore <br />Impact Zone I Principal <br />ON Structure <br />112 Structure Setback I <br />not less than 50') <br />I <br />I I <br />Prepared by Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, August 5, 2010 <br />
