Proposed MRCCA Land Use Districts <br />• What is meant by "More restrictive stormwater management"? Will the rules <br />further restrict imperious surface? If so, how will existing property owners be <br />impacted? <br />• What is meant lby'structure heights will be lower than in ether districts'? Does <br />this mean that homes in the E district (perhaps across the street from homes in a <br />C district) can be taller than homes ou riparian (or District C) properties? Most <br />zoning ordinances use the same height standards for all homes. <br />• What would be allowed for shoreline stabilization? Given the fully developed <br />character of the proposed C Districts, Bank stabilization should allow for a variety <br />of materials that would be installed using the appropriate best management <br />practice. <br />■ Seasonal docks should be permitted. <br />• Should add to the description: `where practical, access to the riverbank should be <br />the norm'. This would he consistent with the fully -developed residential use of <br />the distract. <br />D. This district includes specific historic downtown areas where the <br />de veloped landscape extei7ds to the shoreline with predominantly mixed <br />uses and, frequently, smafi lets. Controls should focus on protecting historic <br />and cultural resources,, liirrdting height of new structures to ensure <br />consistency with the surrounding land uses, and managing storm water. <br />Shoreline vegetation should be preserved or reestablished <br />• Limiting height may limit redevelopment opportunities. <br />• Limiting height may not always be consistent with the existing surrounding. <br />character. <br />• does this aim to preserve the existing shoreline vegetation or does it require a <br />charge in vegetation. <br />• How and why is regulation of an existing downtown area different from <br />regulations for the urbar7 areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul? <br />E. This district includes non -riparian lots separated from tyre river by <br />distance, development andlor a traasportat on corridor. Developed lands <br />exist between this district and the river,, aria the land in thJs district is not <br />readily visible form the river surface or opposite bank. Standard padding <br />height and storrrrwater management and erosion control will apply. <br />Page 3 <br />
