Section 9.21.07, Subd. lb, Maximum Impervious Surface. With regard to impervious surface, <br />refer to comments in Section 9.21.07, Subd. la above. Again, we are proposing to increase the <br />maximum building height restriction to 37 feet to allow for the construction of homes in the current <br />design trends. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.05, Subd. 2, items 1 and 2. It is Staffs opinion that campgrounds, governmental or <br />private, should require a conditional use permit. Staff is proposing to eliminate item 1 and add <br />governmental campgrounds to private campgrounds that require a conditional use permit in item 2. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.05, Sub& 2, item 8, Agricultural Uses. Staff feels that some of the agricultural uses <br />such as herbicides, pesticides and feed lots can be detrimental to the river, and therefore, Staff <br />proposes to change this item to require a conditional use permit for these types of uses. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.05, Subd. 2, item 11, Essential Services. Staff feels that thc definition of essential <br />services falls more in line with item 18 in the same table regarding utility u'ansmission power lines <br />and pipelines. Staff has proposed to eliminate item 11, Essential Services, and include it in item <br />18, Utility Transmission Power Lines, so that these essential services also require a conditional use <br />permit. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.06, Subd. 1, item 7. Again for reasons stated earlier, Staff is proposing to increase <br />the height restriction 37 feet and is proposing to eliminate that language that would exempt <br />agricultural buildings from this restriction. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.06, Subd. 2, item t. Staff is proposing to increase the minimum lot size for riparian <br />and non-riparian lots from 4 and 2 1/2 acres to 10 acres. <br /> <br />Section 9.23.06, Subd. 2, item 7. Again, as explained above, Staff is proposing to increase the <br />maximum height restriction to 37 feet and to eliminate that language that exempts agricultural uses <br />from this restriction. <br /> <br />These proposed changes were fOrwarded to DNR for review and comment. Enclosed is a letter <br />dated March 6, I995 from Sandy Fecht of the DNR. This letter contains comments regarding <br />Staffs proposed amendments to shoreland regulations. <br /> <br />There is a 1,000 scale environmental overlay map available for review at City Hall that has recently <br />been updated to identify shorelands, protected wetlands, scenic and critical river corridors. This <br />map and some ll"xt7" reductions wilt also be available at the meeting for discussion purposes. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the proposed ordinance amendments <br />and direct Staff to incorporate any additional changes for DNR review and schedule a public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to: <br />Direct City Staff to make any amendments deemed necessary by the Planning Commission, <br />solicit DNR review and schedule a public hearing for the regular December, 1995 meeting <br />of the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />PC: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Engineer <br />11/9/95 <br /> <br /> <br />
