"River - <br />dependent commercial and industrial use" means use of land for <br />commercial or industrial purposes, where access to and use of a surface <br />water feature is an integral part of the normal conductance of business, <br />such as barge facilities, ports, and marinas. <br />Subp. 68. Selective vegetation removal. "Selective vegetative removal" <br />means the removal of individual trees or shrubs that are not in a <br />contiguous patch, strip, row, or block and that does not substantially <br />reduce the tree canopy or understory cover. <br />Subp. 69. Setback. "Setback" means a separation distance measured <br />horizontally. <br />Subp. 70. Shore impact zone. "Shore impact zone" means land located <br />between the ordinary high water level of public waters and a line <br />parallel to it at a setback of 50 percent of the required structure <br />setback or 50 feet landward of the ordinary high water level in areas of <br />agricultural use. <br />Subp. 71. Shoreline facilities. "Shoreline facilities" means facilities that <br />require a location adjoining public waters for ingress and egress, <br />loading and unloading, and public water intake and outflow, such as <br />barge facilities, port facilities, commodity loading and unloading <br />equipment, watercraft lifts, marinas, short-term watercraft mooring <br />facilities for patrons, and water access ramps. Structures that would be <br />enhanced by a shoreline location, but do not require a location <br />adjoining public waters as part of their function, are not shoreline <br />facilities, such as restaurants, bait shops, and boat dealerships. <br />Subp. 72. Shoreline recreational use area. "Shoreline recreational use <br />area" means the area within the shore impact where natural vegetation <br />may be cleared for recreational purposes. <br />Subp. 73. Slope preservation zone.

Subdivision. "Subdivision" has the meaning given under <br />Minnesota Statutes, chapter 462. <br />8 <br />Commentary/Rationale for Changes <br />"Selective vegetation removal" - new term <br />used in the vegetation management <br />standards. <br />Shore Impact Zone (SIZ) <br />OHWL <br />❑HWL Setback <br />3bruclure Setback t. <br />Shore <br />lInielpeCt <br />Zone Structure <br />Stnidure Sal — <br />Shoreline facilities are river -dependent and <br />need a riverfront location, consistent with the <br />economic purposes of the river corridor as <br />described in EO 79-19.
