Parking areas and structures, except shoreline facilities, must <br />meet the dimensional and performance standards in these <br />MRCCA rules and must be designed to incorporate topographic <br />and vegetative screening. <br />Shoreline facilities must comply with chapter 6115 and must: <br />(1) be designed in a compact fashion so as to minimize the <br />shoreline area affected; and <br />(2) minimize the surface area occupied in relation to the <br />number of watercraft or barges to be served. <br />C. The placement of dredged material is allowed subject to existing <br />federal and state permit requirements and agreements. <br />Subp. 7. Cellular telephone towers.
