Working Draft Rules <br />(4) placement of essential services. <br />C. Site information. Local governments must require detailed site <br />information and provide for pre -project review of all proposed <br />subdivisions, redevelopments, and planned unit developments <br />as provided under part 6106.0080, subpart 6. <br />Subp. 2. Lot standards for new Tots. <br />A. Where new lots are created, lot area and width standards for <br />conventional subdivisions and commercial and industrial lots <br />must comply with the requirements of the underlying zoning <br />districts, except as follows: <br />(1) the width of riparian lots in the CA-ROS district must be at <br />least 200 feet, unless alternative design methods are used <br />that provide greater protection of riparian areas. <br />B. Lots must have adequate buildable area to comply with part <br />6106.0120. <br />C. Local government ordinances must contain incentives for <br />alternative design methods such as conservation design, <br />transfer of development density, or other zoning and site design <br />techniques that achieve better protection of primary <br />conservation areas. <br />Subpart 3. Design standards. <br />A. Primary conservation areas must be set aside as protected open <br />areas. The amount of area to be protected must be determined <br />as a percentage of tract size as follows: <br />(1) CA-ROS (1/2): at least (30-50%) <br />(2) CA -RN (3): at least (20-30%) <br />(3) CA -RTC (4), CA -UM (6), CA-UC (7): at least (10-20%) <br />(4) CA -SR (5): (10-20%) if the parcel includes native plant <br />communities or provides feasible connections to a regional park <br />or trail system; otherwise, no requirement <br />B. If the primary conservation areas exceed the percentages <br />provided by item A, then the local government may determine <br />which primary conservation areas are to be protected. <br />C. If primary conservation areas exist but do not have natural <br />vegetation, then a vegetation assessment must be completed <br />for the areas to be protected to determine if vegetation <br />restoration is needed. If restoration is needed, it must be <br />restored according to part 6106.0150 subpart 7. <br />D. If the primary conservation areas do not exist or do not meet <br />the percentages specified under item A, local governments must <br />determine whether any portions of the parcel have been <br />identified as potential restoration areas in local plans, according <br />to part 6106.0070 subpart 4. Where such areas have been <br />identified, vegetation must be restored consistent with a <br />38 <br />Commentary/Rationale for Changes <br />The lot width provision applies only to new <br />lots on tracts exceeding the size threshold <br />established under subp. 1. Narrower lots may <br />be allowed if conservation design methods or <br />other techniques are used to protect riparian <br />areas. <br />Feedback requested on percentages of open <br />space: are these ranges reasonable and <br />appropriate? <br />Item D: new provision for restoration of land <br />areas according to a restoration plan. <br />MRCCA Working Draft Rules — DNR, June 2, 2014 <br />
