Permit applications must be submitted to the Zoning Administrator on forms provided by the Zoning Administrator. The permit application must include the following as applicable: (f) (g) July 2015 16 Commentary permitted or conditional use, but we recommend they be treated as a temporary use, without accessory structures and with an emergency plan in place. 9.22 (f) and 9.23 are optional. Communities may apply a monetary limit such as $500 as a threshold for a "minimal investment," recognizing that this threshold will vary from place to place. Many of the standards and procedures in this section are likely to exist in other parts of the community's zoning ordinance, and may be cross-referenced rather than repeated here. However, the community must be able to demonstrate that these procedures or comparable ones are in place. The term "Zoning Administrator" is used throughout this section for ease of reference, but in some communities the City Clerk or other official may fill this role. The exemption for farm fences in (c) is optional. Any change in the course, current or cross- section of public waters requires a public waters work permit from the DNR under MN Stat. 103G.245. This section may cross-reference any other permitting requirements in the zoning ordinance. I Commented [TG39]: 117-188
