-2- An amendment to NR 2700 would require a public hearing under M.S. § 15.0412 presided over by the State Office of Hearing Examiners. The City would have to petition for such an amendment pursuant to M.S. ~ 15.0415 and justify the need and reasonableness of such an amendment. Such actions would require much time and expense for the City and the State. COMMENTS ON PROPOSED SCENIC RIVER ORDINANCE: 1) Section 170.076.110.

COMMENTS ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The major area of contention with the comprehensive plan is in regards to the proposed dimensional standards and conflicts with required shoreland and wild and scenic standards. l) Page 30. The lot size requirements in Table 3 for unsewered non-riparian lots is listed as 20,000 square feet for NE shoreland, 15,000 square feet for RD shoreland, and 10,000 square feet for GD.shoreland. The municipal shoreland standards in NR 83 for unsewered non-riparian lots requires the same dimensional standards as for riparian non-sewered lots, i.e. 80,000 square feet for NE; 40,000 square feet for RD shoreland; and 20,000 square feet for GD shoreland. 2) Page 33. Table 8 lists 75 feet for building setbacks from the ordinary high water mark for unsewered lots along the Mississippi River instead of the required 100-foot setback. The 100-foot setback is also required for the sewered riparian and non-riparian lots. Also the setback for controlled vegetative cutting is lO0 feet.
