-3- Page 33. The wild and scenic river standards for the Mississippi River are superceded by the Critical Areas program as long as the critical areas plan is at least as restrictive as NR 79-81 and NR 2600. This was specified in the memorandum of understanding dated July, 1977 and signed by the Cities of Ramsey and Dayton, the EQB and the DNR. (memo attached) Page 42. General Provisions. Some of the standards specified in the Critical Areas report are in error and do not conform to the wild and scenic river standards. These cannot be used to meet the intent of these regulations as per the memo of understanding. 5) Map 11. This map shows the Bi (business) district extending to the Mississippi River. In past conversations with Dexter Marston, an agreement was reached that the City of Ramsey could continue commercial and business districts along Highway 10 corridor within the Mississippi River land use districts in Section 34. However, this did not mean that business or commercial uses could extend all the way to the river. At least a 100-foot buffer zone must be maintained between commercial and business development and the river. 6) Page 44. The standards as listed in Table 9 are not in compliance with NR 79, NR 2600 nor NR 83. 7) Page 44. Item 3. The present regulations and permitted use are not in com- pliance with municipal shoreland and ~ftd and scenic river standards. I have previously addressed the dimensional standards. Uses permitted in the Bi district are not permitted under wild and scenic river regulations. 8) Page 16. Item 3. There should be no clearcutting within 150 feet of the ordinary high water mark within the Rum River rural scenic district as per Nil 79 (g). The following are general comments which probably should be corrected. 1) Page 7. Incorrect reference to wetland classification. The DNR uses the Fish and Wildlife Circular No. 39 for its wetland classification. 2) Page 9. The shoreland standards apply to watercourses also. 3) Page 31. The Rum River has only one set of regulations in regards to wild and scenic rivers. 4) The basin inventory as shown in Map 1 is subject to change pending completion of the public waters inventory for Anoka County. 5) Map 8. The reference to the "General Flood Plain District" is incorrect. The general flood plain district is those areas where a "floodway" and "flood fringe" haven't been determined.
