Crossings of public waters or land controlled by the <br />commissioner are subject to approval by the commissioner according to Minn. Stats. §§ <br />84.415 and 103G.245. <br />(5) Public utilities. Public utilities must comply with the following standards: <br />a. High -voltage transmission lines, wind energy conversion systems greater than five <br />megawatts, and pipelines are regulated according to Minn. Stats. chs. 216E, 216F, and <br />216G respectively; and <br />b. If overhead placement is necessary, utility facility crossings must minimize visibility of <br />the facility from the river and follow other existing rights -of -way as much as practicable. <br />C. The appearance of structures must be as compatible as practicable with the <br />surrounding area in a natural state with regard to height and width, materials used, and <br />color. <br />cemmi inkatieR teeiorc� <br />(6) Public transportation facilities. Public transportation facilities shall comply with structure <br />placement and height standards in Section 117-148(f) (Structure height and placement and <br />lot size). Where such facilities intersect or about two or more MRCCA districts, the least <br />restrictive standards apply. Public transportation facilities must be designed and constructed <br />to give priority to: <br />a. Providing scenic overlooks for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians; <br />b. Providing safe pedestrian crossings and facilities along the river corridor; <br />C. Providing access to the riverfront in public ownership; and <br />d. Allowing for use of the land between the river and the transportation facility. <br />(7) Public recreational facilities. Where such facilities intersect or abut two or more MRCCA <br />districts, the least restrictive dimensional standards apply. Public transportation facilities <br />must be designed and constructed to give priority to: <br />a. <br />b. Roads and driveways associated with public recreational facilities must not be placed in <br />the bluff or shore impact zones unless no other placement alternative exists. If no <br />alternative exists, then design and construction must minimize impacts to shoreline <br />vegetation, erodible soils and slopes, and other sensitive resources. <br />C. Trails, access paths, and viewing areas associated with public recreational facilities and <br />providing access to or views of the Mississippi River are allowed within the bluff and <br />shore impact zones if design, construction, and maintenance methods are consistent <br />with the best management practice guidelines in trail planning, design, and <br />development guidelines. <br />1. Hard -surface trails are not allowed on the face of bluffs with a slope exceeding 30 <br />percent. Natural surface trails are allowed, provided they do not exceed eight feet <br />in width. <br />2. Trails, paths, and viewing areas must be designed and constructed to minimize: <br />(i) Visibility from the river; <br />(ii) Visual impacts on public river corridor views; and <br />(iii) Disturbance to and fragmentation of primary conservation areas. <br />d. Public water access facilities must comply with the following requirements: <br />Page 103 of 147 <br />
