1 illuminated by artificial lights, the lights must be shielded or directed 2 to prevent illumination out across public waters; and 3 C. Other outside lighting may be located within the shore impact zone 4 or over public waters if it is used primarily to illuminate potential 5 safety hazards and is shielded or otherwise directed to prevent direct 6 illumination out across public waters. This does not preclude use of 7 navigational lights. 8 2. Uses without water -oriented needs must be located on lots or parcels without 9 public waters frontage, or, if located on lots or parcels with public waters 10 frontage, must either be set back double the normal ordinary high water level 11 setback or be substantially screened from view from the water by vegetation or 12 topography, assuming summer, leaf -on conditions. 13 b. Agriculture use standards. 14 1. General cultivation farming, grazing, nurseries, horticulture, truck farming, sod 15 farming, and wild crop harvesting are permitted uses if steep slopes and shore 16 and bluff impact zones are maintained in permanent vegetation or operated 17 under an approved conservation plan (Resource Management Systems) 18 consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil and water 19 conservation districts or the United States Soil Conservation Service, as provided 20 by a qualified individual or agency. The shore impact zone for parcels with 21 permitted agricultural land uses is equal to a line parallel to and 50 feet from the 22 ordinary high water level. 23 2. Animal feedlots rmust meet the following standards: are not permitted in the 24 Shoreland Overlay. 25 i) New feedlots must not be located in the shorcland of watercourses -or in 26 bluff impact zones and must meet a minimum setback of 300 feet from the 27 edinary high water level of all public waters basins; and- 28 ii) Modifications or cxpans+ons to cxisti ts that are located within 3 29 feet of the ordinary high water level or within a bluff impact zone are 30 allowed if they do not further encroach into the exiting ordinary high 31 water level setback or encroach on bluff impact zones. 32 c. Forest management standards. The harvesting of timber and associated reforestation 33 must be conducted consistent with the provisions of the Minnesota Nonpoint Source 34 Pollution Assessment -Forestry and the provisions of Water Quality in Forest 35 Management "Best Management Practices in Minnesota." 36 d. Extractive use standards. 37 1. Site development and restoration plan. An extractive use site development and 38 restoration plan must be developed, approved, and followed over the course of 39 operation of the site. The plan must address dust, noise, possible pollutant 40 discharges, hours and duration of operation, and anticipated vegetation and 41 topographic alterations. It must also identify actions to be taken during 42 operation to mitigate adverse environmental impacts, particularly erosion, and 43 must clearly explain how the site will be rehabilitated after extractive activities 44 end. 45 2. Setbacks for processing machinery. Processing machinery must be located 46 consistent with setback standards for structures from ordinary high water levels 47 of public waters and from bluffs.
