All new lots must have adequate buildable area to comply with the setback <br />requirements of section 920(F)(3) so as to not require variances to use the lots for their <br />intended purpose. <br />Performance standards for private facilities. <br />(1) Purpose. To establish design standards for private facilities that are consistent with best <br />management practices and that minimize impacts to primary conservation areas, public river <br />corridor views and other resources identified in the MRCCA plan. <br />(2) General design standards. All private facilities must be developed in accordance with the <br />vegetation management and land alteration requirements in sections 920(I) and 920(J). <br />(3) Private roads, driveways, and parking areas. Except as provided in section 920(L), private <br />roads, driveways and parking areas must: <br />a. Be designed to take advantage of natural vegetation and topography so that they are <br />not readily visible; <br />b. Comply with structure setback requirements according to section 920(F)(3); and <br />C. Not be placed within the bluff impact zone or shore impact zone, unless exempt under <br />section 920(L) and designed consistent with section 920(F)(2). <br />�4) Private water access and viewing facilities. <br />a. Private access paths must be no more than: <br />1. Eight feet wide, if placed within the shore impact zone; and <br />2. Four feet wide, if placed within the bluff impact zone. <br />b. Private water access ramps must: <br />1. Comply with Minnesota Rules, chapters 6115.0210 and 6280.0250; and <br />2. Be designed and constructed consistent with the applicable standards in Design <br />Handbook for Recreational Boating and Fishing Facilities. <br />C. Design and construction of private stairways, lifts, and landings are subject to the <br />following standards: <br />1. Stairways and lifts must not exceed four feet in width on residential lots. Wider <br />stairways may be used for commercial properties and residential facilities held in <br />common, if approved by conditional use permit; <br />2. Landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots must not exceed 32 square feet <br />in area. Landings larger than 32 square feet area allowed for commercial <br />properties and residential facilities held in common, if approved by conditional <br />use permit; <br />3. Canopies or roofs are prohibited on stairways, lifts, or landings; <br />4. Stairways, lifts, and landings must be located in the least visible portion of the lot <br />whenever practical; and <br />5. Ramps, lifts, mobility paths, or other facilities for persons with physical disabilities <br />are allowed for achieving access to shore areas according to section 7.43 A—D, <br />and as provided under section 920(C)(9). <br />d. One water -oriented accessory structure is allowed for each riparian lot or parcel less <br />than 300 feet in width at the ordinary high water level, with one additional water - <br />oriented accessory structure allowed for each additional 300 feet of shoreline on the <br />same lot or parcel. Water -oriented accessory structures are prohibited in the bluff <br />impact zone and must: <br />1. Not exceed 12 feet in height; <br />2. Not exceed 120 square feet in area; and <br />Page 107 of 160 <br />
