1 3. The variance will not be detrimental to PCAs and PRCVs nor will it contribute to 2 negative incremental impacts to PCAs and PRCVs when considered in the context 3 of past, present and reasonable future actions; and 4 4. The variance will not negatively impact(other MRCCA plan-identified resources). 5 (4) Conditional and interim use permits. All conditional and interim uses, required under this 6 section, must comply with Minn. Stats. § 462.3595 and must consider the potential impacts 7 on primary conservation areas, public river corridor views, and other resources identified in 8 the MRCCA plan. In reviewing the application,the City of Ramsey shall: 9 a. Evaluate the impacts to these resources and if negative impacts are found, require 10 conditions to mitigate the impacts that are related to and proportional to the impacts, 11 consistent with Section 235 of this chapter and 12 b. Make written findings that the conditional use is consistent with the purpose of this 13 section, as follows: 14 1. The extent, location and intensity of the conditional use will be in substantial 15 compliance with the MRCCA plan; 16 2. The conditional use is consistent with the character and management purpose of 17 the MRCCA district in which it is located; 18 3. The conditional use will not be detrimental to PCAs and PRCVs nor will it 19 contribute to negative incremental impacts to PCAs and PRCVs when considered 20 in the context of past, present and reasonable future actions; and 21 4. The conditional use will not negatively impact (other MRCCA plan-identified 22 resources). 23 (5) Conditions of approval. The City of Ramsey shall evaluate the impacts to PCAs, PRCVs, and 24 other resources identified in the MRCCA plan, and if negative impacts are found, require 25 conditions to mitigate the impacts that are related to and proportional to the impacts. 26 Mitigation may include: 27 a. Restoration of vegetation identified as "vegetation restoration priorities" identified in 28 the MRCCA plan; 29 b. Preservation of existing vegetation; 30 C. Stormwater runoff management; 31 d. Reducing impervious surface; 32 e. Increasing structure setbacks; 33 f. Wetland and drainageway restoration and/or preservation; and 34 g. And other conservation measures. 35 (6) Application materials. Applications for permits and discretionary actions required under this 36 section must submit the following information unless the zoning administrator determines 37 that the information is not needed: 38 a. A detailed project description; and 39 b. Scaled maps and plans, dimensional renderings, maintenance agreements, and other 40 materials that identify and describe: 41 1. Primary conservation areas; 42 2. Public river corridor views; 43 3. Buildable area; 44 4. Existing and proposed topography and drainage patterns; 45 5. Proposed storm water and erosion and sediment control practices; 46 6. Existing and proposed vegetation to be removed and established; 47 7. Ordinary high water level, blufflines, and all required setbacks; 48 8. Existing and proposed structures; 49 9. Existing and proposed impervious surfaces; and Page 101 of 160
