Meet required structure placement and height standards in section 920 (structure 5 height and placement and lot size). 6 2. Not be readily visible. 7 b. Directional signs for patrons arriving at a business by watercraft must comply with the 8 following standards: 9 1. They must be consistent with Minn. Stats. § 86B.115. 10 2. Only convey the location and name of the establishment and the general types of 11 goods and services available, if located in a shore impact zone. 12 3. Be no greater than ten feet in height and 32 square feet in surface area; and 13 4. If illuminated, the lighting must be shielded to prevent illumination out across the 14 river or to the sky. 15 (7) Fences. Fences between principal structures and the river are allowed provided that fences are: 16 a. Not higher than six feet. 17 b. Not located within 40 feet of slopes greater than 12%. 18 C. Not located in the regulatory floodplain. 19 (H) Performance standards for public facilities. 20 (1) Purpose. To establish design standards for public facilities that are consistent with best 21 management practices and that minimize impacts to primary conservation areas, public river 22 corridor views and other resources identified in the MRCCA plan. Public facilities serve the 23 public interest by providing public access to the Mississippi River corridor or require locations 24 in or adjacent to the river corridor and therefore require some degree of flexibility. 25 (2) General design standards. In addition to the standards set forth above, all public facilities must 26 be designed and constructed to: 27 a. Minimize visibility of the facility from the river to the extent consistent with the purpose 28 of the facility; 29 b. Avoid primary conservation areas, unless no alternative exists. If no alternative exists, 30 then disturbance to primary conservation areas must be avoided to the greatest extent 31 practicable, and design and construction must minimize impacts; and 32 C. Minimize disturbance of spawning and nesting times by scheduling construction at times 33 when local fish and wildlife are not spawning or nesting. 34 (3) Right-of-way maintenance standards. Right-of-way maintenance must comply with the 35 following standards: 36 a. Vegetation currently in a natural state must be maintained to the extent feasible; Page 96 of 141
