EN HILLS <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: July 8, 2009 PC Agenda Item 2.A <br /> TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Meagan Beekman, City Planner <br /> SUBJECT: Shoreland Management Ordinance Work Session <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Requested Action <br /> The PIanning Commission is being asked to discuss the attached draft of the Shoreland <br /> Management Ordinance, and related zoning code changes, and provide feedback and comments <br /> to Staff. No formal action will be taken. <br /> • The proposed amendments would impact three sections of the Zoning Code: <br /> • Section 1305.04, Definitions <br /> • Section 1330, Shoreland Regulations <br /> • Section 1325.07, Performance Standards <br /> Background <br /> The current set of shoreland regulations was updated in early 2002 as part of the re-codification <br /> of the overall City Code and to address certain requirements in the Minnesota Department of <br /> Natural Resources (DNR) shoreland regulations. While that ordinance update did address some <br /> of the technical requirements set by the DNR, there were a number of holes and unaddressed <br /> issues remaining after that update. Concurrently, Staff has been faced with a number of <br /> questions and concerns expressed by local property owners that are not explicitly addressed in <br /> the existing ordinance. These scenarios have introduced the need for greater clarification to the <br /> City's shoreland ordinance so that it may be able to promptly address common issues and <br /> concerns as they pertain to public waters and wetlands. <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Meeting for July 8, 2009 <br /> IlMetro-inet.uslardenhillsiPlanninglPlanning Cases12009109-003 Shoreland Preservation Ordinance(Pending)1070809-PC report-Shoreland <br /> Regulation Ordinanee.doe <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br />
