However, the size and height are still less that what is <br />permitted under the State model ordinance (Section 7.3). <br /> <br />E. Lakeshore lots may be permitted one (1) accessory storage shed within the required structure <br />setback from the ordinary high water level, provided that it complies with the following <br />provisions: <br />1. The structure or facility is not located within the Shore Impact Zone. <br />2. The structure or facility does not exceed 100 square feet in size and eight (8) feet in <br />height, measured to the highest point of the structure. <br />3. The maximum width of the structure, as viewed from the water, does not exceed ten (10) <br />feet. <br />4. The structure or facility is not designed or used for human habitation and does not <br />contain a water supply or sewage treatment facilities. <br />5. The structure or facility is setback a minimum of ten (10) feet from the ordinary high <br />water level. <br />6. The structure or facility shall be constructed of material architecturally similar in design, <br />texture, and color to the principal structure on the lot; the design shall be reviewed by the <br />City Planner prior to issuance of building permits. <br />7. The structure shall be screened a minimum of 50 percent by opaque vegetation or <br />topography on the three walls seen from the lake with ecologically suited landscaping <br />landward of the ordinary high water level from the lake. <br />8. The roof shall not be used as a deck or storage area. <br />9. The structure or facility is not a boathouse or boat storage structure as defined under <br />Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.245. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />If the Council wishes to proceed, the next step is to schedule a public hearing at the Planning <br />Commission. This will be followed by City Council review and action. If the Council provides <br />direction at this workshop, the public hearing could be published and scheduled for the May 5, <br />2021 Planning Commission meeting. This could potentially allow the City Council to consider this <br />amendment at the regular meeting on May 24, 2021. <br /> <br />This amendment came about as a result of the discussion on the variance at 3493 Siems Court. <br />Following the Council’s final action, the Applicant has a couple of options. One is to withdraw the <br />variance request and revise his plans to meet the new ordinance requirements. The second option <br />is to move forward with his original request. In this case, the City Council must take action on the <br />variance request by July 12, 2021. <br /> <br />Budget Impact: <br />NA <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />A. Draft Ordinance Language
