AGENDA ITEMS <br /> A. Shoreland Ordinance and Lake Classification Discussion <br /> Senior Planner Jagoe stated at its May 24, 2021 Regular Meeting, the City Council reviewed the <br /> Zoning Code Amendment for Planning Case 21-008 to permit accessory storage sheds within the <br /> required structure setback from the ordinary high water level of up to 100 square feet in size and 8 <br /> feet in height. At that meeting, the City Council tabled the amendment to allow for further <br /> discussion and review of lake classifications. Staff provided detailed historical information for <br /> the Council for the City's shoreland ordinance, the lakes classifications, and commented on the <br /> proposed Ordinance revisions. <br /> Senior Planner Jagoe explained in 1969, the State of Minnesota passed the Shoreland <br /> Management Act due to concerns over rapid development, crowding, and declining water quality <br /> and recreational value of the State's lakes and rivers. From 1967-1982, the Minnesota <br /> Department of Natural Resources (DNR) noted a shoreland development increase by about 74% <br /> with conversion of seasonal cabins to permanent dwellings and development of new permanent <br /> homes. This act directed the DNR to develop rules and oversee programs for shoreland <br /> management for Cities and Counties. In 1976, the DNR adopted Shoreland rules for Cities. These <br /> Shoreland rules are MN Rules Chapter 6120, Shoreland and Floodplain Management. In response <br />
