water runoff. Impervious surface coverage within any lot shall not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the <br />tier area, except that for commercial PVDs thirty five percent (35%) impervious surface coverage may be <br />allowed in the first tier of general development lakes with an approved storm water management plan and <br />consistency with this Chapter. <br />5. Centralization and Design of Facilities: Centralization and design of facilities and structures shall be done <br />according to the following standards: <br />a. Planned unit developments shall be connected to publicly owned water supply and sewer systems; <br />b. Dwelling units or building sites shall be clustered into one or more groups and located on suitable areas <br />of the site. They shall be designed and located to meet or exceed the following dimensional standard for the <br />relevant shoreland classification: setback from the ordinary high water level, elevation above the surface <br />water features, and maximum height. Setbacks from the ordinary high water level shall be in accordance <br />with subsection 1016.14B1 of this Chapter for developments with density increases; <br />c. Shore recreation facilities, including but not limited to swimming areas, docks, and watercraft mooring <br />areas and launching ramps, shall be centralized and located in areas suitable for them. Evaluation of <br />suitability shall include consideration of land slope, water depth, vegetation, soils, depth to ground water <br />and bedrock, or other relevant factors. The number of spaces provided for continuous beaching, mooring, <br />or docking of watercraft shall not exceed one for each allowable dwelling unit or site in the first tier <br />(notwithstanding existing mooring sites in an existing commercially used harbor). Launching ramp <br />facilities, including a dock for loading and unloading equipment, may be provided for use by occupants of <br />dwelling units or sites located in other tiers; <br />d. Structures, parking areas, and other facilities shall be treated to reduce visibility as viewed from public <br />waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color, or other means <br />acceptable to the City, assuming summer, leaf -on conditions. Vegetative and topographic screening shall be <br />preserved, if existing, or may be required to be provided; <br />e. Accessory structures and facilities, except water oriented accessory structures, shall meet the required <br />principal structure setback and must be centralized; and <br />f. Water -oriented accessory structures and facilities may be allowed if they meet or exceed design standards <br />contained in Section 1016.15 of this Chapter and are centralized. (Ord. 1156, 12-12-94) <br />1016.25: GRADING, FILLING AND LAND ALTERATION: <br />A.

Placement of or grading of more than ten (10) cubic yards of material on steep slopes adjacent to lakes <br />and wetlands or within the shore or bluff impact zones. <br />b. Placement of or grading of more than fifty (50) cubic yards of earthen material anywhere in the City. <br />c. Where filling or grading occurs within ten feet (10') of a property line or when such activity alters the <br />drainage patterns of adjacent properties. <br />2. Permit from City Council: A permit from the City Council is required for any projects meeting the <br />following criteria: <br />a. Any fill, grading, or drainage of a public water or a wetland, provided the City Council first determines <br />that the project is either exempt from the 1991 Wetlands Conservation Act or certifies the replacement of <br />any loss of wetland area, values and functions in accordance with Minnesota Rules, chapter 8420 as <br />amended. Questions relating to wetland type, location, area, functions and values must be referred to the <br />technical advisory panel established by Minnesota Statutes section 103G.2242 as amended. <br />b. For any filling or excavating on developed land zoned R-1 or R-2 where the site is less than one acre and <br />the fill or excavation exceeds five hundred (500) cubic yards. <br />c. For any filling or excavating on developed land zoned R-1 or R-2 where the site is one acre or greater <br />and the proposed fill/excavation exceeds one thousand (1,000) cubic yards. <br />d. For any filling or excavating on undeveloped land zoned R-1 or R-2 where the site is less than one acre <br />
