boatlifts are now specifically mentioned as having no restrictions in terms of setbacks to the lake. Additionally,patios, stairways, access lifts, landings, fences, and one accessory storage shed are now permitted within the structure setback to the lake under certain circumstances. a. Patios—A regulation permitting uncovered patios within the structure setback to the lake, under certain circumstances, has been added to the regulations. The patios must be uncovered, located at grade, and remain outside of the Shore Impact Zone. b. Stairway landings—The proposed ordinance limits the square feet of landings within the Shore Impact Zone to 40 feet. c. Storage sheds—The proposed ordinance permits one accessory storage shed within the structure setback to the lake provided that it is not located within the shore impact zone (25 feet on Lake Johanna) and does not exceed 64 square feet in size or eight feet in height. The structures can be connected to electricity and lighting is permitted. Separate regulations within the Code limit glare as a nuisance. 4. Dock setbacks—The proposed regulations include a five foot setback for dock placement - at the shoreline. There is also an added provision that would allow the Zoning Administer to alter this regulation if topography or lot width created a significant limitation on dock placement on a particular lot. 5. Mitigation—A mitigation plan similar to the one used by Shoreview has been added in place of the permeable surface credit that was proposed previously by Staff. The new language would require all properties seeking special approval from the City through a variance or conditional use permit to provide a mitigation plan to the City. The mitigation plan would also be required if a property wanted to increase the impervious coverage by up to five percent with a pervious hard surface. Performance Standards (Attachment Q Section 1325.07 included regulations on lakefront lots; however, that section has been removed from Section 1325 and reincorporated into Section 1330. These regulations have not otherwise been altered.
