MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 9, 2009
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Meagan Beekman, City Planner
SUBJECT: Shoreland Regulations Ordinance
City of Arden Hills
Requested Action
Discuss concerns raised by residents at the November 4, 2009, public hearing and provide
direction to staff.
The proposed amendments impact three sections of the Zoning Code:
• Section 1305.04, Definitions (Attachment A)
• Section 1330, Shoreland Regulations (Attachment B)
• Section 1325.07, Performance Standards (Attachment C)
Discussion
At the November 4, 2009, public hearing a number of concerns and questions were raised by
both the Planning Commission and residents. The Planning Commission voted to table the
proposed Zoning Code amendments to a work session in order to further discuss the issue and
provide direction to staff on how to proceed with the proposed amendments.
A revised draft of the proposed Section 1330, Shoreland Regulations, has been included in this
packet in black -lined format (Attachment A). Any revisions to the draft since the November 4,
2009, meeting have been highlighted, as well as items that require further discussion. Below is a
list and summary of concerns raised at the November 4, 2009, meeting. While the focus of
tonight's discussion will focus on these items, the entire document remains open to revision and
discussion.

Subd 4 — Exceptions to Structure Setback Requirements
1. Patios —Patios are currently classified as structures and are therefore not permitted within
the structure setback to the lake (50 feet on Lake Johanna). Landings to stairways are
currently permitted up to a certain size. Should patios be permitted? How big? How
close to the lake?
2. Stairway width — The proposed ordinance limits the width of stairways accessing the lake
to four feet. Is this appropriate? What would be a more appropriate width?
3. Stairway landings —The proposed ordinance limits the square feet of landings within the
structure setback to the lake to 25 feet. Is this adequate?
4. 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), remains unlit and not connected to electricity, and does not
exceed 25 square feet in size or eight feet in height.
a. Lighting and electricity —Should storage sheds have access to light and
electricity? What is an appropriate amount of light?
b. Size — Is 25 square feet and eight feet in height a reasonable size? What is an
appropriate size?
Subd 5 —Maintenance of the Shoreland
1. Dock setbacks — The proposed regulations do not include setbacks for dock placement at
the shoreline. Lakeshore property lines generally end at the ordinary high water level;
however, in practice it is not uncommon for lakeshore lot owners to extend the imaginary lot
lines out into the water immediately in front of a lakeshore lot for the purposes of lake use.
In order to discourage docks from encroaching into this area would a setback be appropriate
at the point of contact with the shore? If so, how much?

for the wise development of shorelands of public waters. The Legislature of
Minnesota has delegated responsibility to the municipalities of the State to regulate
the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public waters and thus
preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, preserve the economic and natural
environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise utilization of waters and
related land resources. This responsibility shall hereby be recognized by the City of
Arden Hills.

authorization contained in furtherance of the policies declared in Minnesota Statutes
Cha ters 105 and 462 and Minnesota Re ulationsParts
