Stairways, Lifts, and Landings. Stairways and lifts are the preferred <br /> alternative to major topographic alterations for achieving access up and <br /> down bluffs and steep slopes to shore areas. Stairways and lifts must meet <br /> the following design requirements: <br /> (1) stairways and lifts must not exceed four feet in width on residential <br /> lots. Wider stairways may be used for commercial properties, <br /> public open -space recreational properties, and planned unit <br /> developments; <br /> (2) landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots must not exceed <br /> 32 square feet in area. Landings larger than 32 square feet may be <br /> used for commercial properties, public open -space recreational <br /> properties, and planned unit developments; <br /> (3) canopies or roofs are not allowed on stairways, lifts, or landings; <br /> (4) stairways, lifts, and landings may be either constructed above the <br /> ground on posts or pilings, or placed into the ground, provided they <br /> are designed and built in a manner that ensures control of soil <br /> erosion; <br /> (5) stairways, lifts, and landings must be located in the most visually <br /> inconspicuous portions of lots, as viewed from the surface of the <br /> public water assuming summer, leaf -on conditions, whenever <br /> practical; and <br /> (6) facilities such as ramps, lifts, or mobility paths for physically <br /> handicapped persons are also allowed for achieving access to shore <br /> areas, provided that the dimensional and performance standards of <br /> subitems (1) to (5) are complied with in addition to the requirements <br /> of Minnesota Regulations, Chapter 1340. <br /> D. Significant Historic Sites. No structure may be placed on a significant <br /> historic site in a manner that affects the values of the site unless adequate <br /> information about the site has been removed and documented in a public <br /> repository. <br /> SMO- 260.081 21 260- 081 -10 <br />
