to upgrading nonconforming systems: I. A systematic review of existing records to determine which systems in the jurisdiction are nonconforming and requiring reconstruction when practicable; 2. A systematic on-site inspection program including all properties where adequate record of conformances does not exist, identifYing nonconforming or illegal systems and requiring reconstruction when appropriate; or 3. A notification or education program that is oriented toward convincing substantial numbers of property owners to evaluate their sewage systems and voluntarily upgrade the sewage treatment system, if appropriate. No later than the date of adoption of compliant shore land regulations, a community must submit a formal resolution to the commissioner indicating which of the above three options the community has selected. The commissioner can accept other programs if they are justified by the local unit of government. SECTION 7.0 - SUBDlVISION/PLATTING PROVISIONS A community must adopt, at a minimum, the subdivision and platting provisions of this Section of the sample ordinance. A community must demonstrate that it has a legally enforceable mechanism to administer these procedures, standards and criteria. A community must submit a copy of its subdivision regulations to the Department of Natural Resources prior to receiving state approval that the community's overall shore1and regulations are in compliance with Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 - 6120.3900. SECTION 8.0 - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS Local governments must consider incorporating provisions allowing planned unit developments (PUD's). If a community chooses to allow PUD's, they may be allowed for new projects on undeveloped land, redevelopment of previously built sites, or conversions of existing buildings and land. These PUD provisions must be consistent with or more restrictive than the provisions of Section 8.0. At such time as the commissioner approves the local government's shore land regulations, PUD approval would be the sole responsibility ofthe local government. Also, please note that the Department of Natural Resources has developed a PUD Evaluation Worksheet to aid in the administration of these provisions, which is available upon request.
