and then recommended the City consider discussing the purchase of radios at a future
work session. He then said that Staff would like to look at obtaining two radios in 2005
and then one per year after that at a cost of $2,600 per radio.

2. Mr. John Magill (Commercial Properties) Impact of Proposed CSAH 14/Main
Street Widening
Mr. Magill addressed Council on behalf of several local businesses and outlined their
concerns with the County's plan for access onto 20th Avenue.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she had attended the meeting concerning
this matter and then outlined for those in attendance the various options for access at that
intersection.
Mr. Magill indicated that the success of the existing businesses and the development of
the remaining property at the comer is dependent upon access at 20th Avenue and asked
the City to work with them to convince the County to amend the plan.
The Council discussed various scenarios and then asked that the business owners provide
the City with a list of options in priority order for consideration.
Council Member Capra expressed concern about big trucks accessing this site and at
Northern Forest Products. She then said that she would like to see a representative of the
group be invited to attend meetings with the engineer and public works to work on this.
Mr. Peterson indicated that the transportation department at his office has looked at this
and there is just too much of a safety hazard to put an opening that close to an
intersection.
Mr. Magill indicated that they do not care what it looks like but they would like a 20th
Avenue access.
Mr. Vanderbeek commented that accommodations were made for the businesses III
Blaine and he would like the same done for the businesses in Centerville.
Council discussed the possibility of relocating the 21 st Avenue intersection to the west
and requesting a stoplight.
Mayor Sweeney suggested that the business owners get Lino Lakes involved as this
affects property in that City as well.
Council Member Broussard Vickers suggested that the business owners remain positive
and provide suggestions as to how to solve the issue as best as possible rather than
threatening lawsuits.
Council Member Capra indicated that she has asked the engineers to provide information
on future development needs for Centerville as far as what streets will go all the way
through and what can be done to the north.

Council Meeting Minutes
Council set a work session for November 10, 2004 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the 20th
Avenue access with the business owners.
Council Member Capra asked Staff to contact Northern Forest Products and Goetz
Landscaping to determine how the large trucks access their sites.
3. Mr. Paul Burke Cougar Cash
Mr. Burke appeared before Council and asked for consideration of approval for the
cougar cash program noting he had done research with the City of Hutchinson and was
told that it takes approximately two to three hours per month for staff to manage this type
of program. He further indicated that the EDC would like to have the cougar cash
program up and running prior to the holiday season as a way to promote businesses in
town.
Council Member Capra indicated that with the business directory the EDC has spent the
2004 budget. She then said she would like to table this matter until there is a new
administrator on board.
Mr. Burke indicated that the EDC would like to have cougar cash available before the
holiday season. He also noted that Hutchinson has not had an issue with bounced checks.
Motion bv Council Member Capra to table.
The Motion failed for lack of a second.
Mayor Sweeney indicated that the EDC has begun work on the business directory but
they are not paying for it until 2005.
Ms. Stephan indicated that EDC is $2,000 over budget but $4,000 was put back into the
general fund from last year and Council did agree at that time to make it available, if it
was needed.
Council Member Lee asked how long it would take to get this program going.
Mr. Burke indicated it would take two to three weeks.
Council Member Capra asked if the school has anything remotely called cougar cash that
the City would be infringing on.
Mr. Burke indicated they did not.
Council Member Capra indicated that she feels that there are a lot of staff issues to sort
out now and she would like to wait but said she would support this ifmajority of Council
wished to proceed.

resident.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the decorations are not in violation of any City
Ordinance or state statute and the property owner has the right to exercise freedom of
speech.
4. Administrator Search
Council discussed the administrator search and Council Member Broussard Vickers
indicated that she did not feel she was qualified to interview and select a City
Administrator and would prefer to utilize a search firm as was done last time.
Mayor Sweeney indicated that he would like to begin the process as it takes a long time
to hire an administrator.
Council Members Capra, Lee and Paar indicated that they would prefer to discuss the
position with Mr. Meyer, the new Finance Director, as he has previous administrator
experience prior to spending $20,000 to $25,000 on a search firm.
Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that her decision on the hiring of Mr.
Meyer came based on a recommendation for a Finance Director and not an administrator
and she does not feel that the two positions are interchangeable.
Council Member Capra asked Staff to schedule a work session with Council, Ms. Moore-
Sykes and Mr. Meyer to discuss the matter prior to the next Council Meeting.
5. 6878 Deer Court - Lack of Sod/Final GradingfLandscaving
Mr. Glaeser appeared before Council and indicated that the lack of sod at 6878 Deer
Court is causing runoff into the drain tile and the neighbors are afraid that it will fill up
and cause a backup into their homes. He then asked Council to consider using the $1,500
escrow to have the grade redone and sod installed to stop the erosion. He further noted
that he has done some investigating on this matter and the property owner feels it is not
his responsibility and the builder feels it is not his responsibility so it is unlikely that it
will get done.

COWlcil Meeting Minutes
Mr. Palzer informed Council that a sprinkler system is being installed at the property and
he received a call from the contractor asking whether the City had hired someone to
install the sod so it appears that either the builder or the homeowner has contracted to
have the work done.
Motion bv Council Member Capra. seconded bv Council Member Lee to direct
public works to contract to have the l!rade restored and install sod utilizinl! the
$1.500 escrow to ensure that the erosion situation is remedied.
Council Member Broussard Vickers asked that an insurance certificate be obtained from
the contractor used.
Mr. Glaeser asked the City to consider sodding the entire yard.
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that the $1,500 probably would not cover restoring the
grade and sodding the entire yard. He then noted there is a process that the City must go
through before having the work done so that the amount can be assessed to the property.
VOTE: All in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv.
6. Mr. Lvnn Proposal
Council discussed the proposal and agreed that it would be best to be fully staffed so that
the training did not have to be repeated.
Motion bv Council Member Lee. seconded bv Council Member Capra to table. All
in favor. Motion carried unanimouslv.
VIII. OLD BUSINESS
I. Sedona Homes/Jackson Commercial Final Plat and Developer's Agreement
City Attorney Hoeft indicated that there were sections of the document in need of
clarification and update as this process was begun a year ago. He then reviewed those
items with Mr. Keleher.
Mr. Keleher agreed to a completion date for the private improvements of July I, 2005.
Mr. Keleher indicated that as they will be asking for occupancy prior to paving they are
willing to have the $76,000 escrow for bituminous added back into the document.
Council Member Capra indicated that she would like to have sod used because the
development across the street utilized hydro seeding and it was very weedy.
Mr. Keleher indicated that they intend to sod all areas around the buildings and will
utilize some type of seed near the drainage areas.

Council discussed a trail in lieu of a commercial park dedication fee.
Mr. Keleher indicated that he would be interested in putting in a trail from his building
toward the strip center to move traffic between the two commercial areas.
Council discussed the matter and asked for a $6,000 escrow for the cost of a trail to allow
the City to place the trail after the road construction is done.
Mr. Keleher agreed to the $6,000 but asked that he be able to pay as the units develop at
$600.00 per unit. Council agreed.

for ease in administration.

City Attorney Hoeft provided Council with an update on the issues surrounding the
potential purchase of property from the St. Paul Water Utility. He then noted that he was
able to negotiate away the deed restrictions, the request to annex the property, and reduce
the setback from the lake but the price does not seem to be negotiable.
Council discussed the matter and noted that it may be possible to purchase property along
the lake from the County as part of the CSAH 14 road construction.
Council asked Staff to inform St. Paul Water Utility that it is exploring all of its options
and note that the price is not agreeable to the City.

further noted that the Officer has indicated that there does not seem to be an issue with
speeding vehicles in this location.

To: Centerville City Council,
If an opening still exists on the P1aaning and Zoning Carmis s ion , I would
like to be considered. I have nothing in a. reSlllre that shol",s any background
for this CQUllission, but have a. definite interest in the present and future
of Centerville. I've resided here for 15 years.
furing the 37':1 years that I was employed with 3M Co., I worked in prod-
uction planning, inventory control, and production supervision. I served on
the Centennial Lakes Police Cannission for 3':a years and am currently serving
on the Anoka County Ccmronity Corrections Advisory Board. .
Thank you for your attention to my intent.

Dear Members of Planning and Zoning Commission:
First of all, let me introduce myself. I am a local owner of a real estate company Centennial
Lakes Realty, Inc. I just started my own brokerage when my broker retired in MN. I have
worked in Real Estate for 9 years since 1995 part time. During tbis time I have also worked at
Prudential Life Insurance as a licensed service representative until 1999 and at Qwest
Communications until lay off last week I have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration
with a minor in Human Resources and a minor in Safety from the U of Wisconsin - Stout
PersonaIIy, I am married with 2 children and reside in CenterviJle, moving here from
Maplewood. We chose Centerville due to its size convenience to the Metro. I grew up in a town
of 4000 and want my children to enjoy the similar lifestyle that I enjoyed growing up.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding tbis letter, my background
and qualifications. Thank you and have a great day!
RespectfuIIy,
ThomasP. Wood

Subject: Lot split 7334 Brian Drive
Teresa-
Could you forward this onto the Planning and Zoning Committee. Thanks, Paul
I just want the committee and the owner to be aware of several items of concern with the proposed lot split. The
lot currently does not have a stub for water and sewer, these will have to be connected out in the middle of the
street and restored to meet City standards. An escrow to the City would be required for the completion ofthis
work. The proposed house pad is currently in a drainage easement and the driveway will cross the outlet for the
wetland area. Possible the City may want some engineering to ensure proper drainage of this area and culvert
sizing. A more accurate survey needs to be provided to show where the proposed driveway will be situated on
the lot and in relation to the cul-de-sac.

Pennit Application No. 04-098
John Dahl
Based on information from RCWD Permit 98-088, emergency
overflow elevation for the onsite. wetland is 906.7 located north of
the site; however, this elevation is not clearly identified on the
submitted plans. Also, there is no lOO-year flood elevation
established for the onsite wetland. The proposed lOO-year flood
elevation and emergency overflow elevation and route for the
wetland basin north of the driveway are required.
The proposed low floor elevation is 908.0. This.eleVlltion will be
evaluated for compliance with District freeboard requirements once
Pending Item 4 has been addressed.
5. An llCceptable erosion control plan has been submitted including silt
fence downstream of disturbed areas, revegetation specifications and
an implementation schedule.

Permit Application No. 04-098
John Dahl
14. Comment Letter prepared by MN DNR, dated August 30, 2004,
received September 1, 2004.
15. RCWD Permit File 98-088.
Findings:
1. The project entails a lot split on Lot 4, Block 2 (1.901= acres) of The
Woods of Clearwater Creek approved under RCWD Permit 98-088.
2, Runoff from the proposed home would flow over green space before
discharging to DNR Public Waters Wetland 545w (DNR 545w).
Driveway runoff will drain to both DNR 545w and Brian Drive,
which drains to a storrnwater pond constructed as part of RCWD
Permit 98-088. This satisfies District storrnwater management
requirements.
3. . District staff has field verified' existing wetland boundaries as
consistent with the delineation approved under RCWD Peffilit 98-
088. This project proposes filling 1,744 SF (0.04 acres) of Type 6/7
wetland within DNR 545w. This exceeds the deminimis exemption
of 400 SF; therefore, 2: 1 replacement is required per WCA rules.
A wetland replacement plan application and-sequencing narrative
have been submitted, which indicates the Applicant intends ort
purchasing wetland bank credits to provide the required mitigation.
However, justification for purchasing replacement credits in an
adjacent watershed is required. Additionally, the proposed
replacement wetland. to be purchased is "out-of-kind" because it is
not the same wetland type as the impacted wetland (Type 2).
Therefore, the required replacement ratio is 2.25: 1. These comments
must be addressed before proposed wetland banking credits may be
approved to mitigate for the proposed impacts. Proof of purchase of
this wetland bank credit is required (after TEP acceptance of
sequenCing).
4. There is no RCWD lOO-year regulatory flood elevation established
for this site. No floodplain fill is proposed.
The proposed driveway will cross the overland outlet route of the
onsite wetland (DNR 54Sw), which is to be maintained by a culvert
. of unspecified size. The proposed culvert invert elevations are
904.5(8) and 904.2(N), respectively. The profile view of- the
proposed driveway specifies the lowest driveway overtopping.
elevation to be 906.0 and that the existing low point was 904.12.
Identification of the proposed 22 LF CMPdriveway culvert size
(diameter) and hydrologic calculations demonstrating no increase in
100-year flood elevation of the onsite wetland are required.

SAMPLE SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
June 1999
DNR Waters: Shore land Management Program
Department of Natural Resources
I
4t yf
(~
.
Preface
This document is to be used as a guide for the adoption of land use regulations consistent with
statewide standards for ''Management of Shore land Areas", Minnesota Regulations Parts
6120.2500 - 6120.3900, which became effective on July 3, 1989. Respective counties, and select
municipalities for incorporated areas within counties, will be notified in writing by the
Commissioner ofthe Department of Natural Resources if they must adopt these new state
standards. The timeframe for mandatory adoption is within 2 years after notification to adopt.
The sample ordinance that follows includes the full array of zoning and subdivision regulations for
the most complex or all inclusive of shoreland management situations. The sample ordinance is
not intended as free-standing zoning and subdivision code. It could be adopted as a separate
section( s) within a community's existing zoning and subdivision regulations. If a connnunity has
no existing community-wide land use regulations at the time of shoreland ordinance adoption,
then additional administrative and development review processes would have to be established as
explained herein.
It is anticipated that a local government's adopted shoreland ordinance will deviate from this
sample ordinance as the situation warrants. The sample ordinance does provide a framework or
baseline for DNR's review of a local government's adopted shoreland ordinance. If a provision
from the sample ordinance is not included, the Department will look for a reason or justification
for its exclusion. The section of this package which follows, titled "Introduction to Sample
Shoreland Ordinance", identifies those ordinance provisions that are recommended only and many
ofthe reasons or justifications for revising or not including certain provisions.
Townships considering adoption of shoreland regulations should pay special attention to
Appendix A which outlines additional provisions that must be met.
A local government should keep in close contact with their DNR area hydrologist throughout the
ordinance adoption process. The area hydrologist will provide advice and assistance as time
permits and this contact should ensure the DNR's speedy approval of the ordinance at the end of
the adoption process. An "Ordinance Certification Checklist" has been provided in Appendix B
which identifies the key procedural aspects of adoption that the DNR will verifY when receiving a
local government's shore land regulations.
INTRODUCTION TO SAMPLE SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
This introduction is intended as a guide for the use ofthe Department of Natural Resources',
"Sample Shoreland Ordinance", dated January I, 1990. What fonows is not a step-by-step
explanation of the sample ordinance. Local officials will have to use judgement in drafting their
shoreland ordinance, and hopefully after consultation with their DNR area hydrologist.
This sample ordinance is not a free-standing set of zoning and subdivision regulations. It could be
adopted as a separate section(s) of existing zoning and subdivision regulations. The
community/user may find some of the recommended language duplicative or the user may wish to
dissect the sample ordinance for inclusion into the appropriate separate parts of a comprehensive
zoning and subdivision code. The DNR will accept any legitimate ordinance format that contains
the necessary regulatory language.
The format ofthis document is a section-by-section discussion of the sample ordinance. A given
explanation of a section may be brief, advising only whether the provisions are optional or.
mandatory. Other explanations may be lengthy and describe which language is required or how
comprehensive or complex issues are to be handled.
Prior to spending a considerable amount of time on preparing a draft shoreland ordinance, local
officials should contact their area hydrologist for further direction. Questions should be referred to
the community's area hydrologist or to (612) 296-4800.
SECTION 1.0 - STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION AND POLICY
It is recommended that the provisions of Sections 1.1 and 1.2 or similar provisions be included in a
community's zoning controls. This will establish legislative authority and policies for the ordinance
should a later appeal or court action follow. A community may have an existing zoning ordinance
section that deals with statutory authorization and policy, where these statutory and rule citations
and policies could be included.
SECTION 2.0 - GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS
Again, a community with existing community-wide land use regulations probably has most or all of
the provisions in Sections 2.1 - 2.6. Those communities that do not are encouraged to include
these Sections.
The definitions in Section 2.7 are generally the minimum definitions necessary for a compliant
shoreland ordinance. Obviously, a community could amend a definition to make it more
comprehensive/restrictive. A definition may not be necessary if a given feature or land use is not
present in the community or a regulatory option is not to be chosen. For example: I) the
definition of "guest cottage" would not be needed if the community opts to not allow guest
cottages by excluding Section 5.14, C of the sample ordinance (page 19) from their adopted
ordinance; or 2) definitions of certain types of land uses are not necessary (e.g., industrial use,
commercial use, planned unit development, etc.) if they are not an allowable use within shorelands.
The community should be able to explain why a given definition in Section 2.8 is modified or not
included.
SECTION 3.0 - ADMINISTRATION
Essentially, the language in Sections 3.1 - 3.4 must be in a community's shoreland ordinance or
comparable language must be in a community's existing community-wide land use regulations.
Most communities with land use regulations will likely already require permits (Section 3.11),
certificates of zoning compliance (Section 3.2), and include guidance language on the issuance of
variances (Section 3.31). Adjustments to existing sections of community-wide regulations will be
necessary if specific shoreland issues are not adequately covered.
The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Waters has suggested "forms" for building
permit applications, issuance of permits, conditional uses, and variances, and certification of fina1
construction. These forms are available upon request.
For Section 3.3, a zoning ordinance is not legally enforceable unless the community has formally
established a board of adjustment. The Department of Natural Resources has developed
recommended lailguage to establish a board of adjustment and the procedures for conduct of
business of the board should this be necessary. When a community grants a variance that the DNR
recommended be denied in the hearing record, the community is strongly encouraged to include
the optional language in Section 3.32, which states:
I) When a variance is approved after the Department of Natural Resources has formally
recommended denial in the hearing record, the notification ofthe approved variance required in
Section 3.42 below shall also include the board of adjustment's summary of the public
record/testimony and the findings off acts and conclusions which supported the issuance of the
variance. "
This enables the DNR to provide a more timely decision to the permittee as to whether the
Department will appeal the decision of the community.
SECTION 4.0
Section 4.1 - Shoreland Classifications:
A shoreland ordinance must list the qualifying public waterbodies and the corresponding shoreland
management classification scheme for these public waters. Communities need to: 1) list the public
waterbodies meeting the size criterion of Minnesota Regulations, Part 6120.2500, Subp. 13, in the
text of the ordinance; and 2) speciry the appropriate lake or river classification for these
waterbodies and the (legal) description of the upper and lower boundary of each river
classification. .
Communities are also strongly encouraged to identiry shoreland classifications on their official
zoning map and to delineate the landward extent of the shoreland district as accurately as possible.
This is an eligible item for ordinance adoption assistance under the DNR's Shoreland Grant
Program. In no case should a community state in the text of the ordinance that they will do this
delineation and then not follow through and show the shoreland district boundary on the official
zoning map. A copy of a corrununity's official zoning map must accompany a shoreland ordinance
text that is submitted to DNR for approval.
The DNR's area hydrologists have listings and/or maps for each community showing (preliminary)
lake and river classifications. For outstanding recreational rivers, area hydrologists have
preliminary classification maps and tables for the 5 specific river classifications above ("Remote"
through "Urban") which identifY the legal descriptions of the river classification boundaries.
Protected waters inventory (PWI) maps for the respective county are available from the area
hydrologist and can be used to identifY the remaining "Tnbutary" river and stream reaches in the
corrununity. Local governments may consider adopting these additional documents by reference
into their shoreland ordinance if these documents are properly dated, labelled, and signed.
Section 4.2 - Land Use District Designations:
Communities are encouraged to demonstrate at the time of shoreland ordinance adoption that the
categories of land use districts in the zoning ordinance text (and their designation on the official
zoning map) meet state standards. These land use district designations could have been developed
in a section of the ordinance devoted specifically to shorelands, or the community could
demonstrate that its existing community-wide land use district designations as applied to
shorelands already meet the intent of state shoreland management standards. In detennining
compliance with state standards, the following provisions of Minnesota Regulations, Part
6120.3100, must be satisfied:
1. The management of areas unsuitable for development due to wet soils, steep slopes,
flooding, inadequate drainage, severe erosion potential, presence of significant historic sites, or any
other feature likely to be hannful to the health, safety, or welfare of the residents of the
community.
2. The reservation of areas suitable for residential development from encroachment by
commercial and industrial uses.
3. The centralization of service facilities for residential areas and enhancement of economic
growth for those areas suitable for limited commercial development.
4. The management of areas for commercial or industrial uses which, by their nature, require
location in shore land areas.
5. The protection of valuable agricultural lands from conversion to other uses.
6. The preservation and enhancement of the quality of water- based recreational use of public
waters including provisions for public accesses.
Generally, the Department of Natural Resources will accept existing or proposed land use district
designations in the zoning ordinance text and on the official zoning map as "substantially
compliant" if the local unit of government demonstrates the following compliance findings:
Compliance Findings:
The Community has an up-to-date comprehensive land use plan with a water resource
element and/or a separate local water plan (updating a community's comprehensive land use plan
for shoreland considerations is an eligible item for cost-sharing under DNR's Shoreland Grant
Program);
The community, via an official resolution of the government body, makes a specific finding
that the goals, policies, and objectives of the comprehensive plan/local water plan and the 6
provisions noted above have been satisfied; and
A public hearing(s) has been held and adequate investigations conducted to insure against
incompatibility of land uses, both within existing land use districts or by land uses in adjacent land
use districts.
The Department of Natural Resources will request a community to justifY land use districts that are
not substantially compatible with state standards via the "implementation flexibility" language in
Minnesota Regulations, Part 6120.2800, Subp. 3. While "substantial noncompliance" is
judgementa~ the DNR would question the following types of land use district regulations:
There is a mixture ofland uses within a given land use district that are incompatible with
each other (e.g., commercial use in a single residential district, commercial use in a special
protection district, etc.);
Not requiring a conditional use permit for a given land use where this is required by state
standards and is necessary to properly review and approve the development;
Allowing a land use inconsistent with a waterbody's classification; or
Having the intensity of a land use, and not the land use type itself, be inconsistent with the
land use district (e.g., mixing "single residential" and "high density residential" in the same district).
Section 4.23 - Inconsistent Land Use Districts:
Communities that do not demonstrate compliance oftheir existing land use districts must include
Section 4.23 of this sample ordinance. Communities can continue to enforce their inconsistent
land use districts, but the community must include a section similar to Section 4.2 of the sample
ordinance with compliant land uses which will be used for the long-term upgrading of these
inconsistent land use district regulations.
l
SECTION 5.0 - ZONING AND WATER SUPPLY/SANITARY PROVISIONS
Sections 5.1 - 5.5:
Sections 5.1 - 5.5 contain the setback, design, and other perfonnance standards generic to most
shoreland development. Most communities will adopt the categories of provisions in Sections 5.1-
5.5. Certain provisions can be deleted if they do not apply to a community (e.g., certain lake or
river classifications not present, no unsewered areas, etc.). Further, certain provisions are optional
and need not be included (e.g., Sections 5.14, c. and d.) ifa development option is not included.
Please note that the provisions for "height of structures" in Section 5.23 are applicable to
incorporated areas only.
Section 5.6:
Communities will only include provisions similar to Section 5.6 if these types ofland uses are
allowable within the community. If any of the use provisions in Section 5.6 are not included, then
the respective land uses cannot be an allowable use in the land use district tables in Section 4.0.
Section 5.7 - Conditional Uses:
The sample ordinance assumes communities have established procedures in their comprehensive
zoning regulations for processing, reviewing and granting conditional use applications. The
provisions of Section 5.7 must be added for shoreland areas only.
Section 5.8 - Water Supply and Sewage Treatment:
This is the minimal acceptable language for shoreland areas. Local governments may choose to
adopt their own comprehensive sewage treatment code in lieu of adopting MPCA's Chapter 7080
by reference. This code would have to be as restrictive or more restrictive than Chapter 7080.
Communities adopting their own comprehensive sewage treatment system code must submit this
code to DNR at least 60-days in advance of submitting their shoreland ordinance to DNR for
approval. This 60-day period is necessary for the MPCA to review and approve the community's
sewage code as meeting state standards in Chapter 7080.
SECTION 6.0 - NONCONFORMITIES
Communities must include Sections 6.11 and 6.12 unless they can demonstrate that they have no
nonconforming, undeveloped lots of record and no nonconforming structures, respectively. A
structure is a nonconforming structure if it does not meet the placement, design or height criteria
of Section 5.0 of the sample ordinance.
Section 6.13 is mandatory if a community has on-site sewage treatment systems. Local
governments must develop and implement programs to identify and upgrade sewage. treatment
systems that do not meet proper design criteria. In addition to requiring reconstruction when
permits or variances are issued, a local program must implement one of the following approaches
to upgrading nonconforming systems:
1. 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 shoreland 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 - SUBDIVlSION/PLATTING PROVISIONS
A community must adopt, at a minimum, the subdivision and platting provisions ofthis 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 shoreland 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 shoreland
regulations, PUD approval would be the sole responsibility of the 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.

SAMPLE SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE
SECTION 1.0 - STATIITORY AUTHORIZATION AND POLICY
1.1 Statutory Authorization
This shoreland ordinance is adopted pursuant to the authorization and policies contained in
Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 105, Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 - 6120.3900, and the
. planning and zoning enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 394 (for counties) or
Chapter 462 (for municipalities).
1.2 Po Iicy
The uncontrolled use of shore lands of (the Community of) , Minnesota
affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public
waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public
health, safety and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands
of public waters. The Legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments
ofthe state .to regulate the subdivision, use and development of the shorelands of public waters and
thus preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural
environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land
resources. This responsibility is hereby recognized by (the Community of)

classified in Section 4.0 of this ordinance. Pursuant to Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 -
6120.3900, no lake, pond, or flowage less than 10 acres in size in municipalities or 25 acres in size
in unincorporated areas need be regulated in a local government's shoreland regulations. A body
of water created by a private user where there was no previous shore land may, at the discretion of
the governing body, be exempt from this ordinance.
2.2 Compliance
The use of any shoreland of public waters; the size and shape of lots; the use, size, type and
location of structures on lots; the installation and maintenance of water supply and waste treatment
systems, the grading and filling of any shoreland area; the cutting of shoreland vegetation; and the
subdivision of land shall be in full compliance with the terms of this ordinance and other applicable
regulations.
2.3 Enforcement
The (local government or designated official) is responsible for the
administration and enforcement of this ordinance. Any violation of the provisions of this ordinance
or failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards
established in connection with grants of variances or conditional uses) shall constitute a
misdemeanor and shall be punishable as defined by law. Violations of this ordinance can occur
regardless of whether or not a permit is required for a regulated activity pursuant to Section 3.1 of
this ordinance.
2.4 Interpretation
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this ordinance shall be held to be minimum
requirements and shall be hberally construed in favor of the governing body and shall not be
deemed a limitation or repeal of any other powers granted by State Statutes.

stream, whichever is greater. The limits of shorelands may be reduced whenever the waters
involved are bounded by topographic divides which extend landward from the waters for lesser
distances and when approved by the commissioner.
2.745 Significant historic site. "Significant historic site" means any archaeological site, standing
structure, or other property that meets the criteria for eligibility to the National Register of Historic
Places or is listed in the State Register of Historic Sites, or is determined to be an unplatted
cemetery that falls under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, section 307.08. A historic site
meets these criteria if it is presently listed on either register or if it is determined to meet the

,Examples of such structures and facilities include boathouses, gazebos, screen houses, fish houses,
pump houses, and detached decks.
2.754 Wetland. "Wetland" means a surface water feature classified as a wetland in the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service Circular No. 39 (1971 edition).
SECTION 3.0 - ADMINISTRATION
3.1 Permits Required
3.11 A permit is required for the construction of buildings or building additions (and including
such related activities as construction of decks and signs), the installation and/or alteration of
sewage treatment systems, and those grading and filling activities not exempted by Section 5.3 of
this ordinance. Application for a permit shall be made to the (designated official)
on the forms provided. The application shall include the necessary
information so that the (designated official) can determine the site's
suitability for the intended use and that a compliant sewage treatment system will be provided.
3.12 A permit authorizing an addition to an existing structure shall stipulate that an identified
nonconforming sewage treatment system, as defined by Section 5.8, shall be reconstructed or
replaced in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.
3.2 Certificate of Zoning Compliance
The (designated official) shall issue a certificate of zoning compliance for
each activity requiring a permit as specified in Section 3.1 of this ordinance. This certificate will
specifY that the use ofland conforms to the requirements of this ordinance. Any use, arrangement,
or construction at variance with that authorized by permit shall be deemed a violation of this
ordinance and shall be punishable as provided in Section 2.3 of this ordinance.
3 .3 Variances
3.31 Variances may only be granted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 394 (for
counties) or 462 (for municipalities), as applicable. A variance may not circumvent the general
purposes and intent of this ordinance. No variance may be granted that would allow any use that is
prohibited in the zoning district in which the subject property is located. Conditions may be
imposed in the granting of a variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent properties and
the public interest. In considering a variance request, the board of adjustment must also consider
whether the property owner has reasonable use of the land without the variance, whether the
property is used seasonally or year-round, whether the variance is being requested solely on the
basis of economic considerations, and the characteristics of development on adjacent properties.
3.32 The board of adjustment shall hear and decide requests for variances in accordance with the
rules that it has adopted for the conduct of business. When a variance is approved after the
Department of Natural Resources has formally recommended denial in the hearing record, the
notification of the approved variance required in Section 3.42 below shall also include the board of
adjustment's summary ofthe public record/testimony and the findings of facts and conclusions
which supported the issuance of the variance.
3.33 For existing developments, the application for variance must clearly demonstrate whether a
conforming sewage treatment system is present for the intended use ofthe property. The variance,
if issued, must require reconstruction of a nonconforming sewage treatment system.
3.4 Notifications to the Department of Natural Resources
3.41 Copies of all notices of any public hearings to consider variances, amendments, or
conditional uses under local shoreland management controls must be sent to the commissioner or
the commissioner's designated representative and postmarked at least ten days before the hearings.

4.23 Use and Upgrading of Inconsistent Land Use Districts.
A. The land use districts adopted in Ordinance Number ----> Section _, as they apply
to shoreland areas, and their delineated boundaries on the Official Zoning Map, are not consistent
with the land use district designation criteria specified in Section 4.22 herein. These inconsistent
land use district designations may continue until revisions are proposed to change either the land
use district designation within an existing land use district boundary shown on the Official Zoning
Map or to modifY the boundary of an existing land use district shown on the Official Zoning Map.
B. When a revision is proposed to an inconsistent land use district provision, the following
additional criteria and procedures shall apply:
(1) For Lakes. When a revision to a land use district designation on a lake is considered, the
land use district boundaries and use provisions therein for all the shoreland areas within the
jurisdiction of this ordinance on said lake must be revised to make them substantially compatible
with the framework in Sections 4.21 and 4.22 of this ordinance.
(2) For Rivers and Streams. When a revision to a land use district designation on a river or
stream is proposed, the land use district boundaries and the use provisions therein for all
shoreland on both sides ofthe river or stream within the same classification within the jurisdiction
of this ordinance must be revised to make them substantially compatible with the framework in
Sections 4.21 and 4.22 of this ordinance. If the same river classification is contiguous for more
than a five-mile segment, only the shoreland for a distance of2.5 miles upstream and downstream,
or to the class boundary if closer, need be evaluated and revised.
C. When an interpretation question arises about whether a specific land use fits within a given
"use" category, the interpretation shall be made by the Board of Adjustment. When a question
arises as to whether a land use district's boundaries are properly delineated on the Official Zoning
Map, this decision shall be made by the (governing body).
D. When a revision is proposed to an inconsistent land use district provision by an individual
party or landowner, this individual party or landowner will only be responsible to provide the
supporting and/or substantiating information for the specific parcel in question. The
(governing body) will direct the (designated official)
to provide such additional information for this waterbody as is necessary to satis/)' Items A and B.
E. The (governing body) must make a detailed finding of fact and
conclusion when taking final action that this revision, and the upgrading of any inconsistent land
use district designations on said waterbody, are consistent with the enumerated criteria and use
provisions of Section 4.2.

5.14 Additional Special Provisions.
A. Residential subdivisions with dwelling unit densities exceeding those in the tables in
Sections 5.12 and 5.13 can only be allowed if designed and approved as residential planned unit
developments under Section 8.0 of this ordinance. Only land above the ordinary high water level
of public waters can be used to meet lot area standards, and lot width standards must be met at
both the ordinary high water level and at the building line. The sewer lot area dimensions in
Section 5.12 can only be used ifpublicly owned sewer system service is available to the property.
B. Subdivisions of duplexes, triplexes, and quads on Natural Environment Lakes must also
meet the following standards:
(1) each building must be set back at least 200 feet from the ordinary high water level;
(2) each building must have common sewage treatment and water systems in one
location and serve all dwelling units in the building;
(3) watercraft docking facilities for each lot must be centralized in one location and
serve all dwelling units in the building; and
(4) no more than 25 percent ofa lake's shoreline can be in duplex, triplex, or quad
developments.
C. One guest cottage may be allowed on lots meeting or exceeding the duplex lot area and
width dimensions presented in Section 5.11-5.13, provided the following
standards are met:
(1) for lots exceeding the minimum lot dimensions of duplex lots, the guest cottage
must be located within the smallest duplex-sized lot that could be created including
the principal dwelling unit;
(2) a guest cottage must not cover more than 700 square feet ofland surface and must
not exceed 15 feet in height; and
(3) a guest cottage must be located or designed to reduce its visibility as viewed from
public waters and adjacent shore lands by vegetation, topography, increased
setbacks or color, assuming summer leaf-on conditions.
D. Lots intended as controlled accesses to public waters or as recreation areas for use by
owners of nonriparian lots within subdivisions are permissible and must meet or
exceed the following standards:
(1) they must meet the width and size requirements for residential lots, and be suitable
for the intended uses of controlled access lots.
(2) If docking, mooring, or over-water storage of more than six (6) watercraft is to be
allowed at a controlled access lot, then the width of the lot (keeping the same lot
depth) must be increased by the percent of the requirements for riparian residential
lots for each watercraft beyond six, consistent with the following table:
Controlled Access Lot Frontage Requirements

(3) they must be jointly owned by all purchasers ofIots in the subdivision or by all
purchasers of nonriparian lots in the subdivision who are provided riparian access
rights on the access lot; and
(4) covenants or other equally effective legal instruments must be developed that
specifY which lot owners have authority to use the access lot and what activities
are allowed. The activities may include watercraft launching, loading, storage,
beaching, mooring, or docking. They must also include other outdoor recreational
activities that do not significantly conflict with general public use ofthe public
water or the enjoyment of normal property rights by adjacent property owners.
Examples ofthe nonsignificant conflict activities include swimming, sunbathing, or
picnicking. The covenants must limit the total number of vehicles allowed to be
parked and the total number of watercraft allowed to be continuously moored,
docked, or stored over water, and must require centralization of all common
facilities and activities in the most suitable locations on the lot to minimize
topographic and vegetation alterations. They must also require all parking areas,
storage buildings, and other facilities to be screened by vegetation or topography
as much as practical from view from the public water, assuming summer, leaf-on
conditions.
5.2 Placement, Design, and Height of Structures.
5.21 Placement of Structures on Lots. When more than one setback applies to a site, structures
and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Where structures exist on the adjoining lots on
both sides of a proposed building site, structure setbacks may be altered without a variance to
conform to the adjoining setbacks from the ordinary high water level, provided the proposed
building site is not located in a shore impact zone or in a bluff impact zone. Structures shall be
located as follows.

C. Bluff Impact Zones. Structures and accessory facilities, except stairways and landings,
must not be placed within bluff impact zones.
D. Uses Without Water-oriented Needs. Uses without water-oriented needs must be located
on lots or parcels without public waters frontage, or, iflocated on lots or parcels with
public waters frontage, must either be set back double the normal ordinary high water
level setback or be substantially screened from view from the water by vegetation or
topography, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions.
5.22 Design Criteria For Structures.
A. High Water Elevations. Structures must be placed in accordance with any floodplain
regulations applicable to the site. Where these controls do not exist, the elevation to
which the lowest floor, including basement, is placed or flood-proofed must be determined
as follows:
(l) for lakes, by placing the lowest floor at a level at least three feet above the highest
known water level, or three feet above the ordinary high water level, whichever is
higher;
(2) for rivers and streams, by placing the lowest floor at least three feet above the.
flood of record, if data are available. If data are not available, by placing the
lowest floor at least three feet above the ordinary high water level, or by
conducting a technical evaluation to determine effects of proposed construction
upon flood stages and flood flows and to establish a flood protection elevation.
Under all three approaches, technical evaluations must be done by a qualified
engineer or hydrologist consistent with parts 6120.5000 to 6120.6200 governing
the management of flood plain areas. If more than one approach is used, the
highest flood protection elevation determined must be used for placing structures
and other facilities; and
(3) water-oriented accessory structures may have the lowest floor placed lower than
the elevation determined in this item if the structure is constructed of
flood-resistant materials to the elevation, electrical and mechanical equipment is
placed above the elevation and, iflong duration flooding is anticipated, the
structure is built to withstand ice action and wind-driven waves and debris.
B. Water-oriented Accessory Structures. Each lot may have one water-oriented accessory
structure not meeting the normal structure setback in Section 5.21 of this ordinance if this
water-oriented accessory structure complies with the following provisions:
(1) the structure or facility must not exceed ten feet in height, exclusive of safety rails,
and cannot occupy an area greater than 250 square feet. Detached decks must not
exceed eight feet above grade at any point;
(2) the setback of the structure or facility from the ordinary high water level must be at
least ten feet;
(3) the structure or facility must be treated to reduce visibility as viewed from public
waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks or
color, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions;
(4) the roof may be used as a deck with safety rails, but must not be enclosed or used
as a storage area;
(5) the structure or facility must not be designed or used for human habitation and
must not contain water supply or sewage treatment facilities; and
(6) as an alternative for general development and recreational development
waterbodies, water-oriented accessory structures used solely for watercraft
storage, and including storage of related boating and water-oriented sporting
equipment, may occupy an area up to 400 square feet provided the maximum
width of the structure is 20 feet as measured parallel to the configuration of the
shoreline.
C. Stairways, Lifts, and Landings. Stairways and lifts are the preferred alternative to major
topographic aherations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep slopes to shore
areas. Stairways and lifts must meet the following design requirements:
(I) stairways and lifts must not exceed four feet in width on residential lots. Wider
stairways may be used for commercial properties, public open-space recreational
properties, and planned unit developments;
(2) landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots must not exceed 32 square feet in
area. Landings larger than 32 square feet may be used for commercial properties,
public open-space recreational properties, and planned unit developments;
(3) canopies or roofs are not allowed on stairways, lifts, or landings;
(4) stairways, lifts, and landings may be either constructed above the ground on posts
or pilings, or placed into the ground, provided they are designed and built in a
manner that ensures control of soil erosion;
(5) stairways, lifts, and landings must be located in the most visually inconspicuous.
portions oflots, as viewed from the surface of the public water assuming summer,
leaf-on conditions, whenever practical; and
(6) facilities such as ramps, lifts, or mobility paths for physically handicapped persons
are also allowed for achieving access to shore areas, provided that the dimensional
and performance standards of sub items (1) to (5) are complied with in addition to
1-------
the requirements of Minnesota Regulations, Chapter 1340.
D. Significant Historic Sites. No structure may be placed on a significant historic site in a
manner that affects the values of the site unless adequate information about the site has
been removed and documented in a public repository.
E. Steep Slopes. The (designed official) must evaluate possible soil
erosion impacts and development visibility from public waters before issuing a permit for
construction of sewage treatment systems, roads, driveways, structures, or other
improvements on steep slopes. When determined necessary, conditions must be attached
to issued permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of
structures, vehicles, and other facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters,
assuming summer, leaf-on vegetation.
5.23 Height of Structures. All structures in residential districts, except churches and
nonresidential agricultural structures, must not exceed 25 feet in height.
5.3 Shoreland Alterations
Alterations of vegetation and topography will be regulated to prevent erosion into public waters,
fix nutrients, preserve shoreland aesthetics, preserve historic values, prevent bank slumping, and
protect fish and wildlife habitat.
5 .31 Vegetation Alterations.
A. Vegetation aheration necessary for the construction of structures and sewage treatment
systems and the construction of roads and parking areas regulated by Section 5.4 ofthis
ordinance are exempt from the vegetation aheration standards that follow.
B. Removal or aheration of vegetation, except for agricultural and forest management uses as
regulated in Sections 5.62 and 5.63, respectfully, is allowed subject to the following
standards:
(1) Intensive vegetation clearing within the shore and bluff impact zones and on steep
slopes is not allowed. Intensive vegetation clearing for furest land conversion to
another use outside of these areas is allowable as a conditional use if an erosion
control and sedimentation plan is developed and approved by the soil and water
conservation district in which the property is located.
(2) In shore and bluff impact zones and on steep slopes, limited clearing of trees and
shrubs and cutting, pruning, and trimming of trees is allowed to provide a view to
the water from the principal dwelling site and to accommodate the placement of
stairways and landings, picnic areas, access paths, livestock watering areas, beach
and watercraft access areas, and permitted water-oriented accessory structures or
facilities, provided that:
(a) the screening of structures, vehicles, or other facilities as viewed from the
water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, is not substantially reduced;
(b) along rivers, existing shading of water surfaces is preserved; and
(c) the above provisions are not applicable to the removal of trees, limbs, or
branches that are dead, diseased, or pose safety hazards.
5.32 Topographic Alterations/Grading and Filling.
A. Grading and filling and excavations necessary for the construction of structures, sewage
treatment systems, and driveways under validly issued construction permits for these
facilities do not require the issuance of a separate grading and filling permit. However, the
grading and filling standards in this Section must be incorporated into the issuance of
permits for construction of structures, sewage treatment systems, and driveways.
B. Public roads and parking areas are regulated by Section 5.4 ofthis ordinance.
C. Notwithstanding Items A. and B. above, a grading and filling permit will be required for:
(1) the movement of more than ten (10) cubic yards of material on steep slopes or
within shore or bluff impact zones; and
(2) the movement of more than 50 cubic yards of material outside of steep slopes and
shore and bluff impact zones.
D. Tbe following considerations and conditions must be adhered to during the issuance of
construction permits, grading and filling permits, conditional use permits, variances and
subdivision approvals:
(I) Grading or filling in any type 2, 3, 4,5,6,7, or 8 wetland must be evaluated to
determine how extensively the proposed activity would affect the following
functional qualities of the wetland*:
(a) sediment and pollutant trapping and retention;
(b) storage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage;
(c) fish and wildlife habitat;
(d) recreational use;
( e) shoreline or bank stabilization; and
(f) noteworthiness, including special qualities such as historic signficance,
critical habitat fur endangered plants and animals, or others.
*This evaluation must also include a determination of whether the wetland
alteration being proposed requires permits, reviews, or approvals by other locaL
state, or federal agencies such as a watershed district, the Minnesota Department
of Natural Resources, or the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Tbe
I~__m
applicant will be so advised.
(2) Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures only the
smallest amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time possible;
(3) Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for temporary bare
soil coverage, and a permanent vegetation cover must be established as soon as
possible;
(4) Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they reach any
surface water feature must be used;
(5) Altered areas must be stabilized to acceptable erosion control standards consistent
with the field office technical guides ofthe local soil and water conservation
districts and the United States Soil Conservation Service;
(6) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in a manner that creates an unstable
slope;
(7) Plans to place fill or excavated material on steep slopes must be reviewed by
qualified professionals for continued slope stability and must not create finished
slopes 000 percent or greater;
(8) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones;
(9) Any aherations below the ordinary high water level of public waters must first be
authorized by the commissioner under Minnesota Statutes, section 105.42;
(10) Alterations of topography must only be allowed if they are accessory to permitted
or conditional uses and do not adversely affect adjacent or nearby properties; and
(II) Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading of the shoreline and
placement of a fiher blanket, is permitted if the finished slope does not exceed

alterations and additions, repair after damage, discontinuance of use, and intensification of use; except that
the following standards will also apply in shore land areas:
6.1 Construction on nonconforming lots of record.
A. Lots of record in the office of the county recorder on the date of enactment of local
shoreland controls that do not meet the requirements of Section 5.1 of this ordinance may
be allowed as building sites without variances from lot size requirements provided the use
is permitted in the zoning district, the lot has been in separate ownership from abutting

for any improvement on, or use of; the property. For the purposes ofthis provision, a
sewage treatment system shall not be considered nonconforming if the only deficiency is
the sewage treatment system's improper setback from the ordinary high water level. .
B. The governing body of ( community name) has by formal
resolution notified the commissioner of its program to identifY nonconforming sewage
treatment systems. The ( community name) will require
upgrading or replacement of any nonconforming system identified by this program within
a reasonable period of time which will not exceed 2-years. Sewage systems installed
according to all applicable local shoreland management standards adopted under
Minnesota Statutes, section 105.485, in effect at the time of installation may be considered
as conforming unless they are determined to be failing, except that systems using
cesspools, leaching pits, seepage pits, or other deep disposal methods, or systems with less
soil treatment area separation above groundwater than required by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency's Chapter 7080 for design of on-site sewage treatment systems,

subdivision.
7.16 Controlled Access or Recreational Lots. Lots intended as controlled accesses to public
waters or for recreational use areas for use by nonriparian lots within a subdivision must meet or
exceed the sizing criteria in Section 5.14 of this ordinance.
- PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS (PUD's)
8.1 Types ofPUD's Permissible
Planned unit developments (PUD's) are allowed for new projects on undeveloped land,
redevelopment of previously built sites, or conversions of existing buildings and land. The land
use districts in which they are an allowable use are identified in the land use district descriptions in
Section 4.2 of this ordinance and the official zoning map.
8.2 Processing ofPUD's
Planned unit developments must be processed as a conditional use, except that an expansion to an
existing commercial PUD involving 6 or less new dwelling units or sites since the date this
ordinance was adopted is permissible as a permitted use provided the total project density does
not exceed the allowable densities calculated in the project density evaluation procedures in
Section 8.5. Approval cannot occur until the environmental review process (EA W lEIS) is
complete.
8.3 Application for a PUD
The applicant for a PUD must submit the following documents prior to final action being taken on
the application request:
8.3 I A site plan and/or plat for the project showing locations of property boundaries, surface
water features, existing and proposed structures and other fucilities, land alterations, sewage
treatment and water supply systems (where public systems will not be provided), and topographic
contours at ten-foot intervals or less. When a PUD is a combined commercial and residential
development, the site plan and/or plat must indicate and distinguish which buildings and portions
of the project are residentia~ commercia~ or a combination of the two.

8.35 Those additional documents as requested by the (designated
officiaVbody) that are necessary to explain how the PUD will be designed and will function.
8.4 Site "Suitable Area" Evaluation
Proposed new or expansions to existing planned unit developments must be evaluated using the
following procedures and standards to determine the suitable area for the dwelling unit/dwelling
site density evaluation in Section 8.5.
8.41 The project parcel must be divided into tiers by locating one or more lines approximately
parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level at the following interVals, proceeding
landward:
Shoreland Tier Dimensions

8.42 The suitable area within each tier is next calculated by excluding from the tier area all
wetlands, bluffs, or land below the ordinary high water level of public waters. This suitable area
and the proposed project are then subjected to either the residential or commercial planned unit
development density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units or sites.
8.5 Residential and Commercial PUD Density Evaluation
The procedures for determining the "base" density of a PUD and density increase multipliers are
as follows. Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any other tier further from the
waterbody, but"mustfiot be transferred to any other tier closer.
8.51 Residential PUD "Base" Density Evaluation:
A. The suitable area within each tier is divided by the single residential lot size standard for
lakes or, for rivers, the single residential lot width standard times the tier depth, unless the
local unit of government has specified an alternative minimum lot size for rivers which
shall then be used to yield a base density of dwelling units or sites for each tier. Proposed
locations and numbers of dwelling units or sites for the residential planned unit
developments are then compared with the tier, density, and suitability analyses herein and
the design criteria in Section 8.6
8.52 Commercial PUD "Base" Density Evaluation:
A. Determine the average inside living area size of dwelling units or sites within each tier,
including both existing and proposed units and sites. Computation of inside living area
sizes need not include decks, patios, stoops, steps, garages, or porches and basements,
unless they are habitable space.
B. Select the appropriate floor area ratio from the following table:

*For average unit floor areas less than shown, use the floor area ratios listed for 200 square feet. For
areas greater than shown, use the ratios listed for 1,500 square feet. For recreational camping areas, use
the ratios listed at 400 square feet. Manufactured home sites in recreational camping areas shall use a
ratio equal to the size of the manufactured home, or ifunknown, the ratio listed for 1,000 square feet.
C. Muhiply the suitable area within each tier by the floor area ratio to yield total floor area
for each tier allowed to be used for dwelling units or sites.
D. Divide the total floor area by tier computed in Item C. above by the average inside living
area size deteimined in Item A. above. This yields a base number of dwelling units and
sites for each tier.
E. Proposed locations and numbers of dwelling units or sites for the commercial planned unit
development are then compared with the tier, density and suitability analyses herein and
the design criteria in Section 8.6.
8.53 Density Increase Multipliers:
A. Increases to the dwelling unit or dwelling site base densities previously determined are
allowable if the dimensional standards in Section 5.0 are met or exceeded and the design
criteria in Section 8.6 are satisfied. The allowable density increases in Item B. below will
only be allowed if structure setbacks from the ordinary high water level are increased to at
least 50 percent greater than the minimum setback, or the impact on the waterbody is
reduced an equivalent amount through vegetative management, topography, or additional
means acceptable to the local unit of government and the setback is at least 25 percent
greater than the minimum setback.

continued existence and functioning ofthe development.
B. Open space preservation. Deed restrictions, covenants, permanent easements, public
dedication and acceptance, or other equally effective and permanent means must be
provided to ensure long-term preservation and maintenance of open space. The
instruments must include all ofthe following protections:
(1) commercial uses prohibited (for residential PUD's);
(2) vegetation and topographic alterations other than routine maintenance
prolnbited;
(3) construction of additional buildings or storage of vehicles and other materials
prolnbited; and
(4) uncontrolled beaching of watercraft prolnbited.
c. Development organization and functioning. Unless an equally effective ahernative
community framework is established, when applicable, all residential planned unit
developments must use an owners association with the following features:

parking areas, or structures, except water-oriented accessory structures or
facilities, are developed areas and shall not be included in the computation of
minimum open space;
open space must include areas with physical characteristics unsuitable for
development in their natural state, and areas containing significant historic sites or
unplatted cemeteries;
open space may include outdoor recreational facilities for use by owners of
dwelling units or sites, by guests staying in commerical dwelling units or sites, and

exceed design standards contained in Section 5.2 of this ordinance and are
centralized.
8.7 Conversions
Local govennnents may allow existing resorts or other land uses and facilities to be converted to
residential planned unit developments if all of the following standards are met:
8.71 Proposed conversions must be initially evaluated using the same procedures for residential
planned unit developments involving all new construction. Inconsistencies between existing
features ofthe development and these standards must be identified.
8.72 Deficiencies involving water supply and sewage treatment, structure color, impervious
coverage, open space, and shore recreation facilities must be corrected as part ofthe conversion
or as specified in the conditional use permit.
8.73 Shore and bluff impact zone deficiencies must be evaluated and reasonable improvements
made as part of the conversion. These improvements must include, where applicable, the
following:
(1) removal of extraneous buildings, docks, or other facilities that no longer need to be
located in shore or bluff impact zones;
(2) remedial measures to correct erosion sites and improve vegetative cover and
screening of buildings and other facilities as viewed from the water; and
(3) if existing dwelling units are located in shore or bluff impact zones, conditions are
attached to approvals of conversions that preclude exterior expansions in any
dimension or substantial alterations. The conditions must also provide for future
relocation of dwelling units, where feasible, to other locations, meeting all setback
and elevation requirements when they are rebuilt or replaced.
8.74 Existing dwelling unit or dwelling site densities that exceed standards in Section 8.5 may be
allowed to continue but must not be allowed to be increased, either at the time of conversion or in
the future. Efforts must be made during the conversion to limit impacts of high densities by
requiring seasonal use, improving vegetative screening, centralizing shore recreation facilities,
installing new sewage treatment systems, or other means.
APPENDIX A
CONSIDERATIONS FOR TOWNSHIP ZONING
Townships may adopt shoreland management controls under authority of Minnesota Statutes,
section 394.33, subdivisiori 1, if the controls are not inconsistent with or less restrictive than the
controls adopted by the county in which the township is located. This must be accomplished in
accordance with the following conditions:
-For the purposes of Minnesota Regulations, Parts 6120.2500 to 6120.3900, shoreland
management contro Is adopted by townships will only be considered to be consistent with
county controls if they cover the same full range of shoreland management provisions
covered by the county controls, contain dimensional standards at least as restrictive as
those in the county controls, and do not allow land uses in particular areas that are not
allowed Wider the county's official controls.
-The township must demonstrate to the county board that their proposed ordinance and
administration is at least as restrictive as the county's prior to final adoption by the
township. This will include, at a minimum, that the township has the staff necessary to
administer the ordinance, has sufficient building permit application and certification forms
and procedures, and an enforcement mechanism to enforce the ordinance:should violations
occur.
-Townships must provide for administration and enforcement of shoreland management
controls at least as effective as county implementation. Townships that adopt shoreland
controls must provide the notifications in Section 3.4 ofthe sample ordinance to the
Commissioner or the Commissioner's designee and to the zoning official of the county.
-After adequate shoreland management controls are adopted by a township, property
owners must only obtain necessary permits and approvals as required in the township
shoreland management controls. Property owners do not have to obtain similar permits or
approvals under the county's shoreland controls.
The Commissioner ofthe Department of Natural Resources must also approve a township's
shoreland ordinance. The DNR and the respective county should work together to make a joint
determination as to whether the township's ordinance is in compliaoce with state and county
standards.

(for counties) or 462 (for municipalities), as applicable. A variance may not
circumvent the general purposes and intent of this ordinance. No variance may be
granted that would allow any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which
the subject property is located. Conditions may be imposed in the granting of a
variance to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent properties and the public
interest. In considering a variance request, the board of adjustment must also
consider whether the property owner has reasonable use of the land without the
variance, whether the property is used seasonaHy or year-round, whether the
variance is being requested solely on the basis of economic considerations, and the
characteristics of development on adjacent properties.

approved after the Department of Natural Resources has formally recommended
denial in the hearing record, the notification of the approved variance required in
Section 3.42 below shaH also include the board of adjustment's summary of the
public record/testimony and the findings of facts and conclusions which supported
the issuance of the variance.
3.33 For existing developments, the application for variance must clearly demonstrate
whether a conforming sewage treatment system is present for the intended use of
the property. The variance, if issued, must require reconstruction of a
nonconforming sewage treatment system. .
3.4 Notifications to the Department of Natural Resources
3.41 Copies of all notices of any public hearings to consider variances, amendments, or
conditional uses under local shoreland management controls must be sent to the

4.23 Use and Upgrading of Inconsistent Land Use Districts.
A. The land use districts adopted in Ordinance Number _, Section_,
as they apply to shoreland areas, and their delineated boundaries on the
Official Zoning Map, are not consistent with the land use district
designation criteria specified in Section 4.22 herein. These inconsistent
land use district designations may continue until revisions are proposed to
change either the land use district designation within an existing land use
district boundary shown on the Official Zoning Map or to modify the
boundary of an existing land use district shown on the Official Zoning Map.
B. When a revision is proposed to an inconsistent land use district provision,
the following additional criteria and procedures shall apply:
(1) For Lakes. When a revision to a land use district designation on a
lake is considered, the land use district boundaries and use
provisions therein for all the shoreland areas. within the jurisdiction
of this ordinance on said lake must be revised to. make them
substantially compatible with the framework in Sections 4.21 and
4.22 of this ordinance.
(2) For Rivers and Streams. When a revision to a land use district
designation on a river or stream is proposed, the land use district
. boundaries and the use provisions therein for all shoreland on both
. sides of the river or stream within the same classification within the
jurisdiction of this ordinance must be revised to make them
substantially compatible with the framework in Sections 4.21 and
4.22 oithis ordinance. If the same river classification is contiguous
for more than a five-mile segment, only the shoreland for a distance

Revised July 23, 1998
of 2.5 miles upstream and downstream, or to the class boundary if
closer, need be evaluated and revised.
C. When an interpretation question arises about whether a specific land use fits
within a given "use" category, the interpretation shall be made by the Board
of Adjustment. When a question arises as to whether a land'use district's
boundaries are properly delineated on the Official Zoning Map, this
decision shall be made by the City of Centerville.
D. When a revision is proposed to an inconsistent land use district provision
by an individual party or landowner, this individual party or landowner will
only be responsible to provide the supporting andior substantiating
information for the specific parcel in question. The City of Centervillewill
direct the Building Inspector to provide such additional information for
this waterbody as is necessary to satisfY Items A and B.
E. The City of Centerville must make a detailed finding of fact and conclusion
when taking fmal action that this revision, and the upgrading of any
inconsistent land use district designations on said waterbody, are consistent
with the enumerated criteria and use provisions of Section 4.2.

(3) they must be jointly owned by all purchasers of lots ill the
subdivision or by all purchasers of nonriparian lots in the
subdivision who are provided riparian access rights on the access
lot; and
(4) covenants or other equally effective legal instruments must be
developed that specify which lot owners have authority to use the
access lot and what activities are allowed. The activities may
include watercraft launching, loading, storage, beaching, mooring,
or docking. They must also include other outdoor recreational
activities that do not significantly conflict with general public use of
the public water or the enjoyment of normal property rights by
adjacent property owners. Examples of the insignificant conflict
activities include swimming, sunbathing, or picnicking. The
covenants must limit the total number of vehicles allowed to be
parked and the total number of watercraft allowed to be
continuously moored, docked, or stored over water, and must
require centralization of all common facilities and activities in the
most suitable locations on the lot to minimize topographic and
vegetation alterations. They must also require all parking areas,
storage buildings, and other facilities to be screened by vegetation
or topography as much as practical from view from the public
water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions.
5.2 Placement, Design, and Height of Structures.
5.21 Placement of Structures on Lots. When more than one setback applies to a site,
structures and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Where structures
exist on the adjoining lots on both sides of a proposed building site, structure
setbacks may be altered without a variance to conform to the adjoining setbacks
from the ordinary high water level, provided the proposed building site is not
located in a shore impact zone or in a bluff impact zone. Structures shall be located

D. Uses Without Water-oriented Needs. Uses without water-oriented needs
must be located on lots or parcels without public waters frontage, or, if
located on lots or parcels with public waters frontage, must either be set
back double the normal ordinary high water level setback or be substantiaIIy
screened from view from the water by vegetation or topography, assuming
summer, leaf-on conditions.
5.22 Design Criteria For Structures.
A. High Water Elevations. Structures must be placed in accordance with any
floodplain regulations applicable to the site. Where these controls do not
exist, the elevation to which the lowest floor, including basement, is placed
or flood-proofed must be determined as follows:
(1) for lakes, by placing the lowest floor at a level at least three feet
SMO-260.081
-19-
260-081-10
SMO-260.08!
UJ.{Alt'T
Revised July 23, 1998
above the highest known water level, or three feet above the
ordinary high water level, whichever is higher;
(2) for rivers and streams, by placing the lowest floor at least three feet
above the flood of record, if data are available. If data are not
available, by placing the lowest floor at least three feet above the
ordinary high water level, or by conducting a technical evaluation
to determine effects of proposed constrUction upon flood stages and
flood flows and to establish a flood protection elevation. Under all
three approaches, technical evaluations must be done by a qualified
engineer or hydrologist consistent with parts 6120.5000 to
6120.6200 governing the management of flood plain areas. If more
than one approach is used, the highest flood protection elevation
determined must be used for placing strUctures and other facilities;
and
(3) water-oriented accessory structures may have the lowest floor placed
lower than the elevation determined in this item if the structure is
constructed of flood-resistant materials to the elevation, electrical
and mechanical equipment is placed above the elevation and, if long
duration flooding is anticipated, the structure is built to withstand
ice action and wind-driven waves and debris.
B. Water-oriented Accessory Structures.' Each lot may have one
water-oriented accessory structure not meeting the normal structure setback
in Section 5.21 of this ordinance if this water-oriented accessory structure
complies with the following provisions:
(1) the strUcture or facility must not exceed ten feet in height, exclusive
of safety rails, and cannot occupy an area greater than 250 square
feet. Detached decks must not exceed eight feet above grade at any
point;
(2) the setback of the strUcture or facility from the ordinary high water
level must be at least ten feet;
,
(3) the structure or facility must be treated to reduce visibility as viewed
from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation,
topography, increased setbacks or color, assuming summer, leaf-on
conditions ;
(4) the roof may be used as a deck with safety rails, but must not be
enclosed or used as a storage area;
(5) the structure or facility must not be designed or used for human
habitation and must not contain water supply or sewage treatment
facilities; and
-20-

Revised July 23, 1998
(6) as an alternative for general development and recreational
development waterbodies, water-oriented accessory structures used
solely for watercraft storage, and including storage of related
boating and water-oriented sporting equipment, may occupy an area
up to 400 square feet provided the maximum width of the structure
is 20 feet as measured parallel to the configuration of the shoreline.
C. Stairways, Lifts, and Landings. Stairways and lifts are the preferred
alternative to major topographic alterations for achieving access up and
down bluffs and steep slopes to shore areas. Stairways and lifts must meet
the following design requirements:
(1) stairways and lifts must not exceed four feet in width on residential
lots. Wider stairways may be used for commercial properties,
public open-space recreational properties, and planned unit
developments;
(2) landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots must not exceed
32 square feet in area. Landings larger than 32 square feet may be
used for commercial properties, public open-space recreational
properties, and planned unit developments;
(3) canopies or roofs are not allowed on stairways, lifts, or landings;
(4) stairways, lifts, and landings may be either constructed above the
ground on posts or pilings, or placed into the ground, provided they
are designed and built in a manner that ensures control of soil
erosion;
(5) stairways, lifts, and landings must be located in the most visually
inconspicuous portions of lots, as viewed from the surface of the
public water assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, whenever
practical; and
(6) facilities such as ramps, lifts, or, mobility paths for physically
handicapped persons are also allowed for achieving access to shore
areas, provided that the dimensional and performance standards of
sub items (1) to (5) are complied with in addition to the requirements
of Minnesota Regulations, Chapter 1340.
D. Significant Historic Sites. No structure may be placed on a significant
historic site in a manner that affects the values of the site unless adequate
information about the site has been removed and documented in a public
repository .

Steep Slopes. The City of Centerville Building Inspector must evaluate
possible soil erosion impacts and development visibility from public waters
before issuing a permit for construction of sewage treatment systems, roads,
driveways, structures, or other improvements on steep slopes. When
determined necessary, conditions must be attached to issued permits to
prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of structures,
vehicles, and other facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters,
assuming summer, leaf-on vegetation.

safety hazards.
5.32 Topographic Alterations/Grading and Filling.
A. Grading and filling and excavations necessary for the construction of
structures, sewage treatment systems, and driveways under validly issued
construction permits for these facilities do not require the issuance of a
separate grading and filling permit. However, the grading and filling
standards in this Section must be incorporated into the issuance of permits
for construction of structures, sewage treatment systems, and driveways.
B. Public roads and parking areas are regulated by Section 5.4 of this
ordinance.
C. Notwithstanding Items A. and B. above, a grading and filling permit will
be required for:

slopes or within shore or bluff impact zones; and
(2) the movement of more than 50 cubic yards of material outside of
steep slopes and shore and bluff impact zones.
D. The following considerations and conditions must be adhered to during the
issuance of construction permits, grading and fIlling permits, conditional
use permits, variances and subdivision approvals:
(1) Grading or filling in any type 2, 3,4,5,6,7, or 8 wetland must be
evaluated to determine how extensively the proposed activity would
affect the following functional qualities of the wetIand*:
(a) sediment and pollutant trapping and retention;
(b) storage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage;
(c) fish and wildlife habitat;
(d) recreational use;

noteworthiness, including special qualities such as historic
signficance, critical habitat for endangered plants and
animals, or others.
*This evaluation must also include a determination of whether the
wetland alteration being proposed requires permits; reviews, or
approvals by other local, state, or federal agencies such as a
watershed district, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
or the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The applicant will
be so advised.
(2) Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures
only the smallest amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest
time possible;
(3) Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for
temporary bare soil coverage, and a permanent vegetation cover
must be established as soon as possible;
(4) Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they
reach any surface water feature must be used;
(5) Altered areas must be stabilized to acceptable erosion control
standards consistent with the field office technical guides of the
local soil and water conservation districts and the United States Soil
Conservation Service;
(6) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in a manner that
creates an unstable slope;
(7) Plans to place fill or excavated material on steep slopes must be
reviewed by qualified professionals for continued slope stability and
must not create finished slopes of 30 percent or greater;
(8) Fill or excavated material must not be placed in bluff impact zones;
(9) Any alterations below the ordinary high water level of public waters
must first be authorized by the commissioner under Minnesota
Statutes, 103G.245;
(10) Alterations of topography must only be allowed if they are accessory
to permitted or conditional uses and do not adversely affect adjacent
or nearby properties; and
(11) Placement of natural rock riprap, including associated grading of the
shoreline and placement of a filter blanket, is permitted if the
finished slope does not exceed three feet horizontal to one foot

vertical, the landward extent of the riprap is within ten feet of the
ordinary high water level, and the height of the riprap above the
ordinary high water level does not exceed three feet.
- .
E. Connections to public waters. Excavations where the intended purpose is
connection to public water, such as boat slips, canals, lagoons; and harbors,
must be controlled by local shoreland controls. Permission for excavations
may be given only after the commissioner has approved the proposed
connection to public waters.
5.4 Placement and Design of Roads, Driveways, and Parking Areas.
5.41 Public and private roads and parking areas must be designed to take advantage of
natural vegetation and topography to achieve maximum screening from view from
public waters. Documentation must be provided by a qualified individual that all
roads and parking areas are designed and constructed to minimize and control
erosion to public waters consistent with the field office technical guides of the local
soil and water conservation district, or other applicable technical materials.
5.42 Roads, driveways, and parking areas must meet structure setbacks and must not be
placed within bluff and shore impact zones, when other reasonable and feasible
placement alternatives exist. If no alternatives exist, they may be placed within
these areas, and must be designed to minimize adverse impacts.
5.43 Public and private watercraft access ramps, approach roads, and access-related
parking areas may be placed within shore impact zones provided the vegetative
screening and erosion control conditions of this subpart are met. For private
facilities, the grading and fIlling provisions of Section 5.32 of this ordinance must
be met.
5.5 Stormwater Management.
The following general and specific standards shall apply:
5.51 General Standards:
A. When possible, existing natural drainageways, wetlands, and vegetated soil
surfaces must be used to convey, store, filter, and retain stormwater runoff
before discharge to public waters.
B. Development must be planned and conducted in a manner that will minimi7e
the extent of disturbed areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and
reduce and delay runoff volumes. Disturbed areas must be stabilized and
protected as soon as possible and facilities or methods used to retain
sediment on the site.

When development density, topographic features, and soil and vegetation
conditions are not sufficient to adequately handle stormwater runoff using
natural features and vegetation, various types of constructed facilities such
as diversions, settling basins, skimming devices, dikes, waterways, and
ponds may be used. Preference must be given to designs using surface
drainage, vegetation, and infIltration rather than buried pipes and man-made
materials and facilities.
5.52 SpecifIc Standards:
A. hnpervious surface coverage of lots must not exceed 25 percent of the lot
area.
B. When constructed facilities are used for stormwater management,
documentation must be provided by a qualifIed individual that they are
designed and installed consistent with the field office technical guide of the
local soil and water conservation districts.
C. New constructed stormwater outfalls to public waters must provide for
filtering or settling of suspended solids and skimming of surface debris
before discharge.
5.6 Special Provisions for Commercial, Industrial, Public/Semipublic, Agricultural,
Forestry and Extractive Uses and Mining of Metallic "Minerals and Peat.
5.61 Standards for Commercial, Industrial, Public, and Semipublic Uses.
A. Surface water-oriented commercial uses and industrial, public, or
semipublic uses with similar needs to have access to and use of public
waters may be located on parcels or lots with frontage on public waters.
Those uses with water-oriented needs must meet the following standards:
(1) in addition to meeting impervious coverage limits, setbacks, and
other zoning standards in this ordinance, the uses must be designed
to incorporate topographic and vegetative screening of parking areas
and structures;
(2) uses that require short-term watercraft mooring for patrons must
centralize these facilities and design them to avoid obstructions of
navigation and to be the minimum size necessary to meet the need;
and
(3) uses that depend on patrons arriving by watercraft may use signs and
lighting to convey needed information to the public, subject to the
following general standards:

DRAFT
Revised July 23, 1998
(a) no advertising signs or supporting facilities for signs may be
placed in or upon public waters. Signs conveying
information or safety messages may be placed in or on
public waters by a public authority or under a permit issued
by the county sheriff;
(b) signs may be placed, when necessary, within the shore
impact zone if they are designed and sized to be the
minimum necessary to convey needed information. They
must only convey the location and name of the establishment
and the general types of goods or services available. The
signs must not contain other detailed information such as
product brands and prices, must not be located higher than
ten feet above the ground, and must not exceed 32 square
feet in size. If illuminsted by artificial lights, the lights must
be shielded or directed to prevent illumination out across
public waters; and
(c) other outside lighting may be located within the shore impact
zone or over public waters if it is used primarily to
illuminate potential safety hazards and is shielded or
otherwise directed to prevent direct illuminstion out across
public waters. This does not preclude use of navigational
lights.
B. Uses without water-oriented needs must be located on lots or parcels
without public waters frontage, or, if located on lots or parcels with public
waters frontage, must either be set back double the normal ordinary high
water level setback or be substantially screened from view from the water
by vegetation or topography, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions.

sod farming, and wild crop harvesting are permitted uses if steep slopes and
shore and bluff impact zones are maintailled in permanent vegetation or
operated under an approved conservation plan (Resource Management
Systems) consistent with the field office technical guides of the local soil
and water conservation districts or the United States Soil Conservation
Service, as provided by a qualified individual or agency. The shore impact
zone for parcels with permitted agricultural land uses is equal to a line
parallel to and 50 feet from the ordinary high water level.

8.1 Types of POO's Permissible
Planned unit developments (PUD's) are allowed for new projects on undeveloped land,
redevelopment of previously built sites, or conversions of existing buildings and land. The
land use districts in which they are an allowable use are identified in the land use district
descriptions in Section 4.2 of this ordinance and the official zoning map.
8.2 Processing of POO's_
Plarined unit developments must be processed as a conditional use, except that an
expansion to an existing commercial PUD involving 6 or iess new dwelling units or sites
since the date this ordinance was adopted is permissible 'as a permitted use provided the
total project density does not exceed the allowable densities calculated in the project
density evaluation procedures in Section 8.5. Approval cannot occur until the
environmental review process (BAW/EIS) is complete.
8.3 Application for a PUD

This suitable area and the proposed project are then subjected to either the
residential or commercial planned unit development density evaluation steps to
arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units or sites.
8.5 Residential and Conunercial PUD Density Evaluation
The procedures for determining the "base" density of a PUD and density increase
multipliers are as follows. Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any
other tier further from the waterbody, but must not be transferred to any other tier closer.
8.51 Residential PUD "Base" Density Evaluation:
A. The suitable area within each tier is divided by the single residential lot size
standard for lakes or, for rivers, the single residential lot width standard
times the tier depth, unless the local unit of gove=ent has specified an
alternative minimum lot size for rivers which shall then be used to yield a
base density of dwelling units or sites for each tier. Proposed locations and
numbers of dwelling units or sites for the residential planned unit
developments are then compared with the tier, density, and suitability
analyses herein and the design criteria in Section 8.6
8.52 Commercial PUD "Base" Density Evaluation:
A. Determine the average inside living area size of dwelling units or sites
within each tier, including both existing and proposed units and sites.
Computation of inside living area sizes need not include decks, patios,
stoops, steps, garages, or porches and basements, unless they are habitable
space.
B. Select the appropriate floor area ratio from the following table:

C. Shore recreation facilities, including but not limited to swimming areas,
docks, and watercraft mooring areas and launching ramps, must be
centralized and located in areas suitable for them. Evaluation of suitability
must include consideration of land slope, water depth, vegetation, soils,
depth to groundwater and bedrock, or other relevant factors. The number
of spaces provided for continuous beaching, mooring, or docking of
watercraft must not exceed one for each allowable dwelling unit or site in
the first tier (notwithstanding existing mooring sites in an existing
commercially used harbor). Launching ramp facilities, including a small
dock for loading and unloading equipment, may be provided for use by
occupants of dwelling units or sites located in other tiers;
D. Structures, parking areas, and other facilities must be treated to reduce
visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by
vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color, or other means
acceptable to the local unit of government, assuming summer,. leaf-on
conditions. Vegetative and topographic screening must be preserved, if
existing, or may be required to be provided;
E. Accessory structures and facilities, except water oriented accessory
structures, must meet the required principal structure setback and must be
centralized; and
F. Water-oriented accessory structures and facilities may be allowed if they
meet or exceed design standards contained in Section 5.2 of this ordinance
and are centralized.
8.7 Conversions
Local governments may allow existing resorts or other' land uses and facilities to be'
converted to residential planned unit developments if all of the following standards are
met:
8.71 Proposed conversions must be initially evaluated using the same procedures for
residential planned unit developments involving all new construction.
Inconsistencies between existing features of the development and these standards
must be identified.
8.72 Deficiencies involving water supply and sewage treatment, structure color,
impervious coverage, open space, and shore recreation facilities must be corrected
as part of the conversion or as specified in the conditional use permit.

8.73 Shore and bluff impact zone deficiencies must be evaluated and reasonable
improvements made as part of the conversion. These improvements must include,
where applicable, the following:
A. Removal of extraneous buildings, docks, or other facilities that no longer
need to be located in shore or bluff impact zones;
B. Remedial measures to correct erosion sites and improve vegetative cover
and screening of buildings and other facilities as viewed from the water;
and
C. If existing dwelling units are located in shore or bluff impact zones,
conditions are attached to approvals of conversions that preclude exterior
expansions in any dimension or substantial alterations. The conditions must
also provide for future relocation of dwelling units, where feasible, to other
locations, meeting all setback and elevation requirements when they are
rebuilt or replaced.
8.74 Existing dwelling unit or dwelling site densities that exceed standards in Section 8.5
may be allowed to continue but must not be allowed to be increased, either at the
time of conversion or in the future. Efforts must be made during the cOnversion
to limit impacts of high densities by requiring seasonal use, improving vegetative
screening, centralizing shore recreation facilities, installing new sewage treatment
systems, or other means.

The City Attorney advised Staff at the 10/27/04 Council meeting that the League of
Minnesota Cities has a site that breaks down further the costs associated with in-house
legal and engineering costs. Attached are copies that Staffwas able to pull up and copy
from the LMC site. The list shows cities that have in-house legal and engineering staff,
the population of the city and their respective salaries broken down to various increments,
i.e. hourly, annual and hours work per week.
Please keep in mind when reviewing this information that many of these cities are not in
the metro area, where these services are more expensive but more competitive. Also, in
two cases, being a city attorney for a particular community is not their only job.

City Clerk
1880 Main Street
Centerville, MN 55038
Dear Theresa:
As you know, we completed a draft code of ordinances for Centerville in August of 1998. Usually,
a 60-day review period is given to the municipality to make changes and/or revisions to the code. This
project has been ongoing for six years.
I have been contacting you since June of this year to attempt a resolution, but fear there is no
resolution to be had in the near future. (You were given three options: to start anew, to complete the
draft or abandon the project.) After discussing the issue with Duke Addicks, at the League of Minnesota
Cities, American Legal Publishing has now decided that we must close out this account before the year's
end.
We can no longer continue to put hours and manpower toward this project. If, at a future time,
you wish to codify your ordinances and feel the timelines of the contract are doable, you may contact us
and we will reevaluate your material and provide you with an estimate of cost.
I will close out the account on Friday, November 12. After that date, I will no longer contact you
and the initial contract between the City of Centerville and American Legal Publishing will be considered
void. We will forego the 20% of the remaining contract amount ($1,060) we initially requested for project
abandonment.
If you would like to contact me, you may do so at 1-800-445-5588 or via e-mail at
amercer@amlegal.com.
Best Regards,
~~

Hi Kim,
I would be happy to send you my Power Point presentation. I think the file is too big to
email, so I'll put it onto a CD-ROM and mail it to you. You can play it, burn copies of
it, print off paper copies - whatever you would like to do.
Next, we at RCWD are pleased to offer our input on the Cty. Rd. 14 reconstruction project
as far as minimizing the impacts of the project. Employing some "best management
practices" (BMPs) may offer cost-effective, environmentally sensitive approaches that
would also help to beautify the project. Here are some general concepts to think about.
The stretch of road that goes through downtown past the City Hall might be a good place to
aye raingardens instead of curb and gutter. The raingardens could be in the median, on
the sides of the road or both. Since I don't know the specs of the road widths and I am
not an engineer, it is difficult to for me to go into detail. I am copying this ernail to
our district engineers.
The stretch of road the goes between Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake, however, should be
handled differently. We do not want the run-off to go into the lakes. The objective here
would be to get the dirty road water away from the lakes and filtering it through someone
before it enters the lakes.
Please continue to keep us in the loop on what you are thinking and let us know what else
we can provide you.

To: countyroad14@co.anoka.mn.us; capria@comcast.net; doug.fischer@co.anoka.mn.us
Subject: re:Medians
Mr. Lyndon Robjent:
We are writing in regards to some changes in the County Road 14 project. The area ofconcem is the
median being projected at the Cottonwood Court intersection and Cty Rd 14 and to 20th Avenue. The
way you are planning on placing the median we won't be able to turn left in and out of Cottonwood Ct.
You mentioned we will need to make V-turns at Brian Drive to reach our home ifwe were coming from
l-35E.
Do you realize that the V-turns involve busy interesections such as Brian Drive and 20th Avenue? There
are many cars turning in and out of Brian Drive to their homes and the Eagle Pass development that will
make the V-turn very difficult as well as slow traffic on County Road 14. We feel the V-turns will be
unsafe as well as will slow traffic on County Road 14. If people need to make a V-turn to reach Comer
Express, their homes along 14 or Cottonwood Ct there will be a back-up at the turn by Brian Drive-this
will also back-up traffic trying to go west and people will illegally go around the traffic, just like they do
now. The median will only allow us to turn right onto Cty Rd 14 and you stated to Gary on Oct. 29, on
a phone call, that we are to possibly make a V-turn at the 4-way stop in order to go towards downtown
Centerville and where our children's school is; besides their activities that are all to the west of our
home. How are we to make a V-turn at the 4-way stop at 20th Ave or Brian Drive with a large suburban
or any other SUV or van? Has the road been designed to accomodate these wide turns without
interfering with traffic on Brian Drive that is also trying to get access to Cty Rd 14? And potentially
dangerous situations at the 4-way stop trying to make a V-turn?
We feel making V-turns is not going to be safer. We don't have a large volume of traffic on our street
but we should be able to turn left and right out of our street and anyone living along Cty Rd 14. How
many accidents on this stretch of Cty Rd 14 have been reported in the last years to make you feel it
would be safer to have a median instead of the current continuous left turn lane?
Gary understood that you thought there will be a stop light at the 20th Avenue and Cty Rd 14
intersection and at the October 13, 2004 City of Centerville worksession meeting Jim Dvorak, SRF
11/2/2004
Page 2 of2
Engineering, spoke that "the county has no plans for stop lights at any intersections." You thought with
a stop light this would make it easier to make a V-turn at this intersection and make it safer. Is there a
stop light planned in the last couple of weeks? And isthis intersection also going to allow for larger
vehicles, trailors, gas trucks, delivery trucks and whomever else this involves?
Gary spoke to Doug Fischer at the fIrst public meeting and they discussed the speed limits. Mr. Fischer
stated that, not always, but once an improvement is made the speed limit may increase in the near future.
It is already 45 m.p.h. along this stretch ofCty Rd 14. If the tendency is to increase these limits it is not
good for our children that need to cross the roads or be on the paths once they are old enough to do so.
Reducing the speed limit to 35 m.p.h., like it is near the school, which Mn Dot changes, and
adding a continuous left turn lane and having NO concrete medians west of 20th avenue
solves a lot problems for businesses and the community.
And have medians, if needed, east of 20th but with turn lanes with yield signs for safety issues. Making
these changes will only benefIt the city of Centerville and will keep patrons going to local businesses.
Please keep this in mind when making future decisions because this is important to us. We don't have
another outlet and we feel it is very hazardous to be forced to make V -turns when we feel there are
duable solutions.
Please contact us at GaryandConnieSchmidt@comcast.net and we will be at any further workshop
sessions to discuss these plans before they are approved. Thank you and we do know you are doing what
you feel is safest for our co=nnity-but hopefully something can be worked out to better suit the needs
of our community and businesses that the medians are affecting.
Thanks again-Gary and Connie Schmidt
