RCA Attachment D Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 30, 2023 Page 2 converted. She stated these used to be City designated and since the time this was originally done, the bodies of water have become DNR named but no City ones were added that she was aware of. Mr. Freihammer explained all the other bodies of water mentioned fall under the wetland part of the ordinance. Ms. Gundlach indicated regarding the impervious surface under the stormwater changes being moved to Title 8, she pulled up the document prepared a while ago in connection with engineering about what is being moved out into Title 8. She believed that the impervious surface limitations are included in those regulations as well at twenty-five percent and are consistent. The difference is the things being moved to Title 8, someone would have the ability to go up to thirty percent if the additional hard surface is directed to an onsite or regional storm water ponding retention facility designed to accommodate the increased runoff prior to discharge from the site. Ms. Gundlach thought part of the problem now with it being in the Shoreland Over- lay District is the DNR is not ok with going up to the thirty percent so by moving it out into Title 8 that option still exists for the situations where it is the wetland situation but not the shoreland situation. Councilmember Schroeder asked if the natural cover of the shoreline will remain or will there be an upgraded natural plant because the natural cover on some of the shoreline is not really nice cover. Ms. Trapp explained the intention is looking for plants and vegetation that is not manicured lawn all the way up to the shore and not beach as well. It would be some type of plant material that will be protective of the shoreline and not be erodible. She indicated this can be reviewed again for wording and suggestions. Councilmember Strahan asked if Ms. Trapp knew how many people the changes in the Shoreland Overlay District would impact and be out of compliance if a new code is put in place. Ms. Gundlach explained there are many different factors that staff could look at to determine who would be out of compliance. She indicated the City does not have a lot of ADU’s (Accessory Dwelling Units) so she is not really concerned about that. The City does not have a ton of situations where people exceed hard surface requirements and those would be grandfathered in once the City goes to the new model ordinance. She did not know if there were others. Ms. Trapp noted lot sizes were indicated while looking at the analysis but those are existing conditions as well. One advantage they were able to do that was not called out but is good to know, is that this code establishes that all of the underlying zoning
