During its adoption <br />the lot width and area requirements for properties adjacent to natural environment lakes <br />were not included in the version that was adopted by the City. They are, however, <br />established by the State shoreland standards, which were created in 1989. Attached for the <br />Commission's consideration is the amended language, which identically mirrors the language <br />in the State Statute. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the amended <br />language. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax: 763.441.7425 <br /> S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\CCREPRTS\OAO 1- lO.DOC <br />www. ci.elk-river, mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
