In section 906.08 (1) (C), on page 8, staff proposes to eliminate the <br /> word "Other" from in front of"Sewered Areas". This change makes <br /> • this section apply to all sewered lots in the Wild and Scenic River <br /> District. <br /> Since lot sizes for commercial and industrial lots are not specifically <br /> addressed the underlying zoning will dictate. The Wild and Scenic <br /> River District is an overlay district (in addition to the regular zoning). <br /> 4. SETBACKS - All structures and septic systems, including those on <br /> commercial and industrial lots, have to meet the setbacks specified in <br /> the Wild and Scenic River Ordinance. <br /> You will note that special setbacks are included in the draft ordinance <br /> for sections 33 and 34, T33N, R26W. This is the historic area of Elk <br /> River. These special setback avoid creating a large number of <br /> nonconforming structure in this established portion the City. <br /> The following are additional comments made by the DNR and staffs <br /> responses: <br /> 1. Some sections from the City's Shoreland Ordinance have been <br /> reference in the Wild and Scenic River Ordinance instead of being <br /> • repeated. The DNR questions whether or not enforcement would be <br /> easier if all sections were spelled out. Staff recommends the Wild and <br /> Scenic River Ordinance remains as written. Adding the referenced <br /> section would double its number of pages and it is not that difficult to <br /> cross reference. <br /> 2. The draft ordinance allows controlled access lots. An example of a <br /> controlled access lot is a lot on the river that is retained to provide <br /> river access for the owners of the nonriparian lots within a subdivision. <br /> Controlled access lots can be eliminated at a later date, if they prove to <br /> be a problem. <br /> 3. The DNR questions whether or not the City should allow developments <br /> in the Wild and Scenic River District to exceed 25% lot coverage. Their <br /> is an exception to the maximum lot coverage provided for in Section <br /> 904.08 (5) (B) of the City's Shoreland Ordinance. Their specific <br /> comment is that the Mississippi District could be 100% covered with <br /> impervious surfaces if the drainage plan requirements of the <br /> aforementioned section of the Shoreland Ordinance is met. The DNR <br /> suggests the City caps this exception at 50% lot coverage on only the <br /> most developed areas of the City. <br /> • <br /> s:\b&z\s teve r\wldrivor.doc <br />
