only allowed on the Oalls of commercial and industrial buildings.
• What is the pi.�pose of the proposed clarification to setback requirements in the
Shoreland Overlay District? Staff: The proposed language was modeled after
the City of Prior Lake ordinance, which would be clearer for both staff and the
general public to understand the requirements for lakeshore lots with houses on
either side that are set back less than 75 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level
(OHWL) in the Shoreland Overlay District.
• Mr. Priore requested that the RS -4 District rear yard deck setback be reduced to

• Mr. Seurer stated that a 20 foot rear yard deck setback would work for his
situation.
• Mr. Priore stated that if the regulations are meant to preserve rear yard area,
then the impact on the rear yard area would be the same regardless of the
elevation of the deck off the ground. Mr. Licht responded that the impact of a
deck elevated more than 30 inches above grade is greater on the rear yard
privacy of the neighbors than a deck elevated less than 30.Dnches above grade.
Mr. Priore argued that neighbor privacy is also impac#al b!% the seven foot side
yard setback of the house in the RS -4 District. Mr. aI: stated that staff can
research deck setbacks in the RS -4 District and r4port back to the Planning
Commission for further discussion as part of th biic f rng on the proposed
