Section 3. That Ordinance No. 42 be amended by adding Section 24.B to read as follows: Section 24.8 "S" SHORELAND DISTRICT 24.8.1. Purpose. The purpose of the Shoreland District is to provide oar adequate regulation over the development of shorelands to insure that areas particularly sensitive to development due to wet soils, steep slopes, flooding, inadequate drainage, or severe erosion potential, etc. will be protected from incompatible and overly intensive land use development. 24.8.2. Shoreland Districts. The shorelands within the City of Lake- ville are hereby designated as shoreland districts and the requirements set forth in this Section shall govern development and other activities within these districts. The classification of the shore land areas shall govern the use, alteration and development of these areas, according to said classification. 24.8.3. District Application. The "S" Shoreland District shall be applied to and superimposed upon all zoning districts as con- tained herein as existing or amended by the text and map of this Ordinance. The regulations and requirements imposed by the "S" Shoreland District shall be in addition to those estab- lished for districts which jointly apply. Under the joint application of districts, the more restrictive requirements shall apply. -2- 24.B.4. Boundaries. The boundaries of the shoreland district are es- tablished within the following distances from the ordinary high water mark of the surface water .depending on the size of the surface water as indicated on the Lakeville shoreland district maps. SURFACE WATER DISTANCE (FEET)* Greater than 10 acres (Table 1) 1,000 Rivers and Streams (draining an area greater than two square miles) 300** *The practical distance may be less whenever the waters involved are bounded by topographical divides which extend landward from the waters for lesser distances and prevent flowage to- ward the surface water. **The distance requirement shall be increased to the limit of the flood plain when greater than 300 feet.

Where development exists on both sides of a proposed building site, building setbacks may be altered to more closely conform to adjacent building setbacks. **Subject to regulations and exceptions as provided in Section 4 and 7 through 24 and 25. ***Where feasible and practical, all roads and parking areas shall meet the setback requirements established for structures in (c) above. Natural vegetation or other natural materials shall be required in order to screen parking areas when viewed from the water. Parking areas of more than four (4) spaces shall be screened in accordance with a landscaping plan submitted and approved by the City Council. (2) Substandard Lot. Any lot of record filed in the office of the Dakota County Register of Deeds on the effective date of this ordinance amendment which does not meet the area requirements of 24.B.5(1) of this section may be allowed as a building site provided the lot meets all standards of the applicable zoning use dis- trict and subject to approval of a shoreland impact plan. 24.B.6. Development Regulation. (1) Landowners or developers desiring to develop land or construct any dwelling or any other artificial obstruc- tion on land located within any shoreland district within the City of Lakeville shall first submit a conditional use permit application as regulated by Section 5 of this Ordinance and a plan of development, hereinafter referred to as "shoreland impact plan", which shall set forth proposed provisions for sedi- ment control, water management, maintenance of land- scaped features, and any additional matters intended to improve or maintain the quality of the environment. Such a plan shall set forth proposed changes requested by the applicant and affirmatively disclose what, if any, change will be made in the natural condition of the earth, including loss or change of earth ground cover, destruction of trees, grade courses and marshes. The plan shall minimize tree removal, ground cover change, loss of natural vegetation, and grade changes as much as possible, and shall affirmatively provide for the relocation or replanting of as many trees as -4- possible which are proposed to be removed. The pur- pose of the shoreland impact plan shall be to eliminate as much as possible potential pollution, erosion and siltation. (a) Exceptions. 1. No conditional use permit or shoreland impact plan shall be required for the development of permitted accessory uses contained within the "FR", "R-lA, B, C, D,"'Or "R-Z" D1Str1CtS. 2. No conditional use permit or shoreland impact plan shall be required for the development of permitted uses contained within the "FR", "R- lA, B, C, D," and "R-2" Districts provided that such uses are constructed on standard lots when abutting a shoreline and that all such uses are serviced with public sanitary sewer. (2) Sewage and Waste Disposal. Any premises used for human occupancy shall be provided with an adequate method of sewage disposal to be maintained in accordance with acceptable practices. (a) Public sanitary sewer collection and treatment facilities must be used where available, and where feasible. (b) All private sewage and other sanitary waste dis- posal systems shall conform to applicable standards, criteria, rules and regulations of Lakeville, the PQinnesota Department of Health and the Pollution Control Agency. (c) A septic tank-drain field system shall be the only acceptable system for installation unless it can be demonstrated that this system is not feasible on the particular lot in question and it can be demonstrated that the system being proposed as an alternate will not cause a pollution problem. (d) Location and installation of a septic tank and soil absorption system shall be such that, with reasonable maintenance, it will function in a sanitary manner and will not create a nuisance, endanger the quality of any domestic water supply, nor pollute or contami- nate any waters of the state. In determining a suit- able location for the system, consideration shall be given to the size and shape of the lot, slope of natural and finished grade, soil permeability, high ground water elevation, geology, proximity to exist- ing or future water supplies, accessibility for maintenance and possible expansion of the system. In no case shall the sewage system elevation above. highest ground water level or bedrock be less than four (4) feet. (e) No person, firm or corporation shall install, alter, repair or extend any individual sewer disposal sys- tem without first obtaining a permit therefor from the City of Lakeville for the specific installation, alteration, repair or extension. -5- (f) Placement of septic tank soil absorption systems shall be subject to the following setback require- ments where soil conditions are deemed adequate: 1. On natural environment lakes at least one hundred fifty (150) feet from the ordinary high water mark. 2. On recreational development lakes at least seventy-five (75) feet from the ordinary high water mark. 3. On general development lakes and streams at least fifty (50) feet from the ordinary high water mark. (g) Soil absorption systems shall not be allowed in the following areas for disposal of domestic sewage: 1. Low swampy areas or areas subject to recurrent flooding. 2. Areas where the highest known ground water table, bedrock or impervious soils conditions are within four (4) feet of the system. 3. Areas of ground slope which create a danger of seepage of the effluent onto the surface of the ground. (h) Nonconformity. All sanitary facilities inconsistent with requirements of this Section shall be brought into conformity within five (5) years after the date of adoptiom of this Ordinance amendment, or discon- tinued when there is evidence of septic tank effluent percolating from the ground, flowing directly into a lake or stream, or other indications of system failure. (3) Water Supply. Any private supply of water for domestic purposes shall conform to A4innesota Department of Health Standards for water quality. Private wells shall be placed. in areas not subject to flooding and up slope from any source of contamination. Wells already existing in areas subject to flooding shall be flood proofed in accordance with City Standards. (4) High Water Elevation. For lakes, ponds or flowages, no structure, except boat houses, piers and docks, shall be placed at an elevation inconsistent with the minimum elevation requirements of the flood plain management regulations. When fill is required to meet this elevation, the fill shall be allowed to stabilize, and construction shall not begin until the property has been inspected by the Building Inspector. Instances where flood plain elevations are not available, the lowest floor, including basement, of structures shall be at a level at least three (3) feet above the highest water level. In those instances where sufficient data on known water levels are not avail- able, the "ordinary high water" level will be used. (5) Erosion and Sedimentation Control. No structure shall be placed in any area which will require grading and/or filling which will result in impairment of public waters by reason -6- of erosion and sedimentation, violate provisions of State- wide Standards and Criteria for Management of Flood Plain Areas of Minnesota, or result in impairment of fish or acquatic,,life, 24.B.7. Shoreland Alterations. (1) The removal of natural vegetation shall be restricted to prevent.. erosion into public waters, to consume nutrients in the soil, and to preserve shoreland aesthetics. (a) Clearcutting is prohibited, except as necessary for placing public roads, utilities, structures, and parking areas. (b) Natural vegetation shall be restored insofar as feasible after any construction project. (c) Selective cutting of trees and underbrush is allowed as long as sufficient cover is left to make cars and structures inconspicuous when viewed from the water.. (2) Grading and Filling. (a) Grading and filling within shoreland districts, or any alterations of the natural topography where the slope of the land is toward a public water or water course leading to a public water must be approved by the Building Inspector and a permit obtained prior to the commencement of any work thereon. The permit may be granted subject to the conditions that: 1. No more than one-third (1/3) of the surface area of a lot shall be devoid of vegetative ground cover at any time. 2. Temporary ground cover such as mulch shall be used and permanent cover such as sod shall be planted as soon as possible. 3. I~lethods to prevent erosion and trap sediment shall be employed in accordance with the Lake- ville Subdivision Ordinance. 4. Fill shall not be placed in areas lower in ele- vation than the ordinary high water mark. 5. Fill shall be stabilized according to accepted engineering standards. 6. Fill shall not restrict a floodway or destroy the storage capacity of a flood plain. 7. The maximum slope of the finished surface which slopes toward a water bory or a water course leading to such water body shall be six (6) units horizontal to one (1) vertical. S. No grading or filling shall be permitted within Twenty (20) feet of the ordinary high water mark of a water body. -7- (b) Any work which will change or diminish the course, current, or cross section of a public water must be approved by the Department of Natural Resources before the work is begun. This includes construction of channels and ditches, lagooning, dredging of lake bottom for the removal of muck, silt or weeds, and filling in the lakebed, including low lying marsh areas. Approval shall be construed to mean the issuance by the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources of a permit under the procedures of Minnesota Statutes, 1974, Section 105.42 and other related statutes. {c) Excavations on shorelands where the intended purpose is connection to a public water, such as boat slips, canals, lagoons, and harbors, shall require a permit from the Building Inspector prior to commencement of construction. Such permit shall be obtained only after the Commissioner has approved the proposed connection to public waters. Approval will be given only if the proposed work is consistent with applica- ble state regulations for work in beds of public waters. 24.8.8. Planned Unit Development. The Planned Unit Development pro- visions contained in Section 4.18 of this Ordinance may be utilized within a shoreland district provided that the follow- ing requirements are satisfactorily met: (1) Preliminary plans shall be approved by the Department of .Natural Resources prior to City approval. (2) Central sewage facilities are installed which at least meet the applicable standards, criteria, rules, or regu- lations of the Minnesota Department of Health and the Pollution Control Agency or the PUD is connected to a public sanitary sewer. (3) Sufficient open space is preserved through the use of restrictive deed covenants, public dedications, etc. (4) The following factors are carefully evaluated to ensure that the increased density of development is consistent with the resource limitations of the public water: (a) Suitability of the site for the proposed use. (b) Physical and aesthetic impact of increased density. (c) Level of current development. (d) Levels and types of water surface use and public access. (e) Amount and ownership of undeveloped shoreland. (f) Possible effects on overall public use.

(6) The final PUD plan shall not be modified or altered in any way without written approval from the Department of Natural Resources. (7) PUD's incorporating shoreline recreational facilities such as beaches, docks, or boat launching facilities, etc. shall be designed such that said facilities are centralized for common utilization. 24.B.9. Variances. Variances may be granted by the City Council upon application as required in Section 5 of this Ordinance in extra- ordinary cases, but only when the proposed use is determined to be in the public interest. No variance shall be granted which the Council determines will or has a tendency to: (1) Result in the placement of an artificial obstruction which will restrict the passage of storm and flood water in such a manner as to increase the height of flooding. (2) Result in incompatible land uses or which would be detri- mental to the protection of surface and ground water supplies. (3) Be not in keeping with land use plans and planning objec- tives for the City of Lakeville or which will increase or cause danger to life or property. (4) Be inconsistent with the objectives of encouraging land use compatibility with and preservation of natural land forms, vegetation and other environmental assets, such as marshes and wetlands within the City of Lakeville. (5) No permit or variance shall be issued unless the applicant has submitted a Shoreland Impact Plan as required and set forth in this Ordinance. In granting any variance the Council may attach such conditions as they deem necessary to insure compliance with the purpose and intent of this Ordinance. 24.B.10. Effect of Permit. The granting of any permit, variance, or subdivision approval under provisions of this Section shall in no way affect the owner's ability to obtain the approval required by any other statute, ordinance or legislation of any state agency or subdivision thereof.. -9- t Section 4.
