The standards in this section shall apply to all shoreland areas within the County and shall supersede the requirements of the rest of this Ordinance. Other provisions of this Ordinance shall apply to shoreland areas in addition to provisions in this Chapter. Section 2 Floodplain Requirements Structures shall be placed according to any floodplain regulations applicable to the site. If these controls do not exist, the elevation to which the lowest floor, including basement, is placed or flood-proofed must be determined as follows: A. For lakes. The elevation for structures near lakes shall be achieved by placing the lowest floor at a level above the highest known water level, or three feet (3 ) above the ordinary high water level, whichever is higher. The high water level has been established for some lakes in Becker County. B. For rivers and streams. The elevation for structures near rivers and streams shall be achieved by placing the lowest floor at least three feet (3 ) above the flood of record, if data is available. If data is not available, by placing the lowest floor at least three feet (3 ) above the ordinary high water level, or by conducting a technical evaluation to determine effects of the proposed construction upon flood stages and flood flows and to establish a flood protection elevation. Under all three approaches, technical evaluations must be done by a qualified engineer or hydrologist consistent with Minnesota Rules parts to governing the management of flood plain areas. If more than one approach is used, the highest flood protection elevation determined shall be used for placing structures and other facilities. C. Exception for accessory structures. Water-oriented accessory structures may have the lowest floor placed lower than the elevation determined in this Section if the structure is constructed of flood- 49
2 resistant materials to the elevation required for structures in A and B, electrical and mechanical equipment is placed above the elevation and, if long duration flooding is anticipated, the structure is built to withstand ice action and wind-driven waves and debris. Section 3 Water-Oriented Accessory Structures A. When allowed. A lot may have one (1) water-oriented accessory structure not meeting the normal structure setback in Chapter 5, Section 2, Table 5-2 of this Ordinance if the following design requirements are met. B. Design requirements. The water oriented accessory structure shall comply with the following provisions: 1. Height and size. The structure exclusive of safety rails, must not exceed in height the elevation of the lot measured at the building setback line from the ordinary high water level, must not be more than twelve feet (12 ) above grade in height and cannot occupy an area greater than one hundred twenty (120) square feet. The elevation of the lot must be measured perpendicular to the location of the structure. Detached decks must not exceed eight feet (8 ) above grade at any point and must be pervious; 2. Setback. The structure must be placed at the toe of a steep slope or bluff, but no closer than ten (10) feet from the ordinary high water level or ice ridge, whichever is greater. On lots where the elevation permits a water oriented structure but the elevation is not a steep slope or bluff, the minimum setback shall be twenty (20) feet from the ordinary high water level or the ice ridge, whichever is greater; 3. Visibility. The structure shall be treated to reduce visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks or color, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions; 4. Roof. The roof may be used as a deck with safety rails not exceeding three feet (3 ), but shall not be enclosed or used as a storage area; 5. Not for habitation. The structure shall not be designed or used for human habitation and shall not contain a potable water supply or sewage disposal facilities. 6. Location. The structure shall be placed within the center one-third (1/3) of the lot unless a steep slope or bluff interferes with the placement of the structure, then the structure may be placed in the most suitable location on the lot meeting the side yard setbacks. Section 4 Stairways, Lifts, and Landings Stairways and lifts are the preferred alternative to land alterations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep slopes to the lakeshore. Stairways and lifts shall meet the following design requirements: A. Maximum width. Stairways and lifts shall not exceed four feet (4 ) in width on residential lots. Wider stairways may be used for commercial properties, public open-space recreational properties, and planned unit developments; B. Landings. Landings for stairways and lifts on residential lots shall not exceed thirty-two (32) square feet in area. Landings larger than thirty-two (32) square feet may be used for commercial properties, public open-space recreational properties, and planned unit developments. A landing at the bottom of 50
3 a steep slope or bluff may have an area up to forty-eight (48) square feet if the staircase exceeds ten feet (10) in height; C. Canopies and roofs. Canopies or roofs are not allowed on stairways, lifts, or landings; D. Construction must limit disturbance. Stairways, lifts, and landings may be either constructed above the ground on posts or pilings, or placed into the ground, provided they are designed and built in a manner that ensures control of soil erosion, limits vegetation and soil disturbance and prevents increased water runoff to the water body; E. Visibility. Stairways, lifts, and landings shall be located, whenever practical, in the most visually inconspicuous portions of lots, as viewed from the surface of the public water assuming summer, leafon conditions, whenever practical; and F. Facilities for the disabled. Facilities such as ramps, lifts, or paths for physically handicapped persons are allowed for access to shore areas. Section 5 Steep Slopes The Zoning Administrator shall evaluate possible soil erosion impacts and development visibility from public waters before issuing a permit for construction of driveways, structures, or other improvements on steep slopes. When determined necessary, conditions shall be attached to issued permits to prevent erosion and to preserve existing vegetation screening of structures, vehicles, and other facilities as viewed from the surface of public waters, assuming summer, leaf-on vegetation. Section 6 Fertilizer and Pesticide Use Use of fertilizers and pesticides in all districts shall minimize runoff into public waters by use of earth, vegetation, or both. Fertilizer containing phosphorus may not be applied in shore impact zones, in bluff impact zones or on steep slopes. Section 7 Vegetation Alterations The removal and alteration of vegetation on lots or parcels in shoreland areas is allowed subject to the standards in this Section. A. Exemptions. Vegetation alteration necessary for the construction of structures and sewage treatment systems and the construction of roads, driveways and parking areas regulated by Chapter 6, Section 9; agricultural uses as regulated by Chapter 6, Section 12; and forest management as regulated by Chapter 6, Section13; are exempt from the vegetation alteration standards in this Section. B. Shore impact zone. Removal of trees more than two inches (2 ) in diameter at the height of four feet (4 ) from the ground is not allowed within a shore impact zone except during construction pursuant to a building permit for a Water Oriented Structure. Removal of other natural vegetation within a shore impact zone is allowed only if it is done in a manner that will prevent increased erosion. C. Bluff impact zone and steep slopes. Removal of natural vegetation within bluff impact zones and on steep slopes that drain toward a lake or river is not allowed. D. Forest land conversion. Removal of natural vegetation for forest land conversion to another use outside the shore or bluff impact zones or steep slopes is allowable as a conditional use if forestry best management practices are followed as established by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and an erosion control and sedimentation plan is developed and approved by the Becker County Soil and Water Conservation District. 51
4 E. Creation of view area. In shore and bluff impact zones and on steep slopes, pruning, and trimming of trees is allowed to provide a view to the water from the principal dwelling site and for access paths, provided that: 1. Best management practices used. Pruning and trimming procedures follow best management practices recommended by the Minnesota Extension Service; 2. Screening. The screening of structures, vehicles, or other facilities as viewed from the water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, is not substantially reduced; and 3. Shading of water. Existing shading of water surfaces is preserved. F. Safety hazards. The above provisions are not applicable to the removal of trees, limbs, or branches that are dead, diseased, or pose safety hazards. G. Access path. One access path is allowed from the residence to the shore provided that it is no wider than ten feet (10 ) and does not promote erosion or drainage to the water body. Section 8 Retaining Walls A. Pre-application Meeting. In order to avoid costly revisions of retaining wall plans, the property owner and/or contractor may have a preliminary on-site meeting with the Environmental Review Technical Panel. The preliminary meeting is to insure that the applicant is informed of the procedural requirements or limitations imposed by the ordinances. The property owner and/or contractor may present a conceptual plan to the Zoning Office to have a meeting scheduled with the Environmental Review Technical Panel. B. Conditional Use Permit. A conditional use permit is required to place a retaining wall structure in a shore impact zone or a bluff impact zone or replace an existing failing retaining wall and will not be issued unless; 1. The retaining wall is designed to correct an established shoreland erosion problem; 2. The retaining wall is suitable given the demonstrated shoreland usage needs; 3. The retaining wall may be required to be designed by a registered professional engineer or landscape architect, depending on the scope of the project; and 4. The dimensions of the retaining wall are the minimum necessary to control the shoreland erosion problem. Section 9 Placement and Design of Roads, Driveways, and Parking Areas The following design standards shall be met in the placement and design of roads, driveways and parking areas in shoreland areas. A. Maximum screening. Roads, driveways and parking areas shall be designed to take advantage of natural vegetation and topography to achieve maximum screening from view from public waters. B. Minimize erosion. Roads, driveways and parking areas shall be designed and constructed to minimize and control erosion consistent with the field office technical guides of the Becker County Soil and Water Conservation District, or other applicable technical materials. C. Location. Roads, driveways, and parking areas shall meet structure setbacks and shall not be placed within bluff and shore impact zones when other reasonable and feasible placement alternatives exist. 52
5 If no alternatives exist, they may be placed within these areas but they shall be designed to minimize adverse impacts. D. Watercraft access. Public and commercial watercraft access ramps, approach roads, and accessrelated parking areas may be placed within shore impact zones provided the vegetative screening and erosion control conditions of this Section are met. Commercial facilities shall comply with the topographical change provisions of Chapter 8, Section 14, Land Alteration Permit. Section 10 Storm Water Management Standards Development activities in shoreland areas shall conform to the following stormwater management standards. A. Use of existing natural features preferred. Existing natural drainageways, wetlands, and vegetated soil surfaces shall be used to convey, store, filter, and retain stormwater runoff before discharge to public waters, if possible. B. Performance standards. Development shall be planned and conducted in a manner that will minimize the extent of disturbed areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and reduce and delay runoff volumes. Disturbed areas shall be stabilized and protected as soon as possible and sediment shall be retained on the site. C. Standards for constructed facilities. When development density, topographic features, and soil and vegetation conditions are not sufficient to handle stormwater runoff adequately using natural features and vegetation, various types of constructed facilities such as diversions, settling basins, skimming devices, dikes, waterways, and ponds may be used. 1. Preference shall be given to designs using surface drainage, vegetation, and infiltration rather than buried pipes and man-made materials and facilities. 2. When constructed facilities are used for stormwater management, the application for a building permit shall contain a certification by a registered professional engineer that they will be designed and installed consistent with the field office technical guide of the Becker Soil and Water Conservation District. 3. New constructed stormwater outfalls to public waters shall provide for filtering or settling of suspended solids and skimming of surface debris before discharge. D. Impervious Surface Coverage for Zoning Districts. Impervious surface coverage of lots shall conform to the following limits: 1. Impervious surface coverage shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the lot area for lots in residential, agricultural, high density and water oriented commercial districts. 2. Impervious surface coverage shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the lot area for lots in commercial districts. 3. Impervious surface coverage shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the lot area for lots in industry districts. 4. Impervious surface coverage shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the lot area for lots in special protection districts. 5. If a lot is segregated by a public easement road, the lot area on one side of the public easement road shall not be used to calculate the amount of impervious lot coverage on the opposite side of the public easement road. 53
6 E. Impervious Surface Coverage for Riparian Shoreland Lots: 1. A protective zone shall be established on each lot. The protective zone will be calculated by using the total lot area within 150 feet of the lake. 2. Impervious surface coverage may not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the protection zone area without mitigation as outlined in Chapter 3 Section 11 of this ordinance. 3. Impervious surface coverage exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the protection zone area without mitigation as outlined in Chapter 3 Section 11 must be located outside the protection zone area. 4. Notwithstanding the above, impervious surface coverage for a shoreland lot shall not exceed twenty-five (25%) percent. 5. If a lot is segregated by a public easement road, the lot area on one side of the public easement road shall not be used to calculate the amount of impervious lot coverage on the opposite side of the public easement road. Section 11 Standards for Commercial, Industrial, Public, and Semipublic Uses Surface water-oriented commercial uses and industrial, public, or semipublic uses with similar needs to have access to and use of public waters may be located on parcels or lots with frontage on public waters. Those uses with water-oriented needs shall meet the following standards: A. Screening of parking. In addition to meeting impervious coverage limits, setbacks, and other zoning standards in this Ordinance, the uses shall be designed to incorporate topographic and vegetative screening of parking areas and structures; B. Watercraft facility design. Uses that require short-term watercraft mooring for patrons shall centralize these facilities and design them to avoid obstructions of navigation and to be the minimum size necessary to meet the need; and C. Signs and lighting standards. Uses that depend on patrons arriving by watercraft may use signs and lighting to convey needed information to the public, subject to the following general standards: 1. No advertising signs or supporting facilities for signs may be placed in or upon public waters. Signs conveying information or safety messages may be placed in or on public waters by a public authority or under a permit issued by the county sheriff; 2. Signs may be placed, when necessary, within the shore impact zone if they are designed and sized to be the minimum necessary to convey needed information. They shall only convey the location and name of the establishment and the general types of goods or services available. The signs shall not contain other detailed information such as product brands and prices, shall not be located higher than ten feet (10 ) above the ground, and shall not exceed thirty-two (32) square feet in size. If illuminated by artificial lights, the lights shall be shielded or directed to prevent illumination out across public waters; and 3. Other outside lighting may be located within the shore impact zone or over public waters if it is used primarily to illuminate potential safety hazards and is shielded or otherwise directed to prevent direct illumination out across public waters. This does not preclude use of navigational lights. 54
7 Section 12 Agricultural Use Standards Agricultural uses in shoreland areas shall conform to the following standards. A. Steep slopes, shore and bluff impact zones. Where general cultivation farming, grazing, nurseries, horticulture, truck farming, sod farming, and wild crop harvesting are allowed steep slopes and shore and bluff impact zones shall be maintained in permanent vegetation or operated under an approved conservation plan (Resource Management Systems) consistent with the field office technical guides of the Becker County Soil and Water Conservation District or the United States Soil Conservation Service, as provided by a qualified individual or agency. B. Feedlots. Animal feedlots shall meet the following standards: 1. New feedlots shall not be located in the shoreland of watercourses or in bluff impact zones and shall be at least three hundred feet (300 ) from the ordinary high water level of all public waters basins. 2. Modifications may be made to existing feedlots that are located within three hundred feet (300 ) of the ordinary high water level or within a bluff impact zone if the modifications do not extend the feedlot closer to the ordinary high water level setback or further into the bluff impact zone. 3. A certificate of compliance, interim permit, or animal feedlot permit, when required by Minnesota Regulations, parts to , shall be obtained by the owner or operator of an animal feedlot. Section 13 Forest Management Standards The harvesting of timber and associated reforestation within shoreland areas, but outside shore impact zones, shall be conducted consistent with the provisions of the Minnesota Nonpoint Source Pollution Assessment-Forestry and the provisions of Water Quality in Forest Management "Best Management Practices in Minnesota." Within shore impact zones, these activities require a conditional use permit. Section 14 Alterations within Public Waters Any alteration to the bed of public waters, including construction of channels, ditches, lagoons dredging of bottom, muck or weeds or filling in a lake or river bed, including marshlands shall receive approval by the State Commissioner of Natural Resources, the County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners before the start of operations 55
