Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
('Ibis checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
Page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latent printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date
volume. The letters "OC' indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page
has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.

PREFACE
This volume is a republication of the general and permanent ordinances of
the City of Eagan, Minnesota, originally published in 1983. The original
arrangement and the original numbering system have been retained. New
state law references have been added and existing references were verified and
updated. A state law reference table was prepared. In this publication, a
uniform style of punctuation and capitalization has been employed. Obvious
typographical errors and misspellings have been corrected without notation.
Source materials used in the preparation of this Code were the 1983
publication, as amended, a legal analysis of the 1983 publication, and ordi-
nances subsequently adopted by the city council. The source of each section is
included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The
absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the
first time with the adoption of the Code. By use of the comparative tables
appearing.. in the back of this Code, the reader can locate any ordinance
included herein...
The various sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate
usage. Notes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to
relevant state law have been included. A table listing the state law citations
and setting forth their location within the Code is included at the back of this
Code.
Chapter and Section Numbering System
The chapter and section numbering system used in this Code is the same
system used in many state and local government codes. Each section number
consists of two parts separated by a point. The figure before the point refers to
the chapter number, and the figure after the point refers to the position of the
section within the chapter. Thus, the second section of chapter 1 is numbered
1.02, and the first section of chapter 6 is 6.01. Under this system, each section
is identified with its chapter, and at the same time new sections can be inserted
in their proper place by using the decimal system for amendments. For
example, if new material consisting of one section that would logically come
between sections 6.01 and 6.02 is desired to be added, such new section would
be numbered 6.01.5. New articles and new divisions may be included in the
same way or, in the case of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter
embracing the subject, and, in the case of divisions, may be placed at the end
of the article embracing the subject. The next successive number shall be
assigned to the new article or division. New chapters may be included in the
same manner. If the new material is to be included between chapters 12 and
13, it will be designated as chapter 12.5.
vii
Page Numbering System
The page numbering system used in this Code is a prefix system. The
letters to the left of the colon are an abbreviation which represents a certain
portion of the volume. The number to the right of the colon represents the
number of the page in that portion. In the case of a chapter of the Code, the
number to the left of the colon indicates the number of the chapter. In the case
of an appendix to the Code, the letter immediately to the left of the colon
indicates the letter of the appendix. The following are typical parts of codes of
ordinances, which may or may not appear in this Code at this time, and their
corresponding prefixes:

Index
The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular
item has been placed under several headings, some of which are couched in lay
phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally
used by local government officials and employees. There are numerous cross
references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user
to the particular item in which the user is interested.
Looseleaf Supplements
A special feature of this publication is the looseleaf system of binding and
supplemental servicing of the publication. With this system, the publication
will be kept up-to-date. Subsequent amendatory legislation will be properly
edited, and the affected page or pages will be reprinted. These new pages will
be distributed to holders of copies of the publication, with instructions for the
manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.
Keeping this publication up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon
the holder of the publication. As revised pages are received, it will then become
the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to
the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publisher that all
such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing
them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical
reference purposes.
Acknowledgments
This publication was under the direct supervision of Milt Lefkoff, Super-
vising Editor, and Jody S. Wilson, Editor, of the Municipal Code Corporation,

The following paragraphs are reprinted from the Foreword of the 1983
publication:
This book contains a codification of the ordinances of the City of
Eagan pursuant to authority granted the City Council by Minnesota
Statutes, Section 415.021. It is known and may be cited as the "City
Code".
In this codification, most of the original ordinances have lost their
identity and are referred to by Chapter, Section, Subdivision, etc.
rather than by a number indicating the sequence in which they were
adopted. They have also been supplemented by other essential legis-
lative items. Certain ordinances retain their number and effective
dates because of the nature of the subject matter contained therein.
A complete codification of the proportions desired is a difficult and
lengthy task, but the effort will be well -rewarded if it is found that the
City Code accomplishes (1) the elimination of repetition and non-
essentials; (2) easy revision and incorporation of each new ordinance
or amendment; (3) comprehensiveness; and, (4) the ease of locating a
particular subject or provision.
The reader will find in this book a topical Analysis and a
Sub -Analysis, followed by a full text of the City Code. This physical
layout is designed to make local laws more accessible to the layman
for it is closest to him and touches his life every day. The City Code is
dedicated to this purpose.

Stat. § 168B.04, subd. 2, without the consent of the person in control of
the property; and
(b) Lacks vital component parts or is in an inoperable condition such that it has,
no substantial potential for further use consistent with its usual functions,
unless it is kept in an enclosed garage or storage building.
A classic car or pioneer car, as defined in Minn. Stat. § 168.10, is not considered
an abandoned vehicle.
Vehicles on the premises of junkyards or automobile graveyards that are defined,
maintained and licensed in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 161.242 or that are
licensed and maintained in accordance with local laws and zoning regulations are
not considered abandoned vehicles.
A vehicle being held for storage by agreement or being held under police authority
or pursuant to a writ or court order is not considered abandoned, nor may it be
processed as abandoned while the police hold, writ or court order is in effect.
2. Vital component parts means those parts of a motor vehicle that are essential to
the mechanical functioning of the vehicle, including, but not limited to, the motor,
drive train and wheels.
B. Custody. The city may take into custody and impound any abandoned motor vehicle.
C. Immediate sale. When an abandoned motor vehicle is more than seven model years of
age, is lacking vital component parts, and does not display a license plate currently
valid in Minnesota or any other state or foreign country, it shall immediately be
eligible for sale at public auction and shall not be subject to the notification,
reclamation or title provisions of this subdivision.
D. Notice.
1. When an abandoned motor vehicle does not fall within the provisions of
subparagraph C of this subdivision, the city shall give notice of the taking within
CD2:13
§ 2.70 EAGAN CODE
ten days. The notice shall set forth the date and place of the taking, the year,
make, model and serial number of the abandoned motor vehicle, if such
information can be reasonably obtained, and the place where the vehicle is being
held, shall inform the owner and any lienholder of their right to reclaim the
vehicle under subparagraph E of this subdivision, and shall state that failure of
the owner or lienholder to exercise their right to reclaim the vehicle and contents
shall be deemed a waiver by them of all rights, title and interest in the vehicle
and a consent to the sale of the vehicle and contents at a public auction pursuant
to subparagraph F of this subdivision.
2. The notice shall be sent by mail to the registered owner, if any, of the abandoned
motor vehicle and to all readily identifiable lienholders of record. If it is
impossible to determine with reasonable certainty the identity and address of the
registered owner and all lienholders, the notice shall be published once in the
official newspaper. Published notices may be grouped together for convenience
and economy.
E. Right to reclaim.
1. The owner or any lienholder of an abandoned motor vehicle shall have a right to
reclaim such vehicle from the city upon payment of all towing and storage charges
resulting from taking the vehicle into custody within 15 days after the date of the

keeper under the laws of this state, or the right of the lienholder to foreclose. For.

place or establishment, an operator of a motor vehicle storage facility, or an
operator of an establishment for the servicing, repair or maintenance of motor
vehicles.

under subparagraph E of this subdivision shall be sold to the highest bidder at
public auction or sale, following one published notice published at least seven
days prior to such auction or sale. The purchaser shall be given a receipt in a form
prescribed by the registrar of motor vehicles, which shall be sufficient title to
dispose of the vehicle. The receipt shall also entitle the purchaser to register the
vehicle and receive a certificate of title, free and clear of all liens and claims of
ownership. Before such a vehicle is issued a new certificate of title, it must receive
a motor vehicle safety check
2. From the proceeds of the sale of an abandoned motor vehicle, the city shall
reimburse itself for the cost of towing, preserving and storing the vehicle and all
administrative, notice and publication costs incurred pursuant to this subdivi-
sion. Any remainder from the proceeds of a sale shall be held for the owner of the
vehicle or entitled lienholder for 90 days and then shall be deposited in the

infiltration and surface water as may be present.
B. Industrial waste means any liquid, gaseous or solid waste substance resulting from
any process of industry, manufacturing, trade or business, or from development of any
natural resources.
C. Sewer system includes all street lateral, main and intersecting sewers and structures
by which sewage or industrial wastes are collected, transported, treated and disposed
of; provided that this shall not include plumbing inside or a part of a building or
premises served, or service sewers from a building to the street lateral.
D. Sewerage service means the use of and benefit from the sewer system, including the
collection, transportation, pumping, treatment and final disposal of sewage.
Subd 2. Metered water not discharged. If a portion of the water furnished to any premises
is not directly or indirectly discharged into the sewer system, the quantity of such water shall
be deducted in computing the sewerage service charge or rental, provided a separate meter
shall be installed and operated to register the quantity not so discharged into the sewer
system. Provided also, that where it is not practicable to meter the portion• of the water not
discharged into the sewer system, such adjustment may be made as shall be fair and equitable
in order to determine the amount of such service charge or rental; but until such adjustment
shall be effected that water consumption basis hereinbefore prescribed shall remain in full
force and effect.
Subd 3. Classification of industrial wastes. The city shall have the power to classify the
industrial wastes from any lot, parcel of land, building or premises discharged therefrom into
the sewer system of the city, taking into consideration the quantity of sewage produced and its
concentration, strength of river pollution qualities in general and of any other factors entering
into the cost of its disposal, for the purpose of fixing and prescribing a distinct rate of rental
or use charge, should it be found that as to such sewer uses the water basis consumption does
not provide a practicable method in the premises, but until so determined and such distinct
rate fixed, the water consumption basis hereinbefore prescribed shall remain in full force and
effect as to such commercial or industrial users.
Subd 4. Deleterious substances. No sewage, including industrial wastes, shall contain
any substance which is deemed deleterious by the city to the operation of the sewer system or
to any plant or facilities used in the treatment or disposal of such sewage. If a user of the sewer
system discharges excessive loads or any deleterious substances therein which are likely to
retard or injuriously affect sewerage operations, he shall discontinue such practice, and such
CD3:13
§ 3.40
EAGAN CODE
practice is hereby declared to be a violation of this section. Each day of such violation
continuing after the violator having been notified in writing by the city administrator to
discontinue such practice shall be deemed a separate violation.

shall permit the discharge of normal sewage or industrial waste into its sanitary sewer system
only when the owner of such premises or some other interested person shall at his own expense
installs and maintains for the purpose of metering such water supply a water meter of
equivalent specifications to those installed by the city in connection with the city water system.
Each water meter shall be installed to measure all water received on such premises, and the
above charges and rates shall be applied to the quantity of water received as measured by such
meter. If, because of the nature of the source of the water supply, the city deems it
impracticable to thus meter the water on any premises, the council may by resolution establish
a flat charge per month in accordance with the estimated use of water on such premises.

sewerage service pipe and connections. The minimum size, when placed underground, shall be
four inches in diameter.
Subd. 8. Additional rules and regulations. The council may, by resolution, adopt such

and, if applicable, pay the investigation fee. Upon rejection of any application for a
license or upon withdrawal of an application before approval of the issuance by the

of the state, as the case may be, and upon payment of the license fee. All licenses shall

be paid with the application shall be a pro rata share of the annual license fee.

the time of original application and section 5.05 has not been violated. It is unlawful
to make any transfer in violation of this subparagraph.

BEER, WINE AND LIQUOR LICENSING AND REGULATION § 5.02
violation. One copy of the report shall be given to the chief of police, the licensee, and
the city clerk, respectively. A violation by an officer, employee or agent of the licensee
shall be deemed to be a violation by the licensee.
G. Hearing. A hearing may be conducted before the city upon the recommendation of the
chief of police or the city clerk, except that a hearing before the council shall be
mandatory in the event that the city clerk records three violations in one year or four
violations in a three-year period. The period of one year or three years shall begin
from the date of the first violation to be counted and shall not be based on calendar
years. The purpose for the hearing shall be to determine whether a violation has
occurred and the penalty to be imposed. For the purpose of this hearing, a conviction
on any criminal charge shall be conclusive of the fact that a violation has occurred;
however, an acquittal shall not be conclusive that a violation did not occur. The council
may, in its sole discretion, appoint an independent hearing examiner to conduct a
hearing under the Administrative Procedures Act and determine whether a violation
has occurred; however, the penalty shall in all cases be determined by the council. No
suspension or revocation shall take effect, nor civil fine imposed, until the licensee has
been afforded a hearing as provided for in this subparagraph. Such hearing shall be
called by the council upon written notice to the licensee served in person or by
certified mail not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the hearing date, stating
the date, time and purpose thereof.

license granted under the provisions of this chapter or impose a civil fine not to exceed
$2,000.00, for each violation on a finding that the licensee has committed a violation
as defined in subparagraph F of this subdivision. In the event of a revocation of a
license, the licensee must reapply for a license and meet the requirements for a license
under this chapter. In the event that a fine imposed pursuant to this subparagraph is
not paid within 15 days of its imposition by the council, the license shall be
permanently suspended until the fine is paid.
I. Additional restrictions. As additional restrictions or regulations on licensees under
this chapter, and in addition to grounds for revocation or suspension stated in the City
Code or statute, the following shall also be grounds for such action: (1) that the
licensee suffered or permitted illegal acts upon licensed premises unrelated to the sale
of beer, wine or liquor; (2) that the licensee had knowledge of such illegal acts upon
licensed premises, but failed to report the same to police; (3) that the licensee failed
or refused to cooperate fully with police in investigating such alleged illegal acts upon
licensed premises; or (4) that the activities of the licensee created a serious danger to
public health, safety, or welfare.
J. Corporate applicants and licensees. A corporate applicant, at the time of application,
shall furnish the city with a list of all persons that have an interest in such
corporation and the extent of such interest. The list shall name all shareholders and
show the number of shares held by each, either individually or beneficially for others.
CD5:7
ti 5.02 EAGAN CODE
It is the duty of each corporate licensee to notify the city clerk -treasurer in writing of
any change in legal ownership or beneficial interest in such corporation or in such
shares. Any change in the ownership or beneficial interest in the shares entitled to be
voted at a meeting of the shareholders of a corporate licensee, which results in the
change of voting control of the corporation by the persons owning the shares therein,
shall be deemed equivalent to a transfer of the license issued to the corporation, and
any such license shall be revoked 30 days after any such change in ownership or
beneficial interest of shares unless the council has been notified of the change in
writing and has approved it by appropriate action. The council or any officer of the city
designated by it may at any reasonable time examine the stock transfer records and
minute books of any corporate licensee in order to verify and identify the sharehold-
ers, and the council or its designated officer may examine the business records of any
other licensee to the extent necessary to disclose the interest which persons other
than the licensee have in the licensed business. The council may revoke any license
issued upon its determination that a change of ownership of shares in a corporate
licensee or any change of ownership of any interest in the business of any other
licensee has actually resulted in the change of control of the licensed business so as
materially to affect the integrity and character of its management and its operation,
but no such action shall be taken until after a hearing by the council on notice to the
licensee.
Subd. 5. Duplicate licenses. Duplicates of all original licenses under this chapter may be
issued by the city clerk -treasurer without action by the council, upon licensee's affidavit that
the original has been lost, and upon payment of a fee of S2.00 for issuance of the duplicate. All
duplicate licenses shall be clearly marked "Duplicate."
Subd. 6. Posting. All licensees shall conspicuously post their licenses in their places of
business.
Subd. 7. Resident manager or agent. Before a license is issued under this chapter to an
individual who is a nonresident of the state, to more than one individual whether or not they
are residents of the state, or to a corporation, partnership, or association, the applicant or
applicants shall appoint in writing a natural person who is a resident of the state as its
manager or agent. Such resident manager or agent shall, by the terms of his written consent
(1) take full responsibility for the conduct of the licensed premises, and (2) serve as agent for
service of notices and other process relating to the license. Such manager or agent must be a
person who, by reason of age, character, reputation, and other attributes, could qualify
individually as a licensee. If such manager or agent ceases to be a resident of the state or
ceases to act in such capacity for the licensee without appointment of a successor, the license
issued pursuant to such appointment shall be subject to revocation or suspension.
Subd. 8. Persons disqualified.
A. No license under this chapter may be issued to: (1) a person not a citizen of the United

LAND USE REGULATIONS (ZONING) § 11.10
(c) The planting of trees for mitigation shall be in addition to any other
landscape requirements of the city.
(d) Significant tree replacements will be calculated by replacing the largest
diameter tree first, proceeding down to the smallest diameter significant
tree.
5. Required protective measures. The tree preservation plan shall identify and
require the following measures to be utilized to protect significant trees, speci-
men trees, and significant woodlands:
(a) Installation of snow fencing or polyethylene laminate safety netting placed at
the drip line or at the perimeter of the critical root zone (CRZ), whichever is
greater, of significant trees, specimen trees, and significant woodlands to be
preserved. No grade change, construction activity, or storage of materials
shall occur within this fenced area.
(b) Identification of any oak trees requiring pruning between April 15 and July
1. Any oak trees so pruned shall be required to have any cut areas sealed with
an appropriate nontoxic tree wound sealant.
(c) Prevention of change in soil chemistry due to concrete washout and leakage
or spillage of toxic materials, such as fuels or paints.
6. Additional protective measures. The following tree protection measures are
suggested to protect significant trees, specimen trees, and significant woodlands
that are intended to be preserved according to the submitted tree preservation
plan and may be required by the city:
(a) Installation of retaining walls or tree wells to preserve trees.
(b) Placement of utilities in common trenches outside of the drip line of
significant trees, or use of tunneled installation.
(c) Use of tree root aeration, fertilization, and/or irrigation systems.
(d) Transplanting of significant trees into a protected area for later moving into
permanent sites within the construction area.
(e) Therapeutic pruning.
7. Review process. The tree preservation plan shall be reviewed by the city to assess
the best possible layout to preserve significant trees, specimen trees, and
significant woodlands and to enhance the efforts to minimize damage to specimen
trees, significant trees and significant woodlands. The applicant shall meet with
city staff prior to submission of the development application or prior to applica-
tion for the grading permit, whichever is sooner, to determine the most feasible
and practical placement of buildings, parking, driveways, streets, storage and
other physical features, in order that the fewest significant trees, specimen trees,
and significant woodlands are destroyed or damaged.
8. Performance guarantee. Any applicant of a new development shall provide the
required performance guarantee following preliminary approval of the tree
CD11:29
§ 11.10
EAGAN CODE
preservation plan and prior to any construction and/or grading. The amount of
the performance guarantee to be submitted, specific to the tree preservation
fulfillments, shall be calculated as follows:
(a) Unless the applicant provides tree mitigation in the form of cash dedication,
100 percent of the cost of completing tree replacement mitigation as
determined by the city;
(b) An amount to guarantee preservation of all trees, identified by the approved
tree preservation plan to be preserved, within 15 feet of the construction zone
(measured from the construction unit to the nearest side of the tree). The
amount shall be calculated by multiplying the total diameter inches of
significant trees and specimen trees to be preserved within this 15-foot zone
by the rate of payment of $25.00 per diameter inch and the total square feet
of significant woodlands to be preserved within the 15-foot zone by the rate
of 51.20 per square foot.
No performance guarantee shall be required for applicants of building permits of
single-family residential units.
Following written request by the applicant for acceptance, the performance
guarantee will be released upon verification by the city that the tree preservation
plan was followed and that the tree replacement schedule was complied with
where necessary, but in no event shall the performance guarantee be released
earlier than one year after the date of the project closure.
9. Removal of diseased trees required. Prior to any grading, all diseased, hazardous,
and nuisance trees on the subject property shall be identified by the city forester
or city tree inspector in accordance with the tree disease control and prevention
regulations of the City Code. Any and all diseased and nuisance trees so identified
shall be removed from the property, at the time of grading, if so directed.
10. Compliance with plan. The applicant shall implement the tree preservation plan
prior to and during any construction. The tree protection measures shall remain
in place until all grading and construction activity is terminated, or until a
request is made to and approved by the city forester.
No significant trees, specimen trees, or significant woodlands shall be removed
until a tree preservation plan is approved and except in accordance with the
approved tree preservation plan as approved by the city. If a significant tree(s),
specimen tree(s) or any significant woodland that was intended to be preserved is
removed without permission of the city forester or damaged so that it is in a state
of decline within one year from date of project closure, a cash mitigation,
calculated per diameter inch of the removed/destroyed tree or per total square
foot of significant woodlands, in the amount set forth in the city fee schedule,
shall be remitted to the city.
The city shall have the right to inspect the development and/or building site in
order to determine compliance with the approved tree preservation plan. The city
shall determine whether compliance with the tree preservation plan has been
met.

Sec. 11.21. Shoreland zoning.
Subd. 1. Purpose and intent. The, unregulated use of shorelands within the city contrib-
utes to the pollution of public waters and impairment of the local tax base, thereby threatening
the public health, safety and general welfare. Therefore, it is in the best interests of public
health, safety and welfare to regulate the use and development of shorelands of public waters
to preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural
environmental values of shorelands, and provide for effective and efficient use of waters and
related land resources.
Subd. 2. Scope. The provisions of this section shall apply to conduct, including, but not
limited to, the use of any shoreland of public waters; the size and shape of shoreland lots; the
use, size, type and location of structures on shoreland lots; the installation and maintenance
of water supply and waste treatment systems; the grading and filling of any shoreland area;
the cutting of shoreland vegetation; and the subdivision of land which has shoreland area.

C. Variances.
1. No variance may be granted except in accordance with Minn. Stat. ch. 462 and
the provisions of this chapter. A variance shall not circumvent the general
purposes and intent of this section. No variance may be granted that would allow
any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which the subject property is
located. Conditions may be imposed in the granting of a variance to ensure
compliance with this chapter, and to protect adjacent properties and the public
interest. In considering a variance request, the city council will also consider
whether the property owner has reasonable use of the land without the variance,
whether the property is used seasonally or yearround, whether the variance is
beingrequested solely on the basis of economic considerations, and the charac-
teristics of development on adjacent properties.
2. The city shall hear and decide requests for variances, including variances for
sewage treatment systems in shoreland districts, in accordance with the zoning
provisions governing variances. When a variance is approved after the depart-
ment of natural resources has formally recommended denial in the hearing
record, the notification of the approved variance required therein shall also
include the summary of the public record/testimony and the findings of facts and
conclusions which supported the issuance of the variance.
3. For existing developments, the application for variance shall clearly demonstrate
whether a conforming sewage treatment system is present for the intended use of
the property. All variances granted shall require reconstruction of a nonconform-
ing sewage treatment system.
D. Notifications to the department of natural resources.
1. The DNR shall be given notice of all requests for variances from the provisions of
this section, and such noticeshall be postmarked ten days prior to any hearing on
the variance request.
2. Copies of all notices of any public hearings to consider variances, amendments,
planned development or conditional uses under shoreland management controls
shall be sent to the DNR or the DNR's designated representative and postmarked
at least ten days prior to the hearing. Notices of hearings to consider proposed
preliminary plats shall include copies thereof.
3. A copy of approved amendments and subdivisions/plats, and final decisions
granting variances, planned developments, or conditional uses under shoreland
management controls must be sent to the DNR or the DNR's designated
representative and postmarked within ten days of final action.
Subd. 7. Shoreland classification and shoreland use districts.

A. Lots for controlled accesses. Lots used for controlled accesses to public waters or as
recreation areas by owners of nonriparian lots within subdivisions shall meet or
exceed the following standards:
1. Lots shall meet the minimum width and area requirements for residential lots
and be suitable for the intended uses;
2. In the event docking, mooring, or over -water storage of more than six watercraft
is present on a controlled access lot, the width of the lot (keeping the same lot
depth) shall be increased by 25 percent in lot frontage for each watercraft beyond
six;
3. Lots shall be jointly or commonly owned by all purchasers of lots in the
subdivision or by all purchasers of nonriparian lots in the subdivision who are
provided riparian access rights on the access lot in a manner acceptable to the
city and the DNR; and
4. Land covenants or other equally effective legal instruments shall be executed and
provide the following restrictions:
(a) Lot owners have authority to use the access lot and what activities are
allowed. The activities may include watercraft launching, loading, storage,
beaching, mooring, or docking. They may also include other outdoor recre-
ational activities that do not significantly conflict with general public use of
the public water or the enjoyment or normal property rights of adjacent
property owners. Examples of the nonsignificant conflict activities include
swimming, sunbathing, or picnicking.
(b) The total number of vehicles allowed to be parked on the lot.
(c) The total number of watercraft allowed to be continuously moored, ducked, or
stored over water.
(d) Centralization of all common facilities and activities in the most suitable

(e) All parking areas, storage buildings, and other facilities to be screened by
vegetation or topography as much as practical from view from the public
water.
13. Placement and design of structures. When more than one setback applies to a site,
structures and facilities must be located to meet all setbacks. Where structures exist
on the adjoining lots of a proposed building site, structure setbacks required for a new
proposed building or an addition to an existing building may be altered without a
variance to conform to the average setbacks on the adjoining lots from the ordinary
high water level, provided the proposed building site is not located in a shore impact
zone or bluff impact zone.
C. Floodplain regulations.
1. Structures shall be located in accordance with the floodplain regulations of the
City Code.

LAND USE REGULATIONS (ZONING) § 11.21
F. Residential and commercial planned development use. The procedures for determin-
ing the base density of a PD and density increase multipliers are as follows:
1. Residential PD base density evaluation. The suitable area within each tier is
divided by the minimum single residential lot size standard for lakes to
determine the maximum permitted density. Proposed locations and number of
dwelling units or sites for residential planned developments are then compared
with the tier, density, and suitability analyses herein and thedesign criteria in
subparagraph H, below.
2. Commercial PD base density evaluation.
(a) Determine the average inside living area size of dwelling units or sites within
each tier, including both existing and proposed units and sites. Computation
of inside living area sizes shall not include decks, patios, stoops, steps,
garages, or porches and basements, unless they are habitable space.
(b) Select the appropriate floor area ratio from the following table:

(c) Multiply the suitable area within each tier by the floor area ratio to yield
total floor area for each tier allowed to be used for dwelling units or sites.
(d) Divide the total floor area by tier, computed in item 2 above, by the average
inside living area size determined in item 1 above, to determine a base
number of dwelling units and sites for each tier.
(e) Allowable densities may be transferred from any tier to any other tier further
from the water body, but shall not be transferred to any other tier closer.
3. Proposed locations and number of dwelling units or sites for the commercial
planned development are then compared with the tier, density and.suitability
analyses herein. and the design criteria as provided in this division. •

2. A variance from setback requirements must be obtained before any use, sewage
treatment system, or building permit is issued for a lot. In evaluating the
variance, the board of adjustment shall consider sewage treatment and water
supply capabilities or constraints of the lot and shall deny the variance if
adequate facilities cannot be provided.
3. If, in a group of two or more contiguous lots under the same ownership, any
individual lot does not meet the shoreland dimensional requirements of this
section, then the lot shall not be considered as a separate parcel of land for the
