Perkins contend that the proposed septic system is in compliance with those standards, and appellants <br />do not detail their assertion that the proposed septic system does not meet those standards. <br />As to DNR approval, the DNR letters articulate the DNR's standards, including the 100 -foot shoreland <br />setback. Minnesota Rules explain that: <br />These minimum standards and criteria apply to those shorelands of public waters of the state which are <br />subject to local government land use controls. They are intended to be incorporated into local government <br />shoreland management controls. Each local government is responsible for administration and <br />enforcement of its shoreland management controls adopted in compliance with these standards and <br />criteria. <br />Minn. R. 6120. 2800, subp. 1 (1997). Variances are granted in accordance with statute. Minn. R. <br />6120.3900, subp. 3 (1997). It is precisely because one of the lots does not meet the DNR 100 -foot <br />setback as required by city ordinance that a variance is required. We conclude that the city did not grant <br />the variances arbitrarily or capriciously. <br />DECISION <br />There is no evidence of a disqualifying conflict of interest so as to invalidate the city's preliminary plat <br />approval. The city's approval of related variances satisfied the statutory requirements for undue hardship <br />and was not arbitrary or capricious. <br />Affirmed. <br />- 3 2 - <br />
