of the City's Shoreland Ordinance. <br />Structure Height. Structures within the Shoreland Overlay District are restricted to <br />a height of 35 feet or less. Again, a number of existing and commercial <br />developments that would be within the Shoreland Overlay District exceed 35 feet <br />in height. These structures would be classified as non - conformities, limiting their <br />future expansion and use potential. <br />The City is requesting flexibility to allow the maximum height requirement to exceed <br />by CUP/ Shoreland Impact Plan approval. As with lot coverage, structures in <br />excess of 35 feet in height would be classified as non - conforming uses until such <br />time as a CUP /Shoreland Impact Plan is approved. <br />In summary, the proposed revisions to the Little Canada Shoreland Ordinance make the <br />regulations more consistent with the requirements established by the DNR. In the <br />application of these revisions to developed areas, the City is requesting flexibility <br />regarding the designated tributaries, and lot coverage and width requirements. The <br />requests for flexibility address existing conditions within the City. As such the strict <br />application of shoreland regulations to the St. Paul Water Works right -of -way may <br />represent an undue hardship to properties affected. <br />If you have any questions regarding Little Canada's Shoreland Ordinance revisions or the <br />requests for flexiblity, please contact Stephen Grittman, the City's Planning Consultant, at <br />(612) 595 -9626. Thank you in advace for your assistance and consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Attachments: <br />Exhibit A: <br />Exhibit B: <br />City Map <br />Draft Ordinance Revision <br />Page 30 <br />
