It should be noted that the City of Little Canada must submit to the DNR a copy of its subdivision regulation prior to receiving State approval of its shoreland regulations. SECTION 917.090 NOTIFICATIONS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES This section of the draft Shoreland Ordinance reiterates language offered in the Model Ordinance and is highly similar to notification requirements presently incorporated in the City's existing ordinance. As presently required by ordinance, notices to consider, variances, amendments, or conditional use permits must be sent to the DNR ten days prior to hearings. SECTION 917.100 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS (PUDs) While the City's existing Shoreland Ordinance does regulate PUDS, its provisions are quite limited in comparison to that included in the Model Ordinance. All applicable provisions of the Model Ordinance have been reiterated in the attached draft ordinance. It should be noted, however, that reference to natural environment lakes and rivers is not applicable to Little Canada and therefore has been deleted. SECTION 917.110 DEVELOPMENT ON SUBSTANDARD LOTS The City's existing Shoreland Ordinance differs from the Model Ordinance by allowing development (without variance) on substandard lots which have not been in separate ownership from abutting lands since they became substandard. While the City's ordinance does provide for development upon substandard lots, such development would be subject to numerous performance standards intended to ensure environmental quality. These standards include, but are not limited to: * Minimum width (50 feet) and area (7,500 square feet) requirements. * Lot does not require on -site sewage treatment. * Grading and drainage plan submission. 5 Page 23
