2 deep house pad with the garage/driveway on the south. The proposed house plan is 64 feet wide x 75 feet deep (this includes a 3 stall garage).

The subject site, 6650 Enid Trail, is located within 1,000 feet of Rice Lake and is in the Shoreland Management Overlay district (Attachment #2). The maximum allowed impervious surface is 30%. Shoreland Management The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) is the state agency that administers Minnesota Administrative Rule, Chapter 6120, Shoreland and Floodplain Management. MNDNR drafted a model Shoreland Management Ordinance that was adopted in 1995 by the City as required by State Statute 103F.201 to 103F.221. The City ordinance is Chapter 1102: Shoreland Management Overlay and the City is responsible for administration of the ordinance. The City and MNDNR work together in reviewing shoreland land use applications such as variances. Per the City’s Shoreland Management Overlay ordinance: Section 1102.01Statutory Authorization and Policy: (1) Statutory authorization. Local government units are required to adopt shoreland management ordinances in M.S. §§ 103F.201 to 103F.221, as it may be amended from time to time. This Shoreland Overlay District chapter is adopted pursuant to these authorizations and policies and the planning and zoning enabling legislation in M.S. Ch. 462, as it may be amended from time to time. (2) Policies. The uncontrolled use of shorelands of the city affects the public health, safety and general welfare not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. The Legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments of the state to regulate the subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters and thus preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land
