The proposed development is consistent with the proposed land use but is not consistent with the anticipated areas allocated to each use. Surrounding Land Uses: 411 Shoreland Management Overlay District: All areas within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHWL) are subject to the Shoreland Management Regulations. Nearly all of this development falls within the Shoreland Overlay, as determined by the OHW of Rice Lake, a Natural Environment Lake. Because there is public land between the proposed lots and the OHW, none of the lots are considered abutting and thus, the regulations aren't as restrictive. However, there is a 150 foot setback requirement from the OHW for all structures. This creates an issue for Lots 12 -16 and Lots 25 and 26. There is not adequate space to meet the setbacks and accommodate a reasonable house pad. An analysis of density as it relates to the Shoreland Ordinance needs to be provided by the applicant. This exercise identifies the density as it relates to the suitable land area and is required under the PDO. Greenway: The draft Comprehensive Plan identifies areas for greenways. The greenway areas adjacent to this property are currently public land and thus are already protected. In addition, the wetland areas will be encumbered by a drainage and utility easement. Environmental Board Review: The Environmental Board reviewed the application and their comments are attached. The comments submitted by the Board related to curbing are in conflict with the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations. 2 Comprehensive Plan Existing Comprehensive Plan Proposed Existing Zoning Site Rural Low /Medium Density and Commercial R -1 North Public open space Public open space Public East Urban residential Low /medium density R -1 South Multiple family Commercial R -3 West Public open space Public open space Public 411 Shoreland Management Overlay District: All areas within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water level (OHWL) are subject to the Shoreland Management Regulations.
