Planning & Zoning Board May 14, 2003 Laumeyer Variance ANALYSIS Shoreland Ordinance The Shoreland Management Overlay Ordinance was adopted by the City of Lino Lakes in response to Minnesota Statute requirements. The Ordinance applies to land ( "shoreland ") located within 1,000 feet of the OHWL of the public water bodies noted within the ordinance. Lake Amelia is classified as a Natural Environment Lake under the Shoreland Ordinance, and as such, requires all structures maintain a 150 -foot setback from the OHWL, which is defined as 908.10. The existing house has a setback of 90 feet. The proposed addition, which would be on the north side of the home, would have approximately the same setback. The Shoreland Ordinance directs that all additions /expansions to nonconforming structures "must meet the setback, height, and other requirements of (the) ordinance. Any deviation from these requirements must be authorized by a variance." Zoning & Land Use The following chart summarizes the zoning and land use designations for the subject property, as well as surrounding properties: Location Guided Land Use Zoning Subject Site Rural Land Use Rural Executive (R -X) North " East Lake Amelia Lake Amelia South Rural Land Use Rural Executive (R -X) West Low Density, Sewered Residential Rural (R) The property is somewhat isolated, with the nearest neighboring house located south of the subject property at the intersection of Ash Street and Centerville Road.

Septic Issues The Shoreland Ordinance also specifies a 150 -foot setback from the OHWL for the septic system of properties located within the Shoreland Overlay District of a Natural Environment Lake. The septic system for the subject property is located southeast of the house and is non - conforming in that it does not meet the required setback, being approximately 80 feet from the OHWL. 2
