The buildings represent further development of an existing beach facility area. The site is within the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve (the Park). The Park is zoned PSP Public Semi - Public. Public parks and recreation facilities as well as all public county government buildings are permitted uses in this zoning district. The site is within a shoreland overlay district as well, so shoreland regulations apply. All buildings are well under the 45' maximum height allowed by the zoning ordinance. Because the facilities are within the large Park, the site plan meets the maximum building coverage and minimum green space requirements for the zoning district, which are both 35 %. The shoreland maximum coverage of 60% also is not a problem. The shoreland ordinance classifies Centerville Lake as a recreational development lake and requires a setback of 75' from the ordinary high water level. The ordinary high water level has not been specifically determined for Centerville Lake. However, staff from the MN Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) notes that the ordinary high water level is stable and is about the same as the shoreline on this lake. The buildings are over 140' from the shoreline at the closest point. Building permit applications will be reviewed by the City Building Inspector. Structures: There are four structures to be built. A gazebo, multi - purpose building, and restroom building will be clustered around a concrete patio area. This cluster will connect to the beach and parking lot with concrete walkways. A picnic shelter will be separate with its own walk to the parking area. The gazebo (see drawing A3, lower center)) will be a 20' x 20' square with a concrete floor and an open roof reaching a height of 13 feet. The support columns will be covered with cedar lap siding. The multi - purpose building (drawing A6) is 20' x 20' with a two -foot roof overhang all around. The pitched roof will have asphalt shingles and will peak at a height of about 14'. Cedar lap siding (horizontal, 1" overlap, 7" exposed) will cover the exterior walls.
