City of Mounds View <br />1010.07 1010.07 (Rev. 8/97) <br /> <br /> <br /> a. Rationale for Density Standards: The following regulations are required to control the <br />density of development in wetland zoning districts. The purpose of controlling development <br />density is to reduce the financial burdens imposed on the community through rescue and <br />relief efforts occasioned by the occupancy or use of areas subject to periodic flooding, to <br />minimize loss of life, property damage and the losses and risks associated with flood <br />conditions and to minimize the detrimental effects of urbanization on the wildlife habitat, <br />water quality enhancement, recreational and aesthetic values of wetlands. <br /> <br /> (1) Minimum Lot Size: Twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. <br /> <br /> (2) Minimum Lot Width: One hundred twenty five feet (125') as measured at the <br />building setback line. <br /> <br /> (3) Building Setback: <br /> <br /> (a) All buildings, including accessory buildings, as defined in Title 1100 of this <br />Code, shall be set back at least one hundred feet (100') from the wetland, except as <br />allowed by an approved wetland alteration permit or approved wetland buffer permit <br />as provided in Section 1010.08. (Ord. 602, 8-25-97) <br /> <br />Subd. 4. Existing Nonconforming Buildings and Parcels: Any building or structure situated on an <br />existing parcel of record, as of the original date of enactment of this Chapter, that does not <br />meet the requirements of this Chapter shall be considered nonconforming pursuant to the <br />provisions of Chapter 1123 of this Code and will require a variance from the Council to <br />build or rebuild. <br /> <br /> a. Nonconforming Parcels: A nonconforming parcel shall exist: <br /> <br /> (1) Where any portion of the parcel is contained in a wetlands district; or <br /> <br /> (2) Where twenty percent (20%) of a parcel or at least two thousand (2,000) square <br />feet of the parcel, whichever is less, shall be contained within the wetland buffer area. <br /> <br /> b. Nonconforming Buildings: A nonconforming building shall exist: <br /> <br /> (1) Where it does not meet building or structure setback requirements. <br /> <br /> (2) Where it does not meet floor elevation requirements. (Ord. 505, 4-27-92) <br />
