Or j1WG0 r CITY OF D•1 MIT- EST.1906 Memorandum To: Hugo Planning Commission From: Rachel Juba, Community Development Director Date: July 25, 2022, for the Planning Commission Meeting of July 28, 2022 Re: Public Hearing— Revisions to the Shoreland Overlay District Setbacks 1. BACKGROUND: The Shoreland District is an overlay district in the City of Hugo. Overlay districts are areas within the City that have special regulations applied to them because of their unique characteristics. Overlay districts are superimposed over the underlying zoning districts and the regulations for each apply to the subject property. The Shoreland District of the City is land that is within 1,000 feet of the ordinary high water (OHW) level of the lakes, ponds, and flowages, and within 300 feet of the OHW level of the rivers and streams listed in the shoreland classification table in the ordinance. All of the land lying within the Shoreland District are subject to the regulations in the shoreland ordinance. 2. OVERVIEW OF SETBACK REVISIONS: Staff will be completing a larger zoning code revision to the shoreland ordinance, but wanted to start with the revisions to the structure setbacks. The larger zoning code revision will take a longer times to complete. The structure setbacks in the shoreland ordinance are more restrictive than the State Statutes regarding shoreland setbacks that the DNR uses. The setbacks are from the OHW of lakes, ponds, flowages, rivers, and streams. The setbacks vary depending on the classification of the waterbody. To have the setbacks align and match with the State Statutes, staff recommends the following revisions: Dimensional Requirements for Riparian Shoreland Development Classification Existing Setbacks Proposed Setbacks Natural Environment - sewered lot 150 Feet 150 Feet Natural Environment - unsewered lot 200 Feet 150 Feet Recreational —sewered lot 100 Feet 75 Feet Recreational — unsewered lot 100 Feet 100 Feet General Development—sewered lot 100 Feet 50 Feet General Development— unsewered lot 100 Feet 75 Feet
