6105.0020 PURPOSE.

The standards and criteria established in parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 will provide minimum statewide requirements for the selection, classification, management, and control of wild, scenic, and recreational rivers and their land use districts.

Statutory Authority:

MS s 104.34

Published Electronically:

June 11, 2008

6105.0030 SCOPE.

The standards and criteria for wild, scenic, and recreational rivers hereby established in parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 shall pertain to public waters and to public and private lands within the land use districts as defined in the management plan.

The extent of the lands so covered is a maximum of 320 acres per each mile of river on both sides (not each side) of those rivers or river segments which the commissioner of natural resources has designated as components of the Minnesota wild and scenic rivers system.

All state, local, and special governmental units, councils, commissions, boards, districts, agencies, departments, and other authorities shall exercise their powers so as to further the purpose of the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and management plans adopted thereunder.

Land owned by the state, its agencies and subdivisions shall be administered in accordance with the management plan. No land so owned within the land use district shall be transferred if the commissioner determines such transfer is inconsistent with the plan.

In case of conflict between a provision of the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of these parts and some other law of this state or provisions of existing local ordinances, the more protective provision shall apply.

6105.0060 RIVERS ELIGIBLE FOR INCLUSION IN RIVER SYSTEM.

Subpart 1.

General characterization and classification.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Minnesota wild and scenic rivers system, a river or segment of a river, and its adjacent lands must possess outstanding scenic, recreational, natural, historical, scientific, or similar values. The river or its segments shall be classified into one or more of the three classes of rivers: wild, scenic, and recreational. Each river shall be managed so as to preserve and protect the values which qualify it for designation and classification.

Subp. 2.

Wild rivers.

Wild rivers are those that exist in a free-flowing state with excellent water quality and with adjacent lands that are essentially primitive.

A.

"Free-flowing" means existing in natural condition without significant artificial modification such as impoundment, diversion, or straightening. The existence, however, of low dams, diversion works, or other minor structures shall not automatically bar its inclusion as a wild, scenic, or recreational river.

B.

"Excellent water quality" means that the water quality is in or approaches natural condition with no significant evidence of human activities.

C.

"Adjacent lands that are essentially primitive" means that the river's adjacent lands should possess a wilderness or natural-like appearance. These adjacent lands should be substantially free of habitation and other evidence of human intrusion. However, the existence of a few unobtrusive structures along the river would not bar a river from wild river classification nor would a limited amount of domestic livestock grazing and pasture land, and cropland developed for the production of hay.

Wild rivers should not be paralleled by conspicuous and well-traveled roads or railroads. Short, inconspicuous, and well-screened stretches would not bar a river from wild river classification, nor would a bridge or utility crossings.

Subp. 3.

Scenic rivers.

Scenic rivers are those rivers that exist in a free-flowing state and with adjacent lands that are largely undeveloped.

A.

"Free-flowing state" has the same meaning for scenic rivers as it does for wild rivers.

B.

"Adjacent lands that are largely undeveloped" means that the adjacent lands still present an overall natural character, but in places may have been developed for agricultural, residential, or other land uses. Small communities that are limited to short reaches of the total area would not bar a river from scenic river classification.

Although roads and railroads may occasionally bridge certain rivers, this will not bar such rivers from scenic river classification, nor will short stretches of conspicuous roads and railroads and longer stretches of inconspicuous and well screened roads or railroads paralleling the river.

Subp. 4.

Recreational rivers.

Recreational rivers are those rivers that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past and that may have adjacent lands which are considerably developed, but that are still capable of being managed so as to further the purposes of this act.

A.

"May have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past" means that there may be preexisting water resource development and diversions having an environmental impact greater than that described for wild and scenic rivers.

B.

"May have adjacent lands that are considerably developed" means that the bordering lands may have already been developed for a full range of agricultural or other land uses. Recreational rivers also may be readily accessible by preexisting roads or railroads.

6105.0070 PROCEDURE FOR INCLUDING A RIVER: MANAGEMENT PLANS.

Subpart 1.

In general.

For each river proposed to be included in the wild and scenic rivers system, the commissioner shall prepare a management plan. The plan shall:

A.

give emphasis to the preservation and protection of the area's scenic, recreational, natural, historic, and similar values;

B.

place no unreasonable restrictions upon compatible, preexisting, economic uses of particular tracts of land.

Subp. 2.

Contents of plan.

Each management plan shall include:

A.

The proposed classification of the river or appropriate segments.

B.

The proposed land use district boundaries which shall not exceed 320 acres per each mile of river on both sides (not each side) of the river.

C.

The proposed methods for preserving the river and its adjacent lands.

Land use controls, applied through local zoning ordinances, will be employed to preserve and protect the values of the river which justified its selection and classification.

Scenic easements or fee title to land may be acquired when preservation dictates stricter limits on shoreland development than land use controls can impose.

Fee ownership, or, when sufficient, use easements, may be acquired for campsites, accesses, launch areas, trails, and other public uses of land.

The commissioner can acquire fee and lesser interests in land by purchase, grant, gift, devise, exchange, or lease.

D.

The proposed regulations for local land use control. These shall be consistent with the river classification, but may differ from the standards and criteria of parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 to the extent necessary to take account of the particular attributes of the area.

E.

The proposed regulations, if any, for water surface use of the river.

F.

The proposed plan for recreational management within the land use district.

G.

The proposed plan for administration of the management plan.

6105.0080 LAND USE.

In order to preserve and protect those rivers and adjacent lands which possess outstanding scenic, recreational, natural, historical, scientific, and similar values, to reduce the effects of overcrowding and poorly planned development of such adjacent lands, to prevent pollution, to provide ample space on lots for sanitary facilities, to preserve natural beauty and quietude, to maintain property values, and to promote the general welfare, land use ordinances and official zoning district maps shall be enacted or amended by the county or municipality to comply with the management plan promulgated for lands within the jurisdiction of the local authority.

6105.0100 USE WITHIN LAND USE DISTRICTS.

Subpart 1.

Nonconforming uses.

All uses in existence prior to the effective date of enactment or amendment of the ordinance which do not conform to the use restrictions of the newly established land use district are nonconforming uses. Under the authority permitted by law, local authorities may adopt provisions to regulate and control, reduce the number or extent of, or gradually eliminate nonconforming uses. Local authorities shall provide for the gradual elimination of sanitary facilities inconsistent with part 6120.1300, subpart 3, items B, C, and E over a period of time not to exceed five years from the date of enactment of the local ordinance.

Subp. 2.

Substandard uses.

All uses in existence prior to the effective date of enactment or amendment of the ordinance which are permitted uses within the newly established land use district, but do not meet the minimum lot area, setbacks, or other dimensional requirements of the ordinance are substandard uses. All substandard uses, except for substandard signs, shall be allowed to continue subject to the following conditions and exceptions:

A.

Any structural alteration or addition to a substandard use which will increase the substandard dimensions shall not be allowed.

B.

Each local authority shall provide for the gradual amortization of substandard signs over a period of time not to exceed five years from the enactment or amendment of the ordinance.

Subp. 3.

Permitted and conditional uses.

In the following table of uses P means permitted use, C means conditional use, and N means nonpermitted use.

Certain of the following uses are subject to the zoning dimension provisions and sanitary provisions in parts 6105.0110 and 6105.0120. All of the following uses are subject to the vegetative cutting provisions and the grading and filling provisions in parts 6105.0150 and 6105.0160.

6105.0110 ZONING DIMENSIONS.

Subpart 1.

Substandard lots.

Lots of record in the office of the county register of deeds or registrar of titles on the effective date of enactment or amendment of the local land use ordinance, which do not meet the requirements of this part shall be allowed as building sites provided the proposed use is consistent with the local ordinance and the sanitary provisions, part 6105.0120, and the zoning dimension provisions, part 6105.0110, are complied with to the greatest extent practicable.

If in a group of two or more contiguous lots under a single ownership any individual lot does not meet the lot width requirements of the local ordinance, such individual lot cannot be considered as a separate parcel of land for purposes of sale or development, but must be combined with adjacent lots under the same ownership so that the combination of lots will equal one or more parcels of land each meeting the lot width requirements of the local ordinance, or to the greatest extent practicable.

Subp. 2.

Lot size.

For lots platted or created by metes and bounds description, the minimum size shall be:

A.

for wild rivers, at least six acres in area, and at least 300 feet in width at the building line and at least 300 feet at the water line for lots abutting a wild river;

B.

for scenic rivers, at least four acres in area, and at least 250 feet in width at the building line and at least 250 feet at the water line for lots abutting a scenic river;

6105.0230 REVIEWS AND CERTIFICATION OF LOCAL LAND USE DECISIONS.

Subpart 1.

Procedure established.

In order to ensure that the standards herein are not nullified by unjustified exceptions in particular cases, and to promote uniformity in the treatment of applications for such exceptions, a review and certification procedure is hereby established for certain local land use decisions. These certain decisions consist of any decisions which directly affect the use of land within a wild, scenic, or recreational river land use district, and are one of the following types of action:

A.

Adopting or amending an ordinance regulating the use of land, including rezoning of particular tracts of land.

B.

Granting a variance from a provision of the local land use ordinance which relates to the zoning dimension provisions of part 6105.0110 and any other zoning dimension provisions established in the management plan.

C.

Approving a plat which is inconsistent with the local land use ordinance.

Subp. 2.

Compliance with decision guides.

No such action shall be effective unless and until the commissioner has certified that the action complies with the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the statewide standards and criteria, and the management plan; and conforms to the following decision guides:

A.

A land use ordinance or amendment must comply with the act, the statewide standards and criteria, and the management plan.

B.

The grant of a variance requires the presence of these conditions:

(1)

The strict enforcement of the land use controls will result in unnecessary hardship. "Hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by the zoning provisions. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if any reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the ordinance.

(2)

Granting of the variance is not contrary to the purpose and intent of the zoning provisions herein established by these standards and criteria, and is consistent with the comprehensive management plan adopted by the commissioner.

(3)

There are exceptional circumstances unique to the subject property which were not created by the landowner.

(4)

Granting of the variance will not allow any use which is neither a permitted or conditional use in the land use district in which the subject property is located.

(5)

Granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality as established by the management plan.

(6)

Exception: where a setback pattern from the normal high water mark has already been established on both sides of the proposed building site, the setback of the proposed structure may be allowed to conform to that pattern. This provision shall apply only to lots which do not meet the minimum lot width restrictions of the ordinance.

C.

Approval of a plat which is inconsistent with the local land use ordinance is permissible only if the detrimental impact of the inconsistency is more than overcome by other protective characteristics of the proposal.

Subp. 3.

Procedures for the certification process.

Procedures:

A.

A copy of all notices of any public hearings, or where a public hearing is not required, a copy of the application to consider zoning amendments, variances, or inconsistent plats under the local ordinance shall be received by the commissioner at least 30 days prior to such hearings or meetings to consider such actions. The notice or application shall include a copy of the proposed ordinance or amendment, or a copy of the proposed inconsistent plat, or a description of the requested variance.

B.

The local authority shall notify the commissioner of its final decision on the proposed action, within ten days of the decision.

C.

The commissioner shall, no later than 30 days after receiving notice of the final decision, communicate to the local authority either certification of approval, with or without conditions, or notice of nonapproval.

D.

The action becomes effective when and only when either:

(1)

the final decision taken by the local authority has previously received certification of approval from the commissioner; or

(2)

the local authority receives certification of approval after its final decision; or

(3)

thirty days have elapsed from the day the commissioner received notice of the final decision, and the local authority has received from the commissioner neither certification of approval nor notice of nonapproval; or

(4)

the commissioner certifies approval after conducting a public hearing.

E.

In the case of notice of nonapproval of an ordinance or a variance or an inconsistent plat, either the applicant, or the chief executive officer of the county or municipality, may, within 30 days of said notice, file with the commissioner a demand for hearing. If the demand for hearing is not made within the 30 days, the notice of nonapproval becomes final. Also:

(1)

The hearing shall be held in an appropriate local community within 60 days of the demand for it but not before two weeks' published notice. Notice and the conduct of the hearing and the allocation of costs of the hearing shall be accomplished in the same manner as provided in Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.311, subdivisions 2, 6, and 7.

(2)

Within 30 days after the hearing, the commissioner shall either certify approval of the proposed action, or deny it. The decision shall be based upon findings of fact made on substantial evidence found in the hearing record. On concluding that the proposed action satisfies the standards and criteria of part 6105.0230, subpart 2, then the commissioner shall certify approval; otherwise, the commissioner shall deny it.

6105.0380 DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS AND CRITERIA.

Subpart 1.

Purpose.

The purpose of establishing dimensional standards and criteria in the Saint Croix Riverway shall be to protect riverway lands by means of acreage, frontage, setback, and height requirements on development. Specific objectives shall be to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the Saint Croix Riverway's dominant natural setting, to reduce the adverse effects of poorly planned shoreland and bluffland development, to provide sufficient space on lots for sanitary facilities, to minimize flood damage, to prevent pollution of surface and ground water, to minimize soil erosion, and to provide a natural buffer between the river and developed areas.

Subp. 2.

Substandard lots.

Lots recorded in the office of the county register of deeds prior to May 1, 1974, that do not meet the requirements of subpart 3, may be allowed as building sites when:

A.

the proposed use is permitted in the zoning district;

B.

the lot has been in separate ownership from abutting lands since May 1, 1974;

C.

it can be demonstrated that a proper and adequate sewage disposal system can be installed in accordance with the provisions of part 6105.0390, subpart 3; and

D.

the dimensional standards of a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance are complied with to the greatest extent practicable. A Saint Croix Riverway ordinance may, consistent with these standards and criteria, set a minimum size for substandard lots or impose other restrictions on the development of substandard lots.

Subp. 3.

Lot size.

For lots created after May 1, 1974, the minimum size shall be:

A.

In rural districts, not less than 2-1/2 acres in area; not less than 200 feet in width at the building line; and not less than 200 feet in width on the side abutting or nearest the river.

B.

In urban districts:

(1)

where public sewer and water were available as of May 1, 1974: not less than 20,000 square feet in area; not less than 100 feet in width at the building line; and not less than 100 feet in width on the side abutting or nearest the river; and

(2)

where public sewer and water were not available as of May 1, 1974: not less than one acre in area; not less than 150 feet in width at the building line, and not less than 150 feet in width on the side abutting or nearest the river.

Greater densities of development than those specified above may be permitted for planned cluster developments, subject to the provisions of part 6105.0400, subpart 4.

Subp. 4.

Number of dwelling units.

There shall not be more than one dwelling unit per lot, with the exception of planned cluster developments that shall be subject to the provisions of part 6105.0400, subpart 4.

Subp. 5.

Structure setbacks.

Structure setbacks:

A.

The following minimum setbacks from the ordinary high water mark and blufflines shall apply to all structures and private roads and parking areas, except those specified as exceptions herein:

(1)

In rural districts: not less than 200 feet from the ordinary high water mark and not less than 100 feet from a bluffline.

(2)

In urban districts: not less than 100 feet from the ordinary high water mark and not less than 40 feet from a bluffline.

B.

Exceptions to the minimum setbacks:

(1)

In rural districts, structure setback from a bluffline may be reduced up to a minimum of 40 feet when it can be demonstrated that no change in the natural appearance of the shoreline, slope, and bluffline will occur and the structure will be visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river. In reviewing the proposed building site, the local authority, in cooperation with an agent of the commissioner of natural resources, may determine that the structure setback can be varied to within the 40-to-100-foot range from a bluffline if the natural appearance of the shoreline, slope, and bluffline is preserved, and if the applicant agrees to donate a scenic easement to the state. Such scenic easement shall specify that on all land lying from the proposed building line to the river, or property line closest to the river, no destruction, cutting, trimming, or removal of trees, shrubs, bushes, or plants, and no topographic changes of the natural landscape by excavation, drainage, filling, dumping, or any other means shall occur without a written authorization from the commissioner of natural resources.

(2)

Where a substandard setback pattern from the ordinary high water mark or a bluffline has already been established by existing principal dwelling unit structures on adjacent lots on both sides of the proposed building site, the setback of the proposed structure shall be the average setback of the existing dwelling units plus at least 40 feet, or the required minimum setbacks of the particular zoning district, whichever distance is less from the average setback line. This exception shall apply only to substandard lots which do not meet the minimum lot width requirements of part 6105.0380, subpart 3.

(3)

Developments subject to state permits which provide services to the public and which, by their nature, require location on or near public waters shall be subject to the conditions of the state permits as provided in parts 6105.0390 and 6105.0410 to 6105.0440.

(4)

Temporary docks may be allowed as approved by federal, state, or local governments to extend into the water the minimum distance necessary to facilitate the launching or mooring of watercraft during the open-water season.

(5)

Signs may be allowed as approved by federal, state, or local governments which are necessary for the public health and safety. Signs may also be allowed that indicate areas that are available or not available for public use. Outside the minimum setbacks within the Saint Croix Riverway, signs that are otherwise lawful are permitted, provided they will be visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river.

(6)

Stairways and lifts to enable access from bluffland properties to the water on steep slopes may be allowed by the local authority, provided the disruption of vegetation and topography is kept to a minimum and the structure will be visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river.

Subp. 6.

Placement of structures.

In addition to the setback requirements of subpart 5, placement of structures shall be controlled as follows:

A.

Structures shall not be permitted on slopes greater than 12 percent, with the exception of stairways and lifts. Regardless of the number of blufflines on a given property, structures on slopes shall not be permitted. The physical alteration of slopes shall not be permitted for the purpose of overcoming this limitation.

B.

When a floodplain ordinance exists, no structure shall be located in the floodway, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.111, subdivision 5. Outside the floodway, structures shall be placed at an elevation consistent with any applicable floodplain management ordinance. Local units of government lacking such ordinances shall adopt floodplain management regulations in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.121, subdivisions 1 and 2. Until such adoption, the elevation to which the lowest floor of a structure, including a basement, shall be placed, shall be determined after an evaluation of available flood information, and shall be consistent with the statewide standards and criteria for management of floodplain areas in Minnesota.

C.

The total area of all impervious surfaces on a lot shall not exceed 20 percent of the total lot area.

Subp. 7.

Structure height.

The distance between the average ground level at the building line and the uppermost point of the structure shall not exceed 35 feet.

Subp. 8.

Color of structures.

The exterior color of new structures, including roofs, shall be of earth or summer vegetation tones, unless completely screened from the river by topography. This standard is recommended when repainting and reroofing existing structures visible from the river.

6105.0400 SUBDIVISIONS.

Subpart 1.

Land suitability.

Land may be subdivided only where it is demonstrated by the applicant that all lots are suitable for residential development. No land shall be subdivided which is held unsuitable by the local authority, or the commissioner, for the proposed use because of flooding, inadequate drainage, soil and rock formations with severe limitations for development, severe erosion potential, unfavorable topography, inadequate water supply or sewage disposal capabilities, or any other feature likely to be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents of the proposed subdivision or of the community.

Subp. 2.

Subdivision standards.

The provisions otherwise set forth in parts 6105.0360 to 6105.0440 shall apply to all plats except planned cluster developments.

Subp. 3.

Preliminary plan approval.

Preliminary plans for all plats, including planned cluster developments, shall be approved by the commissioner prior to their approval by the local authority.

Subp. 4.

Planned cluster developments.

A pattern of subdivision development which places dwelling units into compact groupings may be allowed when the proposed clustering provides a better means of preserving agricultural land, open space, woods, scenic views, wetlands, and other features of the natural environment than traditional subdivision development. Except for minimum setbacks and height limits, altered dimensional standards may be allowed as exceptions to Saint Croix Riverway ordinances for planned cluster developments provided:

A.

the number of dwelling units allowed shall not exceed 50 percent more than the total number of dwelling units allowed if the development was based on the minimum lot size requirements for a single-family residential subdivision;

B.

open space is preserved, including at least 50 percent of the length of shoreland or bluffland frontage as viewed from the river on which the placement of structures is otherwise permitted in part 6105.0380;

C.

temporary docks, if allowed, shall be centralized and of a size not to exceed the needs of the residents of the development;

D.

central sewage facilities, if allowed, shall meet the applicable standards, criteria, or rules of the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and any applicable local government regulations; and

6105.0410 MARINAS.

Subpart 1.

District location.

New marinas may only be allowed between the Boomsite Highway Wayside and Stillwater and downstream from the northern city limits of Stillwater in urban districts.

Exception: for rural districts downstream from Stillwater, where marina proposals have water permits pending and/or environmental assessments or impact statements have been ordered under the state or federal environmental impact statement process before the date of notice of hearing for these standards and criteria, the prohibition of marinas does not necessarily apply. These marina proposals may be permitted, modified, or denied on the basis of water permit hearings. This exception shall not be construed to limit or restrict any federal or state agency or court from basing a decision in any permit proceeding on the intent and purposes of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Public Law 92-560); Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.351, subdivisions 3 to 5; and any other applicable state or federal statutes and regulations.

Subp. 2.

Design standards.

New marinas or marina expansions may be permitted only if they are in the public interest, their size does not exceed the resource limitations of the site, and their design involves utilization of existing harbors in the watercourse or construction of harbors landward of the watercourse.

The design of a marina shall allow for screening between the harbor and the main channel of the watercourse so as to make marina facilities visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river.

An alternative to use of the water surface for new marinas or marina expansions could be the provision of drydocking facilities for the storage of boats during the open-water season.

Subp. 3.

Permit requirements.

No construction or development associated with a marina shall begin until all of the following authorizations have been obtained by the applicant:

A.

Land authorization. Marinas must be listed as a conditional use in a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance. For uses and structures above the ordinary high-water mark associated with a marina, a public hearing shall be held by the local authority to consider a marina as a conditional use in accordance with part 6105.0530, subparts 2 to 5. The local authority may approve or deny the marina as a result of the public hearing. If the local authority approves the marina, final issuance of the local permit shall be conditioned upon the granting of all state and federal permits required for a marina.

B.

Water authorization.

(1)

Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.245 requires a permit from the commissioner to change the course, current, or cross-section of public waters wholly or partly within the state in the Saint Croix Riverway by any means, including, but not limited to, filling, excavating, or placing of any materials in or on the beds of public waters.

(2)

Under section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 and/or section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, a permit for structures and/or fill is also required from the Army Corps of Engineers.

(3)

If the local authority grants the conditional use permit, then prior to the issuance of a permit required by Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.245 for the construction, reconstruction, or expansion of a marina in the Saint Croix Riverway, the commissioner may hold a public hearing as provided by Minnesota Statutes, section 103G.311.

(4)

Preservation of existing screening, or the establishment of adequate screening shall be a primary consideration of the commissioner in reviewing marina permit applications in the Saint Croix Riverway. Aesthetic incompatibility with the purposes of these standards and criteria shall be adequate justification for denial of a permit application by the commissioner.

(5)

Shoreline protective structures authorized by permit, such as rock riprap revetments, shall be of natural earth color tones so as to be visually inconspicuous from the river.

(6)

Below the ordinary high-water mark in the watercourse outside of harbors, no permanent pilings, piers, docks, levees, jetties, breakwaters, or the like shall be authorized for marinas.

C.

Sanitary authorization. All fueling and sanitary facilities associated with a marina shall conform to applicable standards, criteria, and rules of the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and any applicable local government regulations in terms of location, size, construction, use, and maintenance.

Variances shall only be granted where there are particular hardships which make the strict enforcement of a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance impractical. Hardship means the proposed use of the property and associated structures in question cannot be established under the conditions allowed by a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance; the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property, not created by the landowner after May 1, 1974; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property and associated structures exists under the conditions allowed by a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance. In addition, no variance shall be granted that would permit any use that is prohibited in a Saint Croix Riverway ordinance in which the subject property is located. Conditions may be imposed in the granting of variances to ensure compliance and to protect adjacent properties and the public interest, especially in regard to the view from the river.

The land use regulations contained in parts 6120.2600 to 6120.3900 shall be applied to all incorporated lands, and shall be administered in conformity with the provisions of parts 6105.0220 to 6105.0250, as applicable.

D.

Because acquisition of land, or interests in land, is from willing sellers, at the appraised value, some lands recommended for scenic easement acquisition may be purchased in fee title. This change from the recommended acquisition would be based on the mutual agreement by and between the state of Minnesota and the landowner(s). Furthermore, additional lands, or interests in land, may be purchased in order to further the policies established in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 271, and this management plan.

E.

Land exchanges will be expedited, wherever feasible, in order to acquire lands within the land use district boundaries. These exchanges will be expedited in the manner prescribed by state law. However, land exchanges will not be recommended if such exchanges would adversely affect other Department of Natural Resources management programs.

No public river-oriented camping facilities will be provided in close proximity to private recreational developments which are designed to serve the public demand for these.

Subp. 4.

Regulated use.

The recreational use of the Mississippi Scenic and Recreational River and adjacent public lands will be regulated where necessary to ensure that the use does not adversely affect the values for which the river qualified for designation.

Subp. 5.

Management maps.

The commissioner of natural resources adopts the recreation management maps, plates 1 to 9 in part 6105.0960, for the protection, recreational use, and management of public lands or interests in land, for the Mississippi Scenic and Recreational River and its adjacent lands within the recreational river land use districts.

Management maps.

The commissioner of natural resources hereby adopts the land management maps, plates 1 to 9 in part 6105.0950 to the area identified in the legal description and according to part 6105.0070, subpart 2, item B for the protection and management of lands within the scenic and recreational river land use districts.

A.

Parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 shall apply to all lands within the scenic and recreational river land use districts that are within unincorporated areas of the counties at the time of designations. Federal lands, however, are not subject to these parts.

The land or interests in land recommended to be acquired in this plan will be acquired where funds are available for such purchases, in the manner as provided for in Minnesota Statutes 1974, section 104.37.

C.

Portions of the scenic or recreational land use districts which are within the boundaries of municipalities on the date of designation shall be covered by various provisions of parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 and parts 6120.2600 to 6120.3900, as specified in part 6105.0870, subparts 5 to 9.

D.

Because acquisition of land, or interests in land, is from willing sellers, at the appraised value, some lands recommended for scenic easement acquisition may be purchased in fee title. This change from the recommended acquisition would be based on the mutual agreement by and between the state of Minnesota and the landowner(s). Furthermore, additional lands, or interests in land, may be purchased in order to further the policies established in Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.305, and this management plan.

E.

Land exchanges will be expedited, wherever feasible, in order to acquire lands within the land use district boundaries. These exchanges will be expedited in the manner described by law. However, land exchanges will not be recommended if such exchanges would adversely affect other Department of Natural Resources management programs.

6105.0880 INTERAGENCY RECOMMENDATIONS.

Subpart 1.

Federal and state relations.

As authorized under Minnesota Statutes 1974, section 161.142, subdivision 4 the commissioner of transportation "...may act as agent for any other department of state, public corporation, or political subdivision of the state in accepting federal aid in their behalf for the purposes expressed in subdivisions 1 to 7." This relates to the planning, acquisition, development, maintenance, and overall administration of the Great River Road. Accordingly, it is recommended that a portion of any federal funds made available to the state of Minnesota for expenditure on the Great River Road be accepted by the commissioner of transportation, on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, for the purposes of land acquisition related to preservation of areas adjacent to the designated recreational river and the Great River Road.

It is further recommended that any proposed development, acquisition or related action concerning the Great River Road be conducted and administered in accordance with this management plan and the provisions of parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250.

Since the Department of Natural Resources is responsible for administering the Mississippi as a scenic and recreational river, it is recommended that the state of Minnesota, through the appropriate application process, apply for those islands presently administered by the Bureau of Land Management to be transferred to the Department of Natural Resources under the authority granted the commissioner of natural resources in Minnesota Statutes 1974, section 104.35.

The Department of Natural Resources is presently working in cooperation with the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, U.S. Department of Interior, on their study of the Mississippi River from Itasca to Anoka for possible inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system. This study area includes that portion of the river from Saint Cloud to Anoka hereby designated as a state scenic and recreational river. If the entire federal study area is recommended for inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system it is recommended that the portion from Saint Cloud to Anoka continue to be administered by the Department of Natural Resources.

Subp. 2.

Other governmental units.

Other governmental units:

A.

In order to further the purposes of the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, it is recommended that all Department of Transportation lands within the recreational river land use districts be administered in accordance with the provisions of parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 and this management plan. In particular, it is stated in part 6105.0100, subpart 3, item C that public accesses within the recreational river land use district will be subject to management plan specifications and will be considered as permitted uses. Also, part 6105.0200, subpart 7 states that highway waysides shall be designed in such a manner so as to harmonize with the surroundings.

No Department of Natural Resources corridor trails are proposed in this management plan for the Mississippi scenic or recreational river area. Local residents and landowners may desire specific recreational trails for their area. If so, it is recommended that such trails be developed through the Department of Natural Resources' trail assistance programs. Through the department's trail assistance programs, funds for local trail development and maintenance are made available to local units of government.

C.

It is recommended that the Minnesota Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources, Governor's Trail Advisory Committee, counties, municipalities, and other agencies and groups, conduct a study to determine an appropriate route for a bicycle route paralleling the Mississippi River from the Twin Cities to Saint Cloud.

D.

To help ensure that the outstanding heritage of the Mississippi River will be protected for future generations, it is recommended that the Minnesota Historical Society conduct an inventory of all historical and archaeological sites within the proposed scenic and recreational river land use districts, and recommend appropriate methods for preservation of those having outstanding historical significance.

E.

It is recommended that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency be appropriated sufficient funds to conduct ongoing analysis and monitoring of water quality information, and to allow for appropriate measures to ensure that water quality regulations and standards be maintained for the Mississippi River.

F.

It is recommended that Stearns County and the city of Saint Cloud work with local groups and the Department of Natural Resources to determine the best site for location of an access to the river below the Saint Cloud Dam.

6105.1040 LAND USE MANAGEMENT.

Subpart 1.

Adoption of land use district.

The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources hereby adopts the recreational river land use districts as identified in the land use district property descriptions. The land use district was derived in accordance with part 6105.0070, subpart 2, item B.

A.

The regulations contained in parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 and this management plan shall be applicable to all lands which are unincorporated at the time of designation within the recreational river land use district.

B.

The land use regulations contained in parts 6120.2600 to 6120.3900 and this management plan shall be applied to all incorporated lands, and shall be administered in conformity with the provisions of parts 6105.0220 to 6105.0250, as applicable.

C.

All existing local ordinances and regulations, as adopted in accordance with parts 6120.0200 to 6120.2100, which are more protective than those in parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 shall continue to apply within the entire land use district, as applicable.

Subp. 2.

Building height.

The maximum building height restriction contained in part 6105.0110, subpart 3, item D, shall not apply to buildings used primarily for agricultural purposes.

Subp. 3.

6105.1050 LAND ACQUISITION.

Subpart 1.

Scenic areas.

The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources hereby adopts the scenic areas, as identified in the scenic areas property descriptions, as priority areas for land or land interest acquisition.

A.

All lands shown as scenic areas are recommended for scenic easement acquisition. However, in those areas where recreational sites are needed, fee title to the lands may be acquired, when possible.

B.

Because acquisition of land, or interests in land, is from willing sellers, at the appraised value, some lands shown as scenic areas and not needed for recreational sites may be purchased in fee title. Purchase of fee title to lands would be based on an agreement between the state of Minnesota and the landowner(s).

C.

Other forms of acquisition, such as use easements or leases, may be used to acquire land interests in the scenic areas if considered feasible or necessary by the commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources.

Subp. 2.

Purchase of lands.

Lands, or interests in land, other than those identified as scenic areas, may be purchased in order to further the policies established in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and the management plan.

Subp. 3.

Funds.

The lands or interests in land recommended to be acquired in this plan will be acquired where funds are available for such purchases from willing sellers, as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.331.

Subp. 4.

Land exchanges.

Land exchange will be expedited, wherever feasible, in order to acquire lands within the land use district boundaries. These exchanges will be expedited in the manner described by state law. However, land exchanges will not be recommended if such exchanges would adversely affect other Department of Natural Resources management programs.

6105.1060 RECREATION MANAGEMENT.

Subpart 1.

Policy.

As provided for in this management plan, the recreation management policy is to provide for the orderly use of public lands and waters within the recreational river land use district. The development of selected land and river-oriented recreational facilities and the maintenance to these could help protect the rights of private landowners, ensure quietude, prohibit trespassing, and maintain the essential quality of wild and scenic river land use districts as provided in part 6105.0210.

Subp. 2.

Design specifications.

As provided for in part 6105.0100, subpart 3 and the management plan, development of public or private recreational facilities within the recreational river land use district shall conform to the design specification guidelines shown in this plan.

Subp. 3.

Camping.

No public river-oriented camping facilities will be provided in close proximity to private recreational developments which are designed to meet this need.

Subp. 4.

Regulation of use.

The recreational use of the north fork of the Crow recreational river and adjacent state lands will be regulated where necessary to ensure that the use does not adversely affect the values for which the river qualified for designation.

Subp. 5.

Management maps.

The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources adopts the recreation management maps for the protection, recreational use, and management of public lands or interests in land, for the north fork of the Crow recreational river and its adjacent lands within the recreational river land use district. The locations, types, and number of sites shown on the recreation management map are recommendations.

Subp. 6.

Funds.

The Division of Parks and Recreation shall allocate funds for maintenance of the Department of Natural Resources' recreational facilities within the north fork of the Crow recreational river area from the department's river development and maintenance account.

Subp. 7.

Division of responsibilities.

The DNR's Division of Enforcement shall enter into discussions with the local units of government concerning delineation of responsibilities for enforcement of applicable wild, scenic, and recreational river regulations.

Subp. 8.

Snowmobile trails.

Additional public snowmobile trails may be established within the land use district, when developed in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources.

Subp. 9.

New recreational facilities.

Development of any new recreational facilities (other than those shown on the recreation management map) by the DNR shall be done only if assurances can be made that these facilities, and any increased use caused by them, will not adversely affect the quality of the river. Local authorities shall be consulted prior to future development of recreational facilities by the DNR.

6105.1080 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL UNITS.

Recommendations:

A.

It is recommended that Meeker County work with the board of supervisors of the Soil and Water Conservation District in setting criteria for the use of Natural Resources Conservation Service technical assistance for evaluating grading and filling permit requests relating to part 6105.0160, grading and filling provisions.

B.

It is recommended that the Meeker County Highway Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation cooperate with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources by placing no parking signs along any bridge crossing rights-of-way that are determined to be inadequate or dangerous as river access points.

C.

It is recommended that the Meeker County Park Board complete development of lands it owns along the management area. DNR assistance will be provided for development, where appropriate.

D.

It is recommended that the State Planning Agency, Office of Local and Urban Affairs, give priority to any local funding to requests for fee title acquisition of land for recreational sites within the management area consistent with the goals of the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP).

E.

No Department of Natural Resources corridor trails are proposed in this management plan for the Crow River area. Local residents and landowners may desire specific trails. If so, it is recommended that such trails be developed through DNR's trail assistance programs, which make funds for trail development and maintenance available to local units of government, and private clubs and organizations.

F.

To ensure that the historical heritage of the Crow River will be protected for the enjoyment of present and future generations, it is recommended that the Minnesota Historical Society consider the feasibility of conducting a study of historical and archaeological sites within the management area.

G.

It is recommended that any recreational facilities, other than those shown on the recreation management map, be developed by local units of government, to ensure that maximum local input is obtained.

Subpart 1.

Acquisition funds.

The lands or interests in land recommended to be acquired in this plan will be acquired when funds are available for such purchases from willing sellers, as provided for in Minnesota Statutes 1974, section 104.37.

A.

Fee title acquisition is recommended in those areas where recreational sites are needed. These areas are identified in the fee title descriptions.

B.

Scenic easement acquisition is recommended in those areas having outstanding scenic or natural characteristics as identified in the scenic easement descriptions.

C.

Because fee title acquisition or scenic easement acquisition is from willing sellers at the appraised market value, some lands recommended for scenic easement acquisition may be purchased in fee title. Some lands recommended for fee title acquisition may be purchased in scenic easement. This change from the recommended acquisition would be based on the mutual agreement by and between the state of Minnesota and the landowner(s).

Subp. 2.

Other forms of acquisition.

Other forms of acquisition, such as use easements or leases, may be used to acquire interests in lands within the land use districts.

Subp. 3.

6105.1440 LAND USE MANAGEMENT.

Subpart 1.

Adoption of land use districts.

The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources hereby adopts the wild, scenic, and recreational land use districts as identified in the land use district descriptions in part 6105.1480. The land use districts were derived in accordance with part 6105.0070, subpart 2, item B.

A.

Parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 shall apply to all lands in the wild, scenic, and recreational land use districts, except as specified in subpart 4, item G.

B.

If land is annexed, incorporated, or in any other way transferred to another jurisdiction, a moratorium shall exist on all construction, grading and filling, and vegetative cutting until the newly responsible unit of government adopts zoning for that land. The zoning shall meet the provisions of this management plan which applied to the land before the transfer. This provision does not apply to work for which lawful permits were previously issued.

Subp. 2.

Tributaries.

Parts 6105.0110, subpart 3, item B, subitem (3); 6105.0120; and 6105.0150, subpart 1 specify regulations concerning designated tributaries. Designated tributaries along the Rum River shall be:

A.

Bradbury Brook;

B.

Tibbetts Brook;

C.

Vandell Brook;

D.

Bogus Brook;

E.

West Branch of Rum River;

F.

Spencer Brook;

G.

Green Lake Brook;

H.

Stanchfield Creek;

I.

Lower Stanchfield Brook;

J.

Isanti Brook;

K.

Seelye Brook;

L.

Cedar Creek; and

M.

Trott Brook.

Subp. 3.

Grading and filling.

The grading and filling provision, part 6105.0160, shall be enforced by local ordinance which shall require a grading and filling permit.

Subp. 4.

Modifications of other rules.

Certain provisions of parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 are modified for purposes of the management plan, as follows:

A.

Because of the erosive nature of soils along much of the Rum River, part 6105.0110, subpart 3, item C is modified to read: Structures shall not be located on slopes greater than 12 percent, unless such structures are screened from the river view with natural vegetation where practicable, the sanitary provisions of this plan are complied with, and the building permit applicant can prove to the local zoning authority that any potential erosion or sedimentation problems related to locating a structure either do not exist or that adequate measures will be taken to prevent any of these problems through special construction methods.

B.

Because of land forms and high groundwater levels encountered on lands adjacent to much of the Rum River and to help further the enforcement of Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (PCA) standards relating to on-site sewage disposal systems, parts 6105.0120 and 6120.3400 are modified by adding a new subdivision reading: Local units of government shall require that both percolation-rate tests and soils boring tests be done on any proposed sites prior to approval of an on-site sewage disposal system installation permit. When new on-site sewage disposal system standards are officially adopted by the PCA, those standards shall take precedence over those of this program.

C.

Because of land forms and high groundwater levels found along the Rum River and to further the enforcement of the sanitary provisions and the subdivision regulations, parts 6105.0140 and 6120.3500 to 6120.3800 are modified by adding the following sentence to these regulations: No plat or subdivision within the land use district shall be approved by a local unit of government until the applicant for the plat or subdivision has proven to the local zoning authority, through the methods described in item B as modified in this plan that every newly platted lot found within the land use district has adequate area and a suitable location for the installation of a conforming septic tank and soil absorption system.

D.

Because of the large number of existing plats along some sections of the Rum River, part 6105.0110, subpart 1, is clarified by replacing the final phrase, "or to the greatest extent practicable," with this clause: "except that such lots which meet or exceed 60 percent or more of the lot width standards of these regulations may be considered as a separate parcel of land for the purpose of sale or development, if on-site sewage disposal systems can be installed so as to comply with these regulations." This provision shall also apply in urban areas.

E.

Because parts 6105.0080 to 6105.0200 provides neither the necessary flexibility nor the control over the great recreational development potential of the Rum River, the table of land use district uses in part 6105.0100, subpart 3 is modified so that the uses specified in part 6105.0100, subpart 3, items A, B, C, D, F, and G are amended by adding to their descriptions the following phrase: "and approval by the commissioner of natural resources." This provision shall also apply in urban areas but shall not apply to the areas and facilities noted in part 6105.1460, subpart 4.

F.

Because agricultural uses are permitted in the land use district area and because of the preexistence of agricultural buildings along most of the Rum River's adjacent lands, the maximum building height restriction contained in part 6105.0110, subpart 3, item D shall not apply to buildings used primarily for agriculture purposes.

G.

Because some areas along the Rum River have been considerably developed, have or soon will have public sewer and water available, and because the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act states that management plans shall be prepared "with no unreasonable restrictions upon compatible, preexisting, economic uses of particular tracts of land ...", the following areas are exempted from the provisions of part 6105.1440, subpart 1, item A. Within the boundaries of the municipalities, at the time of designation, of Onamia, Milaca, Princeton, Cambridge, Isanti, Anoka, Saint Francis (that portion located in the S 1/2 of Section 29, T34N-R24W, west of river only; Section 32, T34N-R24W; and the N 1/2 of Section 5, T33N-R24W) and Ramsey (that portion located in the S 1/2 Section 19, T32N-R24W; and Sections 25, 36, plus the S 1/2 of Section 24, T32N-R23W). These areas shall be considered urban areas and the following regulations shall apply within the wild, scenic, or recreational land use districts of these areas, regardless of the classification of the river, as follows: parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0070; 6105.0100, subpart 3, items A, B, C, D, F, and G; and 6105.0150 (within the building setback areas required in urban areas); parts 6105.0160, subparts 1, 2, and 4; 6105.0190; 6105.0200; part 6105.0210; parts 6105.0220 to 6105.0250; part 6120.2500 (where certain terms are not defined in parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0070); parts 6120.3100 and 6120.3200; part 6120.3300, subparts 2 and 3 (For recreational development waters); part 6120.3300, subpart 4, item C; part 6120.3300, subpart 5; part 6120.3400 (For recreational development waters); parts 6120.3500 and 6120.3800; and 6120.3900, subparts 2 and 4.

Subp. 5.

Bridges.

The proposed bridges across the Rum River located at about Section 25, T 32 N-R 25 W and at about Sections 13 and 24, T 32 N-R 25 W (also referred to as the Anoka County Road No. 20 and No. 57 bridge proposals) and the three proposed bridge crossings for U.S. Highway No. 169 in Mille Lacs County shall be considered preexisting uses of riverside lands, because they have been included in existing long-range thoroughfare plans for the area or environmental impact statements have been finalized. However, any development of these bridges shall comply with the construction and permit requirements of parts 6105.0190 and 6105.0200. In addition, reconstruction, replacement, or upgrading of existing bridge crossings shall be considered in compliance with the policy of the management plan when the procedures of parts 6105.0190 to 6105.0200 are followed.

Subp. 6.

Substandard structures.

Replacement of substandard structures may be allowed, limited, or prohibited by the local ordinance.

6105.1450 LAND ACQUISITION.

Subpart 1.

Priority areas.

The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources hereby adopts the fee title and scenic easement lands, as identified in the fee title descriptions and scenic easement descriptions in parts 6105.1490 and 6105.1500, as priority areas for these types of acquisition:

A.

Fee title acquisition is recommended in those areas where recreational sites are needed, and to consolidate existing blocks of public ownership, as identified in the fee title descriptions in part 6105.1500.

B.

Scenic easement acquisition is recommended in those areas having outstanding scenic, natural, or similar values as identified in the scenic easement descriptions in part 6105.1490.

C.

Because acquisition of lands or interests in land is from willing sellers at market value, some lands recommended for scenic easement acquisition may be purchased in fee title and some lands recommended for fee title acquisition may be purchased as scenic easements. These changes from the recommended acquisition can be done only with the mutual agreement by and between the state of Minnesota and the landowner(s). Furthermore, additional land or interests in land other than those recommended may be purchased within the land use districts to further the policies established in Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.305 and the management plan.

D.

Other forms of acquisition such as use easements or leases, may be substituted for the recommended acquisition or used to acquire interests in other lands within the land use districts, when such purchases further the policies of this plan and Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.305.

Subp. 2.

Funds for acquisition.

Land or interests in land recommended to be acquired in the plan will be acquired from willing sellers when funds are available for such purposes as provided for in Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.331.

Subp. 3.

Land exchange.

Whenever feasible, land will be exchanged in a manner prescribed by state law to acquire land in the land use districts. Land will not be exchanged, however, if such exchanges would adversely affect this or other Department of Natural Resources (DNR) management programs.

Subp. 4.

Islands.

All islands acquired by or transferred to the DNR shall be managed in a manner consistent with policy established in the Minnesota Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and this management plan.

6105.1460 RECREATION MANAGEMENT.

Subpart 1.

Policy.

As provided for in this management plan, the recreation management policy is to provide for the orderly use of public lands and waters within the wild, scenic, and recreational river land use districts. The development of selected land- and river-oriented recreational facilities and the maintenance of these will help protect the rights of private landowners, ensure quietude, prohibit trespassing, and maintain the essential quality of wild and scenic river land use districts, as provided for in part 6105.0210, subpart 1. A specific recreation management policy shall be the enforcement of the statutes and regulations pertaining to littering (Minnesota Statutes, section 609.68 and part 6105.0210, subpart 2) and the promotion and advertising of a carry-in, carry-out philosophy, that is, for river users to take their trash home with them.

Subp. 2.

Regulated use.

The recreational use of the Rum Wild, Scenic, and Recreational River and adjacent state lands will be regulated when and where considered necessary by the commissioner to ensure that the use does not adversely affect the values which qualified the river for designation.

Subp. 3.

Design specifications.

As provided for in part 6105.0100, subpart 3 and the management plan, the development of public or private recreational facilities within the wild, scenic, and recreational river land use districts shall conform to the design specification guidelines shown in part 6105.0940 and the management plan.

Subp. 4.

Priority areas.

Priority areas for recreational development include:

A.

Certain privately owned lands, which may be acquired by the DNR from willing sellers. The proposed lands and proposed uses of these lands are shown in the fee title descriptions in part 6105.1500. The exact locations of these sites may vary, depending on the availability of willing sellers, however, the total numbers of priority sites shall remain constant.

B.

6105.1610 LAND USE MANAGEMENT.

Subpart 1.

Adoption of land use district descriptions.

The commissioner of natural resources hereby adopts the scenic and recreational land use districts as identified in the land use district descriptions of parts 6105.1550 to 6105.1700. The land use districts were derived in accordance with part 6105.0070, subpart 2, item B.

Subp. 2.

Scope.

Parts 6105.0010 to 6105.0250 shall apply to all lands within the scenic and recreational land use districts, except as specified in parts 6105.1550 to 6105.1700.

Subp. 3.

Special rules for Cannon Falls, Dundas, and Northfield.

Because some areas along the Cannon River have been considerably developed, and because the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act states that management plans shall be prepared with no unreasonable restrictions upon compatible, preexisting, economic uses of particular tracts of land (Minnesota Statutes, section 103F.325), the municipalities of Cannon Falls, Dundas, and Northfield shall adopt rules as specified in part 6105.1670.

Subp. 4.

Moratoriums.

When land in the land use district is annexed, incorporated, or in any other way transferred to another jurisdiction, a moratorium shall exist on all subdivision platting, building permits, construction, grading and filling, and vegetative cutting until the newly responsible unit of government adopts zoning for that land. The zoning shall meet the provisions of these rules that applied to the land before the transfer. This provision does not apply to work for which lawful permits were previously issued.

Subp. 5.

Sand and gravel extraction.

Because the Cannon River valley is a major source of sand and gravel in the area and because this resource can be extracted in a manner that will have minor environmental impact, sand and gravel extraction shall be allowed as a conditional use, subject to the following conditions:

A.

Commercial manufacturing of sand and gravel by-products shall be nonpermitted uses in the land use district.

B.

The following shall be submitted to the local authority as part of the application for a conditional use permit:

(1)

a detailed site plan;

(2)

a soil erosion and sediment control plan showing that the mining operation will not adversely affect the quality of surface or subsurface waters;

(3)

a dust and noise control plan; and

(4)

a detailed site reclamation plan.

Reclamation shall be initiated immediately after the termination of the mining operation and upon completion the area shall be restored to as near its original state as practicable.

C.

Mining operations shall not take place within 300 feet of the river. This distance does not apply to water pumps needed for the mining operation. However, appropriation of water from the river shall require a permit from the DNR, Division of Waters.

D.

No sand and gravel operation shall be conducted on parcels of land or a combination of parcels of less than 20 acres.

Subp. 6.

Litter.

To reduce the effects of litter along the river, canoe and inner tube rental establishments shall:

A.

provide disposable refuse containers to those renting canoes and inner tubes; and

B.

require the return of refuse containers along with all refuse from the river trip.

Subp. 7.

Welch.

Existing development in the unincorporated area of Welch in E 1/2, W 1/2, NE 1/4 of Section 28, T113N-R16W, north of the river, shall be allowed to continue as now identified by the Goodhue County zoning ordinance, as amended in 1976.

Subp. 8.

Agricultural buildings.

Because agricultural uses are permitted in the land use district and because of the preexistence of agricultural buildings along the Cannon River, part 6105.0110, subpart 3, item D, shall be amended to read: structure height shall not exceed 35 feet, except for buildings used primarily for agricultural purposes.

Subp. 9.

Structures.

Part 6105.0110, subpart 3, item C, subitem (1) shall be modified to read:

A.

Sewage system facilities must be installed so as to comply with the sanitary provisions of part 6105.0120.

B.

Structures must be adequately screened.

C.

It must be proven that any potential or actual erosion or sedimentation problems do not exist, and that adequate measures shall be taken to prevent them.

D.

Where bearing capacity is in doubt soil boring samples must be taken.

E.

Consideration must be given to color and architectural design (including roof slope and orientation), subject to approval of the township and county planning commission.

Subp. 10.

Land use districts.

A.

Part 6105.0100, subpart 3 shall be amended to include the following:

Land use districts
Scenic RiverRecreational River
T. Sand and gravel extraction, subject to provisions of subpart 5.CC
U. Canoe rental establishments, subject to provisions of subpart 6.CC
